Minisymposium on Nano and Biomechanics at 2014 USNCTAM

Submitted by Harold S. Park on

Dear Mechanics Colleagues:

A pleasant reminder that we invite you to submit an abstract to a minisymposium on "Nano and Bio
Mechanics" for the 2014 USNCTAM, June 15-20, 2014, to be held at
Michigan State University. This minisymposium will focus on the
development and application of

both experimental techniques and computational models and methods to

problems of interest in the fields of nano and bio mechanics. Topics of

interest will include, but are not limited to:

  1. Deformation and fracture mechanisms in nano and bio materials.
  2. Coupling of physics (electromechanical, thermomechanical) in bio and nano materials.
  3. Development and application of atomistic and multiscale models for bio and nanostructures.
  4. Mechanics and Physics of Biological Cells.
  5. Cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions.
  6. Advances in experimental techniques for biomechanical testing across the micro and millimeter scales.

Abstract submission can be done online here:  https://www.egr.msu.edu/conference/

The "Nano and Biomechanics" minisymposium is being held under the
"Biomechanics" technical track.  Abstracts are due by December 1, 2013.

With best regards, the organizers:

Harold Park
