There have been several posts recently discussing new directions in computational mechanics. Here is a review article that appeared recently that may be of interest.
Large-scale hierarchical molecular modeling of nanostructured biological materials
Dear all,
I just joined this group last week. And, I'd like to share some of reading material that I found regarding research directions in computational mechanics. The paper was published in 2003, written by Tinsley Oden, Belytschko, Babuska and Hughes. It's entitled "Research Directions in Computational Mechanics" (Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 192, pp 913-922, 2003). They outlined six areas with significant research opportunities in CM:

Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the ICCES08( International Conference on
Computational and Experimental Engineering & Sciences) will be held at the
Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, in Honolulu, Hawaii, during 17-22 March
2008.
Deadlines:
. 1 Oct 2007: Deadline for Mini-symposia proposals (email: icces [at] icces.org (icces[at]icces[dot]org)).
. 1 Oct 2007: Start abstract submission (http://www.icces.org).
. 15 Dec 2007: Deadline for abstract submission.
. 20 Dec 2007: End of abstract selection.
. 1 Jan 2008: Start early registration & hotel reservation (at discounted
rates).
. 15 Jan 2008: Deadline for early registration.
. 1 Feb 2008: Deadline for final 6-page paper submission to:
http://submission.techscience.com/icces08.
. 1 Feb 2008: Technical program announcement.
. 1 Mar 2008: Deadline for the regular registration.
The conference hotel is in a tourist area of the Waikiki Beach in Honolulu.
For those that make reservations by 1 January 2008, the hotel offers a
substantially discounted rate of about US$149/night (single or double
occupancy) (The room rates in Honolulu are normally about $265/night in
Waikiki). The conference deadlines above have been chosen to facilitate
inexpensive hotel accommodations for ALL the participants at the conference
hotel. Further details of ICCES08 will be posted continually at
http://www.icces.org. To ensure that you receive further e-mails about
ICCES08, please "sign up" at http://www.icces.org
If you are interested in hosting a mini-symposium at ICCES08, please send
us an email (icces [at] icces.org):
. The title of the Symposium,
. A brief description of the Symposium
. A list of potential participants whom you plan to invite( as comprehensive
as possible)
Each presentation at ICCES08 will be of 20 minutes duration (including
discussions). Keynote and Plenary Lectures will be of longer duration.
At ICCES08, very strict procedures will be implemented, to prevent no-shows.
Please submit an abstract, only if you intend to present the paper in
person, in good faith.
All accepted papers will appear in the open access journal, ICCES(
www.techscience.com/icces).
We look forward to welcoming you to Honolulu, Hawaii, in March 2008.

The response of low-dimensional solid objects combines geometry and physics in unusual ways, exemplified in structures of great utility such as a thin-walled tube that is ubiquitous in nature and technology.
Hi to all :
This is my first blog entry . And I have only recently started my Research work (just 2 months) .So please bear with me my lack of thorough knowledge in the topic .
What I want to know is "what is the impact of the papers on Asynchronous Variational Integrators and Variational Integrators (published in 2003) ?" I mean what I was wondering is given that they have so many beneficial properties , how many researcher have actually started using this technique of time integration in their research .
