Dear Colleagues,
I would like to kindly introduce you the ICMRA 2018 - International Conference on Mechatronics, Robotics & Automation
which will take place at Hefei University of Technology,Anhui, China-Hefei during May 18-21.
Please also kindly find the attached document named as ICMRA - CFP and this document consists of the detailed
information about the ICMRA 2018.
This video explains the very fundamental points with regard to plasticity theory. It covers the following -
1) Why study plasticity ?
2) Additive decomposition of strain
3) stress and strength
4) Yield condition , flow rule & hardening rule

Applications are invited for an immediate postdoctoral position within the Marine Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence at the University of New Brunswick. The candidate will perform research in the area of materials characterization of additively manufactured metals (aluminum or steels) developed through powder bed fusion techniques. The candidate will use several experimental techniques to characterize the 3D printed metals such as OM, SEM, EBSD measurements, fractography, and TEM.
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow research position at the Center for Material Forming at Mines ParisTech. The Fellow will focus on computational modeling of discontinuous fibers composites. Code writing ability and strong background in mechanics are required. Applicants must hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related discipline.
In the next months, we have a couple of openings for Postdoctoral fellows and PhD students in Computational Materials Science. If you are interested and at the 2017 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston (Nov 25th - Dec. 2nd) , hit me up!
Our recent review paper on how origami and kirigami techniques that could be used to create curved geometries has been just publised online. It is available as an open access article, which is why I am posting it here. We have also included some beautiful photos of our hand-folded origami and kirigami.

“Metamaterials” are the fabled materials exhibiting properties and functionalities that defy expectations. Or at least that's how I have always defined them to myself. These first emerged on the scientific scene in the nineties; or perhaps that is when an extensive flurry of activities on this subject can be traced to. The initial focus was on designing (what appeared to me as) composites with a specific geometrical inner structure that allowed the emergence of electromagnetic properties not typically seen in nature; such as negative refractive index.
The Institute of Mechanical Engineering is soliciting applications for a faculty position at the level of tenure-track assistant professor in Thermal Sciences.
The Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University (http://ee.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in the broadly defined field of electrical and computer engineering. The department is especially interested in candidates in robotics, autonomous systems, embedded systems, control, optimization, and machine learning.
Connective tissue mechanics is highly non-linear, exhibits a strong Poisson effect and is associated with significant collagen fiber re-arrangement. Although the general features of the stress-strain behavior in tension and compression and under uniaxial, biaxial and shear loading have been discussed extensively, especially from the macroscopic perspective, the Poisson effect and the kinematics of filaments have received less attention. In general, the relationship between the microscopic fiber network mechanics and the macroscopic experimental observations remains poorly defined.
