Dear iMechanicians, I hope that our latest JMPS paper is of interest to you. We show how the phase field paradigm can be extended to model localised corrosion (aqueous electrolyte-solid interface) and the associated damage mechanisms.

A central tool of nonlinear anelasticity is the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation tensor that assumes that the deformation gradient can be decomposed as a product of an elastic and an anelastic tensor. It is usually justified by the existence of an intermediate configuration. Yet, this configuration cannot exist in Euclidean space, in general, and the mathematical basis for this assumption is on unsatisfactory ground.

A research assistant (RA graduate student) position and a postdoc position are immediately available at penn State in the area of computational mechanobiology. These positions will be jointly advised by Profs. Daniel Cosgrove (biochemistry) and Sulin Zhang (mechanics), and will closely collaobrate with experimetnal groups in the CSLF (DoE EFRI center) at Penn State. Interested students with solid background in computational mechanics are welcome to apply.
Excited to announce that Anthony Lau and I are editing a special issue for Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354)- Pubmed Indexed - Quantification of Biological and Mechanical Changes Due to Radiation Exposure. Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 June 2021.

1. Introduction
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Merced (UC Merced) is looking for highly competitive and enthusiastic applicants for our Master’s and Ph.D. programs, with a starting date of Fall 2021. The department is active in both classical end emerging areas of research in mechanical engineering. For more details about research activities, faculty profiles and graduate education, please visit: me.ucmerced.edu.
The paper "Estimating static/dynamic strength of notched unreinforced concrete under mixed-mode I/II loading" by N. Alanazi and L. Susmel in Engineering Fracture Mechanics 240 (2020) 107329, pp. 1-18, is a readworthy and very interesting paper. Extensive fracture mechanical testing of concrete is throughly described in the paper. The tests are performed for different fracture mode mixities applied to test specimens with different notch root radii at various elevated loading rates.
I would like to share another article from my group just published in CMAME. I think this is an interesting approach towards the automatic generation of constitutive laws for arbitrary microstructures:
https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1bxlSAQEIt1ls
The article focuses on how to systematically create constitutive laws using only:
1) Available microstructural models
2) Machine learning techniques
