Beta-sheet protein structures and domains are widely found in biological materials such as silk. These assemblies play amajor role in the extraordinary strength and unique properties of biomaterials. In our new work, we employ simple Langevin-based models to investigate the behavior and the collapse of these structures.

1. Introduction
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Conference Chair (Prof. K.M. Liew), I am very pleased to announce the 3rd International Conference on Modeling in Mechanics and Materials will be held from 4 - 6 August 2020 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Positions are available in Dr. Jason Mayeur's research group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Preferred candidates will have earned an MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field, and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Ideal candidates will also have prior experience in finite element modeling and computer programming.
Applicants should directly contact Dr. Mayeur:

An immediate Ph.D. position is available in the Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of materials synthesis. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related fields (applicants with an MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language is a plus.
