Dear Colleagues,
We wanted to alert you for the call for nominations of the awards of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), which are due on September 15th, 2020.
There has been a lot of buzz and excitement about "big data" lately, to a point that science in the coming years would be made of and by "big data", not to mention "deep learning", another hot item. Well....I just wonder, how comes that nowadays, in those very tough corona times, haven't we founmd a vaccine, maybe a cure, or at least a sound epidemiologic study with clear outcomes using "deep learning" or "big data"? I will appreciate updates that will help me answering those simple questions.
Please see more information on this webinar on July 23rd on going from DICOM to Medical Guides and Additive Manufactured implants - a fascinating subject for anyone interested in patient-specific modelling:

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, invites you to join us from July 27th to 29th, 2020, for a virtual Symposium on Experimental Solid Mechanics.
The symposium is being organized in honor of Prof K R Yogendra Simha, who has worked extensively in the areas of fracture mechanics, impact mechanics and photoelasticity, and has taught and mentored generations of mechanical engineers.
One Ph.D. position in the field of design and mechanics of additively manufactured lattice structures is available in my group in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. This position is in the support of the 2020 NSF CAREER Award (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1943465&HistoricalAwards=false)
EML Webinar on July 15, 2020 will be given by Professors Basile Audoly (École Polytechnique) / Eitan Grinspun (University of Toronto) / Pedro M. Reis (EPFL) via Zoom meeting. Discussion leader: Professor John Maddocks, EPFL
Title: Collaborative adventures on the geometrically nonlinear mechanics of elastic rods
Time: 7 am California, 10 am Boston, 3 pm London, 10 pm Beijing on July 15, 2020
The USACM is happy to announce a virtual seminar this week by Professor Kai James on Thursday, July 16th at 2pm Eastern. The title of the seminar is "Topology Optimization of Self-Actuating Shape-Memory Polymer Mechanisms". An abstract of the talk is available here:

We have a number of seats available to anyone interested. We just ask attendees to register at this page:
I would like to share an article that was recently published in CMAME.
It is about MicroStructPy, a very flexible microstructure generator able to represent various statistics for microstructures with multiple phases. It works in 2D and 3D and you can provide, for each phase, grain size distributions, volume fraction, elongation and orientation distribution for elongated grains, etc.
