dear friends
Nature reported in Dec.2023 that up to four times more researchers pump out more than 60 papers a year than less than a decade ago. Saudi Arabia and Thailand saw the sharpest uptick in the number of such scientists over the past few years, according to a preprint posted on bioRxiv on 24 November.
A dream came true, and the fifth submission of this networking project to COST Association was approved for funding.
It will start from November 2024 for the total duration of 4 years. The broad cooperation will focus on developing tools and data sets, which can streamline research and validation of fatigue estimation criteria.
Please join us for next seminar presented by Yakov Zelickman. Dr. Yakov Zelickman from Johns Hopkins University will present their latest research on the design and optimization of sustainable structures. Please see the attached file for the abstract and the speaker's biography.

Dear colleagues,
I would like to remind you about the 35th Annual Robert J. Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper in Computational Mechanics that will be held at Duke University on October 14, 2024.
Position details: The Autonomy and Intelligence of Materials and Structures (AIMS) group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at the University of Alabama has an opening for a PhD student starting from Spring 2025. The research theme for this position is Mechanics and Manufacturing of Architected Devices. Students with the following profile will be considered.
Qualifications:
Dera iMechanica Community,
Below is information about a short course I will be offering at MIT this summer, in Live Virtual format: Machine Learning for Materials Informatics (Jul 29 - Aug 2, 2024). This is an exciting opportunity that will cover fundamentals and applications in the emerging space of AI/ML for engineering, featuring hands-on interactive code development in Jupyter notebooks. We'll do a deep dive into all critical tools from autoencoders to graph neural nets to multimodal LLMs and multi-agent modeling. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
Dear colleague
Dear colleagues, our new article (open access) is just published in Acta Materialia. In this research, we provide new insights into the mechanism of ferroelastic deformation by studying the evolution of domains in different microstructure patterns and under different loading directions and strain rates.
