Dear colleagues,

Here is our recently published review article about hydrogel adhesion. Hydrogel adhesion has undergone transformative advances in the last few years. This review article describes these advances, and outlooks future opportunities.

Title: Hydrogel Adhesion: A Supramolecular Synergy of Chemistry, Topology, and Mechanics

Authors: Jiawei Yang, Ruobing Bai, Baohong Chen, Zhigang Suo*

Abstract

I would like to share the codes required to perform an end-to-end molecular dynamics simulation, which will be useful to the novice researchers in the filed of atomistic simulations. I focus on simulating uniaxial tensile tests of a graphene sample in the LAMMPS molecular dynamics simulator, and I have attached two MATLAB scripts to create the input files for LAMMPS and to extract data from the LAMMPS output file.

 Dear Colleagues, 

Please consider submitting your abstract to our mini-symposium on "Mechanics of deformable atomically-thin materials (Symposium 8.2)" at the 56th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES), Washington University in St. Louis, October 13-15, 2019. 

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada invites outstanding applicants for a full-time tenured or tenure-tracked position at the rank of Assistant/Associate Professor in Sustainable Structural Materials. The successful candidate is expected to have demonstrated a commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level, and research excellence or potential in one of the following disciplines:

-Innovative structural products and systems made with sustainable materials

We encourage you to contribute an abstract to the symposium "Multiscale mechanics of granular media" (Symposium 6.2) at the 56th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) to be held on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis, October 13-15, 2019. The symposium description may be found below. For further details and to submit an abstract, please see the meeting website.

The abstract submission deadline is April 30, 2019.

It would be great to see you there!

Join this short webinar to learn about solutions to typical bottlenecks for medical device design, from patient-specific modelling to pre-surgical planning. We will cover the ways in which Simpleware software solves common medical device design challenges, with topics including: 

• Brief overview of the key features of Simpleware software

• Benefits of CE-marking and FDA 510(k) clearance in Simpleware software

• Case studies and industry workflows

Postdoc positions are available in the group of Prof. JG Zhu at Jiangsu University, China. Those possessing PhDs in the area of solid mechanics and material science are sought. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in experimental mechanics, composite materials and structures, optical measurement etc. Applicants should submit a full curriculum vitae to zhujg [at] ujs.edu.cn (zhujg[at]ujs[dot]edu[dot]cn) .
