This work deals with the small oscillations of two circular cylinders immersed in a viscous stagnant fluid. A new theoretical approach based on an Helmholtz expansion and a bipolar coordinate system is presented to estimate the fluid forces acting on the two bodies. We show that these forces are linear combinations of the cylinder accelerations and velocities, through viscous fluid added coefficients. To assess the validity of this theory, we consider the case of two equal size cylinders, one of them being stationary while the other one is forced sinusoidally.

Greetings everybody

Almost everything is in the title, here are some extra details. The salient point is that the paper submission is now open, and we warmly encourage you to have students and colleagues attend the conference by submitting new (or delayed) papers.

The deadline for submission is the 15th of April. 

There are two open Ph.D. positions fully funded in the Multiscale Modeling of Materials and Machine Learning (M4L) Laboratory at Villanova University. The positions start as early as Fall 2022. The successful applicants will work with Dr. David Cereceda on interdisciplinary research topics that involve Computational Mechanics, Multiscale Modeling of Materials and Machine Learning.

2022 International Symposium on Structural Integrity
Changsha, China, October 14-16, 2022

The 2022 International Symposium on Structural Integrity (ISSI2022) will be held at Changsha, China, by Changsha University of Science and Technology, during October 14-16, 2022. The predecessor of the annual symposium, Fracture Mechanics series, took place each year from 2003 to 2009, was renamed as Structural Integrity series after 2010, and organized by China Structural Integrity Consortium (CSIC).

The theme of ISSI2022 is “Structural Integrity of Critical Infrastructure”. The aim of this symposium is hence to bring together people from both academic and industrial communities to exchange ideas and network friendship by discussing emerging structural integrity issues related to critical infrastructure, where papers toward are mostly welcome.

You are cordially invited to attend the symposium, to meet and network colleagues and friends and enjoy your stay in Changsha, China.

Prof. Shan-Tung Tu
Chairman of Symposium Series
East China University of Science and Technology

Prof. Jian Chen
ISSI2022 Executive Chairman

We are delighted to announce that the 24th International Conference on Wear of Materials will take place in majestic Banff, Alberta, Canada from 16-20 April 2023.

The conference will focus on advances in the understanding of both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials and will provide a forum for researchers and practicing engineers from different disciplines to interact and exchange their latest understandings. 

Dear colleagues,

it is our great pleasure to announce the third International Teaching Staff Week of the Simulation Science Center Clausthal-Göttingen. The event will take place online from March 21 to 25, 2022. During the Teaching Staff Week, lecturers from abroad will offer courses in the field of simulation for material sciences. This year, the lecturers and topics are as follows:
