1. Introduction
Phononic canonical quasicrystalline waveguides
I am glad to present a recent set of papers highlighting the noteworthy properties of 1D periodic waveguides generated by a quasicrystalline sequence. The concept of canonical configuration explains how to obtain a periodic frequency spectrum and why this outcome is connected to trace mapping:

how did fraeijs de veubeke pass away?
I see references to his "untimely death". Yet, I have never been able to find out what happened. I'm curious, does anyone know what happened to him?
Incidentally, many of his papers can be found at the following link for free:

I expect some of his papers would be of interest to mechanicians.
3 Ph.D. Positions in Multiscale Mechanics and Materials
Three fully supported Ph.D. positions are open immediately in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Labat the University of Alabama on multiscale modeling of materials and processes. The research directions are in the following fields:
1. Additive Manufacturing (1 position): The goal of this project is to model the additive manufacturing process and to develop new alloys for additive manufacturing.
A Postdoc Position in Multiscale Mechanics and Materials
An immediate postdoc position is open in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama on multiscale modeling of materials and processes.
Introducing Ansys Innovation Courses
ANSYS, Inc. has been investing time and resources into their knowledge resources and academic program and their recent contribution to the community is the "Ansys Innovation Courses". These are on-demand physics-based courses that are free for everyone which empowers students and professionals to visualize, reinforce, and rapidly master key physics concepts, with the help of simulations.
Asking for a paper
Hello all,
I am looking for the following paper: Nash, C. D. "Fatigue of self-healing structure-a generalized theory of fatigue failure." MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. Vol. 89. No. 2. 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017: ASME-AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENG, 1967.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find it anywhere. Even I ordered it through RACER but they sent the abstract to me. I would really appreciate it if someone can provide me with this paper.
regards,
Faezeh
