EMI, the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE, is pleased to announce the EMI 2017 Conference which will be held on June 4-7, 2017 in San Diego, California. It will be chaired by Prof. J.S. Chen and Prof. Yuri Bazilevs, both of the University of California San Diego.
We are organizing the symposium on "Computational Thermodynamics and kinetics" at the next TMS meeting to be held in San Diego from February 26- March 2, 2017.
Topics of choice for this year include, but are not limited to:
Advancements in computational techniques in thermodynamics and kinetics of defects, phase transformations, and microstructural evolution.

I am Fan Xie, a PhD in solid mechanics, Beihang University.
I am looking for a postdoctoral position in computational mechanics (MDs, FEM etc.) now. I have published 9 journal papers and 2 conference papers. I deeply understand the modeling of nano materials and nanocomposites (fiber reinforced, IPCs or bicontinuous composites) based on either Molecular Dynamics simulation (MDs) or FEM. And I am a hard working person as a Chinese student who is crazy about science.
Dear colleagues,
on behalf of the course organizer, I would like to bring to your attention to the advanced course on Modeling of localized inelastic deformation that will be taught by Milan Jirásek in Prague, Czech Republic on 19-23 September 2016.
RVE analysis becomes a routine exercise in material modeling. Usually it is carried out using finite element codes such as ABAQUS or ANSYS. The main thing one should pay attention is to applying the right boundary conditions. It is settled that periodic boundary conditions are the preferred boundary conditions to be applied. The BCs are that u_i-\epsilon_{ij}x_j should be equal on the corresponding edges. This type of boundary conditions can be applied using coupled equations constraints. This requires that one creates a mesh with corresponding nodes on periodic edges.
The effects of blast loading on structures can be very dangerous: damages and failures are expected with serious threats to structural safety and human life. Materials stresses and strains are often pushed to the limit and the modelling of these phenomena can be very complex. In order to design blast-resistant structures it is very important to determine what are the key parameters of this problem.
