The attached tutorial paper is yet unpublished but I am posting a pre-print since several students I know have found it to be a useful pedagogical resource. You may also access the document on arXiv.
Here is the abstract.
Two Ph.D. positions are available at the Univ. of Parma – Italy, for Chinese CSC supported students. The topic will be the mechanical modeling of advanced and responsive materials and additive manufacturing modeling, starting from Nov. 2021.
Dear Friends - UPenn has great research in mechanics. If you know people interested in pursuing a PhD, please share this announcement. Thank you! Rob

Virtual PhD Open House on Friday, November 6, 2020
We have an open PhD position in the areas of perception, planning, and control of autonomous systems in DSIM lab. Highly motivated applicants with prior experience in robotics, control and/or machine learning and strong programming skills and mathematical background are encouraged to apply. Applicants should have B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
Many of us will be teaching remotely soon. I wonder what is most effective when it comes to mechanics.
In our department we have been having meetings to help professors figure out what is the approach to the online teaching modality. There have been lots of suggestions:
ANSYS, Inc. has been investing time and resources into their knowledge resources and academic program and their recent contribution to the community is the "Ansys Innovation Courses". These are on-demand physics-based courses that are free for everyone which empowers students and professionals to visualize, reinforce, and rapidly master key physics concepts, with the help of simulations.
I would like to announce two new books that Prof. Lallit Anand and I have just published on continuum mechanics of solids.
Dear All,
My student is making YouTube videos on Atomistic Modeling.

Your suggestions and feedback will make the videos better.
Thanks.
We have edited a new book on 2D materials. Thanks to all the authors for their contribution.
