conference

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the Symposium on "Mechanics and Characterization of Micro/nanoporous Materials and Applications in Energy and Environments" at the 2015 SES meeting to be held at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, October 25-28, 2015.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

--Mechanics and design of micro/nanoporous materials

--Interface mechanics of functionalized micro/nanoporous materials

--Micro/nanoporous materials for energy storage and environmental purification

Dear Colleagues:

Please, consider to attend the symposium entitled "Computational Materials with Emphasis on Phase Transformation" organized for the occasion of the 52nd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES). The SES meeting will be held at Texas A&M University, October 26 - 28, 2015 (http://ses-2015.org/).

We are pleased to announce a 4-day CECAM/Psi-k Workshop on

"Chemical and structural transformations in materials under mechanical load",

 that will take place at the EPFL campus in Lausanne from Tuesday 1st September to Friday 4th September 2015.

The focus of the workshop will be on materials’ structural and chemical transformations that are caused by external loads and in turn determine the materials macroscopic mechanical response. Particular attention will be devoted to the following thematic areas:

This is just a reminder that the deadline for submitting your abstract to the ICMOBT Conference is now only a month away.
Submit your abstract NOW! http://www.mechanicsofbiomaterials.com/submit-abstract.asp

Oral and poster abstracts are invited on the following topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system by 26 June 2015. For a more detailed list of topics, please check the conference website.

1. Biological Materials
2. Biomaterials
3. Bioinspired Materials

Dear Colleagues:

We are pleased to announce a mini-symposium on Fracture Mechanics at the 52^nd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science, to be held at the Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, October 26-28, 2015.

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”
