Since their inception, more than two decades ago, phononic crystals and metamaterials have led to advanced materials with exceptional acoustic and elastic characteristics, such as negative effective mass and stiffness. In these materials, the dispersion properties and the energy transfer are controlled by selecting the geometry of the lattices and their constitutive material properties. Most designs, however, only affect one mode of energy propagation, transmitted either as acoustic airborne sound or as elastic structural vibrations.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

In this short course, we will introduce the participants to the latest efforts on data-driven methods for mechanical and material sciences. The course will cover topics on
1. mechanistic data-driven clustering methods, direct and reduced order modeling techniques,
2. physics-informed neural networks, multi-fidelity Gaussian processes,
3. deep material networks and multiscale material failure analysis.
Some benchmarks on nano-polymer composites, polymer matrix composites, additive manufactured alloys will be demonstrated. For more details, please visit the website, http://15.usnccm.org/sc15-005.

A very limited number of openings to give Roundtable (25 min) talks are available. Special consideration will be given to young researchers. Two nights of lodging will be funded for these speakers. If you are interested in giving a Roundtable talk, you must submit an abstract.

Dear colleagues,

Richard Norte and I are looking for a postdoctoral scholar with interest in machine learning and good knowledge on finite element analyses.

This project is focused on computational mechanics in collaboration with a strong group on opto-mechanical devices.
