conference

Dear Colleagues,

We would
like to bring your attention to the symposium "Elasticity,
Plasticity, and Multiphysics of Hierarchical Materials: Mechanisms to
Mechanics" at the 17th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical &
Applied Mechanics, to be held June 15-20, 2014 at Michigan State
University.  A detailed description of the symposium can be
found below, and abstracts (due Dec 1, 2013) can be submitted at:

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to welcome you to submit an
abstract for the special session No. 24 on "Numerical and experimental research on the
durability of photovoltaic modules" organized by Dr.-Ing.
José Reinoso, Prof. Dr. Ing. Marco Paggi and Dr. Felix Haase in the framework
of the 1st International Symposium on Energy Challenges and Mechanics (8-10
July 2014, Aberdeen, Scotland).

More information on the topic of the special
session can be found here:

The 5^th International Conference on Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues is now a month away. If you would like to attend, but have not registered yet, please do so now. Go to http://www.mechanicsofbiomaterials.com/conference-register.html

Present your research at ICoBT2014, 11-14 May 2014, Toronto, Canada. Oral and poster abstracts are invited on the following topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system by 13 December 2013.

The first International Symposium on Energy Challenges and Mechanics will take place at Aberdeen, Scotland, UK, on 8-10 July 2014. This symposium is about energy challenges and roles of mechanics as a means for seeking solutions, involving multiple disciplines in technology, science and management. The topics cover both sides; we will look at applications in various energy resources including fossil fuels, and many different forms of renewable energy.
