Molecular dynamics simulations of mechanical behavior in nanoscale ceramic –metallic multilayer composites
The mechanical behavior of nanoscale ceramic–metallic (NbC/Nb) multilayer composites with dif
ferent thickness ratios is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Based on the
obtained stress–strain behavior and its dependence on temperature, strain rate, and loading path,
the flow stress for the onset of plasticity is identified and modeled based on the nucleation theory,
and the in-plane yield loci for different layer thicknesses are constructed. The results are used to

A breakthrough in Guided Wave – Excitation of shear-horizontal (SH) wave is not a problem any longer
Excitation of non-dispersive shear-horizontal (SH) waves in plates is always a challenge. Recently, we successfully excited single-mode SH0 wave in plates using a face-shear (d24) mode piezoelectric transducer. Meanwhile, the d24 mode transducer can selectively receive SH0 wave and filter Lamb waves. This work was published as a Letter in the IOP journal Smart Materials and Structures (http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0964-1726/25/11/11LT01）.
Call for Papers: The World Congress on Engineering WCE 2017
Dear Colleagues,
I am Dr. Emin Taner ELMAS from İzmir, Turkey; and I am also a member of International Association of Engineers and also a member of its Society for Mechanical Engineering with member number 164672. The IAENG has sent me a request to circulate this calls for papers to my colleagues, related to "Call for Papers: The World Congress on Engineering WCE 2017".
Therefore , I am sending you this Conference Announcement of "Call for Papers" for my colleagues who may be interested in below subjects.
Best Regards,
A perspective on the statistical mechanics of 2D materials
2D materials are fascinating for numerous reasons. Their geometrical and mechanical characteristics along with other associated physical properties have opened up fascinating new application avenues ranging from electronics, energy harvesting, biological systems among others. Due to the 2D nature of these materials, they are known for their unusual flexibility and the ability to sustain large curvature deformations. Further, they undergo noticeable thermal fluctuations at room temperature.
Call for Symposium Proposals
Dear Colleagues:
As you might have heard already, the 2017 SES Annual Conference will take place at Northeastern University, July 25-28, 2017.
