We are writing to invite the mechanics community to participate in the upcoming U. S. Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM) virtual thematic workshop on “New Trends and Open Challenges in Computational Mechanics: from nano to macroscale”, to be held online on March 25th and 26th, 2021.
After almost seven years development, we have achieved more and more clarity with the concept of structure gene and it governing principles (mechanics of structure genome). My recent talk on MSG summarizes its relations with materials genome, common structural theories, micromechanics, multiscale modeling, as well as its current application to deployable structures, homogeneous 3D elements, machine learning assisted multiscale modeling. You can watch this talk at Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d5LuQrLpCM&t=5s.
If you are interested in learning more about te Unified Mechanics Theory
my book is out in .pdf format. I welcome any comments (good and bad :-))

There is a Ph.D. opening in my research group in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Houston to be filled the fall semester of 2021.
The research topic is modeling the deformation and fracture response of dissipative material systems.
Two PhD positions are available within the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio for Summer or Fall 2021 in the area of injury biomechanics research focused on traumatic brain injury and computational modeling.
The overall goal of this research, headed by Dr. Marzieh Memar, is to integrate computational and experimental techniques to unfold mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury (TBI).
