The The Preliminary Program is now ready here on the website
You can still registrer for the conference.
We send out invitations directly to those of you who have registrered so that you can join our LinkedIn Group. Here you can post a discussion, find new connections and start getting ready for the ICCM20. Hope to see you in Copenhagen soon!
The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman, is looking for new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing high-quality research on engineering design. The research, supported by National Science Foundation and others, entails building a solid mathematical foundation, devising efficient numerical algorithms, and developing practical computational tools for stochastic design optimization. A substantial background in solid mechanics and structural optimization is a must; exposures to stochastics and probabilistic methods are highly desirable.
If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree at Iowa, please contact and send a resume to: Professor Sharif Rahman at sharif-rahman [at] uiowa.edu. Please note that we are interested in students who already have M.S. degrees in engineering or mathematics. The desired start date is Spring 2016 or sooner.

Recently we published a paper in Composite Structures. It can be freely downloaded from the link
http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1RGr0x-7hNgCX
Abstract of the article is below:
Development of advanced materials for high-end applications is driven by the increasing understanding of the dynamics and properties of defect microstructures, leading to the ability to synthesize and control materials microstructures to meet specific application demands. Dislocation motion is the fundamental physical mechanism of the plastic deformation process in crystalline materials.
Call for Papers
Hi my Friends,
I am doing abaqus run for a copper specimen under hydrostatic pressure. The magnetude of pressure is in order of several Giga Pascals. In my material definition, I have defined stress-strain flow up to strain of 0.4. But as you can see in attached photo, some elements show very large deformation (considerably larger than 0.4). Knowing that I have not defined stress strain behaviour for srain greater than 0.4, how this can be occure? Unfortunately, niether adaptive meshing nor element deletation were not eliminate this issue!!
Best Thanks

西安交通大学毕业典礼，2015.6.27
尊敬的张迈曾书记，尊敬的王树国校长，
各位嘉宾，各位老师，各位同学，各位家长，
大家上午好！
感谢学校让我作为校友在毕业典礼上致辞。年轻的同学们，我想和你们谈一个大家都关心的话题：机会。
三十年前，也就是一九八五年，我从西安交通大学本科毕业。毕业典礼上，汪应洛副校长讲话。主题是技术革命与中国振兴。当时技术革命的热点是光纤维。当时普遍认为中国比发达国家落后几十年，赶超世界是一个遥远的梦想。汪应洛教授指出，中国不需要走西方的老路，不需要先普及电话，再建设互联网。在光纤维的时代，中国与世界站在同一个起跑线上。光纤维是中国振兴的一个机会。
