Dear Colleagues,
The 18th USNC/TAM Congress to be held June 5-9, 2018 in Chicago. We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to a symposium named 321: Mechanics in Nano- And Micro-Scale Material Design: Synthesis, Experiments, Theory and Simulation.
Two PhD openings are available for Fall 2018 (flexible start date), in the lab of Dr Bouklas at Cornell MAE.
(https://www.mae.cornell.edu/people/profile.cfm?netid=nb589)
The research topics are:
a) Mechanics/multiphysics of soft materials and bio-materials.
b) Mechanics of contractile biological cells.
The areas of interest in both topics are computational mechanics, continuum mechanics, fracture mechanics, contact mechanics and stability.
The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to announce and congratulate both Professor Dennis Kochmann, Professor of Mechanics and Materials, ETH Zürich, and Professor Liping Liu, Associate Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Rutgers University, as the joint recipients of the 2018 Thomas J. R.
In this paper, a new reaction-diffusion model, coupling the reversible electrochemical reaction, Lithium (Li) diffusion, and bending, is proposed to investigate the curvature, neutral axis movement, and stress in bilayer electrode. Bending curvature and stress, for the first time, are analytically and numerically investigated relate to both the diffusion and the reversible electrochemical reaction. The results reveal that the reversible electrochemical reaction retards the lithiation process, leading to the slowing down of diffusion process.
I would like to raise your attention to the following prestigious European fellowship opportunity:
-> 90 postdoctoral positions available for applicants from all over the world to work for two years in the best research universities in the Netherlands. Applicants choose the research topic and advisor to work on the application.

We propose a post-doctoral fellow grant on modeling and simulation of cable transport systems of 18 months in Grenoble, France at INRIA and STRMTG.

Dear Colleagues,
The 18th USNC/TAM will be hosted by Northwestern University, at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare from June 5 to June 9, 2018. The abstract submission deadline for the USNC/TAM 2018 is extended to November 25, 2017.
The Symposium 324 is about the Mechanics of Irradiated Structural Materials, as introduced at http://sites.northwestern.edu/usnctam2018/324-symposium-28-mechanics-of-irradiated-structural-materials/
Professor Kurkarni (University of Houston) has published a very nice perspective paper "Thermal Fluctuations as a Computational Microscope for Studying Crystalline Interfaces: A Mechanistic Perspective," in the December, 2017 issue of Journal of Applied Mechanics (JAM). The paper is attached.
The perspective papers in JAM are invited short papers on an emerging field in mechanics, or some important new developments in an existing field in mechanics.
