SES 2007 Symposium on Mechanics of Thin Films and Layered Materials
Prof. Philippe Geubelle, Dr. Rajesh Kitey and I are organizing a symposium on Mechanics of Thin Films and Layered Materials at 2007 Annual Meeting of the Society for Engineering Science, Texas A&M University, October 21-24, 2007.
The abstract deadline has been extended until June 30, 2007. Abstracts should prepared according to the instructions posted on the web at http://ses2007.tamu.edu/abstract.php.
Crystal Plasticity
Dear Mechanicians,
Recently I have seen many researches on the crystal plasticity, Could someone tell me some basic difference between classic plasticity and crystal plasticity ?! and what is the crystal plasticity theory for ?
Thank you very much
Best Regards
An interesting coupling
A video that shows how some common couplings work. It's an advertisement but interesting nevertheless. Does anyone know how the Thomson coupling works and what its main drawbacks are? It seems a bit complex and will probably have a higher rate of failure than simpler geometries - but maybe not?

Minutes of iMechanica get-together at McMat 2007
On 6 June 2007, about 50 mechanicians attended a special session at the McMat 2007, "iMechanica.org get together". The attendees of this special session came from various job sectors, such as academia, industry as well as government agencies. The session was chaired by K. Ravi-Chander and Rui Huang, who also served in the organizing committee of McMat 2007.
Biot Medal to Dr. James R. Rice
The 2007 Maurice A. Biot Medal for Poromechanics has been awarded during the ASCE Engineering Mechanics Conference held at Virginia Tech last Tuesday.
The 2007 Biot Medal winner is Dr. James R. Rice of Harvard University.
