Congradulations to Professor Yonggang Huang to receive 2013 ASME Daniel C. Drucker Medal for his "fundamental and applied contributions to mechanics of materials and structures across multiple scales." The Daniel C. Drucker medal was established in 1997 and is conferred in recognition of distinguished contributions to the field of applied mechanics and mechanical engineering through research, teaching and service to the community over a substantial period of time. 

Here is a list of DANIEL C. DRUCKER MEDALISTS

Hi Everyone:

We wanted to make sure everyone knew about this symposium, tucked away under the nanotechnology category, for the fall 2013 MRS meeting. Abstracts are due soon. We expect a heavy mechanics component for this symposium.

The School of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics, Ningbo University, is looking for cadidates for all subjects in the broad field of mechanical engineering and mechanics.  In addition to traditional field of impact and shock waves, piezoelectric devices, material durability, and metal forming, the school are also initiating new directions like vechicle engineering, fluid mechanics, occean engineering, and other related subjects.

Positions in ALL ranks are available.  Currently we are taking applications for 2014 school year.

Paper on the mechanics of motility of a family of unicellular organisms called euglenids

Dear colleagues,



I wanted to draw your attention to a paper published last year in PNAS



http://www.pnas.org/content/109/44/17874



where we analyze physical aspects of how euglenoids move

PhD Studentship@University of Southampton, UK - Wet Adhesive Poro-Viscoelastic Contact Along Human Skin Surface

PhD studies in tribology / contact mechanics - Skin Tribology

Skin, the largest organ of the human body, acts as a
multi-functional biophysical interface to the external environment. The serial
interfacial phenomena along the skin/environment conjunction, particularly when
interacting with cosmetic and consumer goods (e.g. razor and shave preparation)
is determined by the interplay between the chemical structure and arrangement
of stratum corneum lipids,
environmental factors (e.g. hydration level) and also the physical
characteristics of skin surface relief. Therefore, the chemical and biophysical
properties of the stratum corneum
need to be considered jointly to approach the complexity of skin tribo-physics.
These technical challenges present outstanding opportunities for high quality
