Call for Presentations
Symposium #342
“Mechanics of Flexible/Stretchable Electronics”
on
18th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
(USNC/TAM 2018)
June 4-9, 2018, Chicago, Illinois, USA
A multiscale model of porous electrodes based on the Gibbs free energy is developed, in which the Li ion diffusion, diffusion-induced stress (DIS), and polydispersities of electrode particle sizes are considered. The relationships between the size polydispersities and the concentration profiles and DIS evolution are investigated numerically. Li ion distributions are verified by in situ observation of color changes in a commercial porous graphite electrode.
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.
We are looking for serious research scientist candidate for engaging into developing a simulation platform specifically on additive manufacturing (AM).
Scope of work:
Developing pre-processing/post-processing/solver for a finite element method (FEM) simulation software specifically for AM.
Requirement:
1. PhD in mechanical engineering/computer science/software engineering/mathematics or related
2. Skilled in FEM theory, and have experience in developing linear/non-linear/thermal/structure FEM solver
The 2nd International Conference on Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids intends to concentrate on topics such as:
Optical devices and systems with tunable optical transmittance have recently attracted great interest due to their wide range of applications. However, the reported methods of realizing tunable optical transmittance still suffer from complex fabrication processes, high cost, unstable materials or low tuning range. In this study, we report a simple, cheap, and highly effective approach to achieve large tuning range of optical transmittance through harnessing surface wrinkling-cracking patterns on PDMS films.
Dear all,
Our group at Delft University is developing self-healing concrete for over a decade. Recently, they have published a combined experimental and modeling study related to designing these materials. More details are available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319542777_Experimental_and_num…

Microscopic voids can irreversibly grow into the macroscopic ones under hydrostatic tension. To explain this phenomenon it was suggested in the literature to use the asymptotic value of the hydrostatic tension in the plateau yield-like region on the stress-stretch curve obtained for the neo-Hookean model. Such an explanation has two limitations: (a) it relies on analysis of only one material model and (b) the hyperelasticity theory is used for the explanation of the failure phenomenon.
We would like to let you know that free registration for the upcoming 8th annual New England Workshop on the Mechanics of Materials and Structures (NEW.Mech 2017) is open now. The NEW.Mech 2017 is taking place at MIT on October 14, 2017.
We are excited to announce the keynote speakers for NEW.Mech 2017 are:
