Some ideas for a possible new journal
Inspired by the discussion with Mike Ciavarella on http://imechanica.org/node/22012, I am thinking about a journal with the following attributes:

Celia Reina and Yihui Zhang are the recipients of the 2017 Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty
It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2017 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), G.
PhD/post-doc on development of complex geometry reduced order models for multi-scale permeability simulation
This research focuses on the development of model order reduction methods to speed up the (repeated) multiscale prediction of permeability in composite manufacturing processes. The permeability of a composite material has a very large impact on the production process of components. It is therefore required to have an accurate knowledge and understanding of the permeability, which depends on the micro- and meso-scale geometry, in order to have a robust manufacturing process.
An asymptotic numerical method for continuation of spatial equilibria of special Cosserat rods
We present an efficient numerical scheme based on asymptotic numerical method for continuation of spatial equilibria of special Cosserat rods. Using quaternions to represent rotation, the equations of static equilibria of special Cosserat rods are posed as a system of thirteen first order ordinary differential equations having cubic nonlinearity. The derivatives in these equations are further discretized to yield a system of cubic polynomial equations.
Position in Thermoplastic Composite Materials Processing at the University of South Carolina
Applications are invited for a graduate studentship position in Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina, focused on the thermoplastic composite material induction welding process. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team of faculty and researchers at the McNAIR Center for Aerospace Innovation and Research. The research involves experimental processing of thermoplastic induction welding to establish heat generation, heat transfer and residual stresses in thermoplastic composites.
