I am co-organizing a workshop entitled «Recent Trends in Predicting and Monitoring the Integrity of Composites (COMINT)» with Profs. Gilles Lubineau and Raul Tempone at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and Prof. John Botsis at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). The aim of the workshop is to advance research on integrity prediction and monitoring of composites structures and will be held at KAUST on June 1st and 2nd 2015.
Symposium Title: “Mechanics & Physics of Soft Materials”
Organizers: Oscar Lopez-Pamies, Xuanhe Zhao, Yuhang Hu & Stephan Rudykh
Sessions: 4
The 52th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science will be held at Texas A&M University, October 26 - 28, 2015. For this occasion we are organizing a symposium on architectured materials. This symposium will cover research on the structure, mechanics, design, fabrication and mechanical performance of all categories of architectured materials including but not limited to lattice materials, metamaterials, topologically interlocked materials and bio-inspired materials.
It is with great sorrow that I heard that our colleague from tel Aviv University, Prof. Y. Benveniste passed away recently. This is a great loss for the Israeli Mechanics Community in particular and for the community in general. I am sure he will be remembered as an exceptional scientist and a very modest and kind person.
He will be missed.
To his family, I adress my sincere condolences
D. Rittel
Dear Colleagues:
I thought the following recent paper by Prof. Neff may be of interest to some of you.
http://arxiv.org/abs/1505.02203
This paper discusses the natural appearance of the Hencky-logarithmic strain tensor together with the Hencky strain energy, which can be motivated from some purely geometrical (kinematical) arguments based on the geodesic distance on the general linear group of all invertible tensors GL(n).
On behalf of the International Institute for Multifunctional Materials for Energy Conversion (IIMEC) and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M, we would like to announce the 4th Summer School on Computational Materials Science Across Scales. The 2015 IIMEC Summer School will be held from July 20–31, 2015 on the Texas A&M University campus in College Station, Texas.
Hello there!
I was thinking to use inverse distance interpolation technique as a finite element shape function. However, am not sure about its performance for finite element method, inverse distance interpolation was originally developed for geographic information system.
can anyone help me please?
thanks in advance!
The Automated Computational Mechanics Laboratory (ACML) at The Ohio State University has an immediate opening for a one-year postdoctoral research associate position. The project is aimed at the application of the finite element method for simulating and optimizing the multiphysics laser ablation process in aircrafts. The optimization process involves characterizing the optimal laser parameters (e.g., peak power, fluence, intensity, etc.) to maximize the coating removal efficiency while minimizing damage to the substrate material.
