EMI, the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE will hold its annual conference on June 2-4, 2011 at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. Prof. Ming L. Wang, Prof. Dionisio P. Bernal and Prof. Jerome F. Hajjar will be the Co-Chairs of the EMI 2011 Conference. For details, visit http://www.northeastern.edu/emi2011/ .
Advanced Modeling and Simulation of NEMS/MEMS and Nano/Micro-fluidic Devices
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to bring your attention to the symposium on "Advanced
Modeling and Simulation of NEMS/MEMS and Nano/Micro-fluidic Devices ". The
Symposium will be held at the University of Michigan from April 19 to April
20, 2011.
This Symposium brings together leading researchers in this field to review
recent progress and latest developments and review future challenges in
NEMS/MEMS and Micro/Nano-Fluidics.
To register, please go to:
New Chairs at University of Exeter
The University of Exeter will shortly announce several new chairs it is seeking to fill.
The chairs are full tenured chairs and in the following areas -
Cell Mechanics (two chairs, one nominally experimental and one nominally theoretical).
Structural Dynamics, possibly with an aerospace flavour.
If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact me (c.w.smith-at-exeter.ac.uk) for an informal discussion.
Regards,
Chris Smith
Looking for postdoc position in solid mechanics/biophysics
Dear everyone,
My name is Tianxiang Su. I am a 4th year PhD student in ME department in UPenn, working with Dr. Prashant Purohit. I am graduating in August and would like to look for a postdoc position in solid mechanics or biophysics. I am keeping an eye on this forum for openings myself. But if anyone happens to know some other great opportunities, please kindly let me know.
Here is my information:

Controversy: Dynamic Peierls-Nabarro equations
In 2010, Yves-Patrick Pellegrini published a paper in Physical Review B called
Dynamic Peierls-Nabarro equations for elastically isotropic crystals. with the abstract
Damage Detection of Bridge Using Vibration Analysis and Finite Element Method
Dear All,
I am currently working on a small academic project of Damage Detection of Bridge Structure using Vibration Frequency and Modes analysis and Finite Element method.
My questions are:
1) Is there any systematic approach to follow this problem?
2) How should I start making its mathematical model? I am considering a truss bridge. Is it appropriate to consider linear elastic deformation of simply supported beam at first point?
3) Is there any standard reference which can help me to construct its mathematical model?
George Bugliarello died on 18 February 2011
George Bugliarello, president emeritus and former chancellor of Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly), an acknowledged visionary who brought about significant changes in engineering and education, died after a short illness on February 18. He was trained in hydrodynamics and civil engineering. His lifelong investigation was how natural, mechanical, information and energy systems affect society.
