Maurice Jaswon: link to a biographical note

Submitted by Mogadalai Gururajan on

I recently posted a C code for the solution of Eshelby problem based on the paper by Jaswon and Bhargava.

In the last couple of days, I learnt that Jaswon also worked with Cottrell on solute drag and is one of the pioneers of boundary element method. The following paper by Martin gives a nice introduction to Jaswon and his work -- along with a complete listing of Jaswon's papers. There is also a lovely photograph of Jaswon with R D Bhargava in the paper and the first few references are also a good place for those who want to understand the history of boundary element method.

Submitted by Teng Li on

Jie Yin of North Carolina State University will be the next Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. The Journal Club was initiated in January 2007, soon after the launch of iMechanica. It has quickly grown into a flagship feature of iMechanica, epitomizing the vibrant topics and dynamic researchers at the frontier of mechanics.

(Deadline Nov 30th, 2020) Call for Nominations for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty

Submitted by Pradeep Sharma on

It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
