« Instabilities in Solids and Structures » ASME-International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (Portland, Nov 2020)

We, the AMD IiSS Technical Committee organizers, are pleased to continue our long-standing tradition of arranging a symposium on « Instabilities in Solids and Structures » at the annual ASME-International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE).  The Congress this year will be held in Portland, Oregon during the period of November 15-19, 2020.  Contributions on instability in both material and structural systems are welcome.  As you are aware, this is a major mechanical engineering meeting with upwards of 2,000 international participants.  Our Technical Committee has participated with success in the Congress since 1994 and we certainly would like to keep up this tradition.

Our symposium accepts ONLY « Presentation Only » abstracts and the « Presentation Only Abstract Submission » deadline this year is July 13, 2020.
(This is a hard deadline; do not expect an extension.)

Upload your abstract at your earliest convenience; the symposium is in the Track 12 « Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids » as Topic « 12-37 Instabilities in Solids and Structures« 

This year, we are pleased to continue our collaboration with the ASME AMD Technical Committee on Soft Matter.  If you work on problems in this area that include instabilities, we encourage you to submit an abstract.

Please let us know by return e-mail if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Ryan S. Elliott

Workshop « origami-based robots » – June 4, 2020 Paris- IEEE ICRA Conference

Topics : Workshop on origami-based robots – June 4, 2020 – IEEE ICRA Conference
The largest robotics meeting in the world will welcome a one-day workshop on origami-based robots on June 4, 2020 in Paris.

The workshop will be a unique chance to introduce in-depth discussions on origami-based design into IEEE ICRA conference. To stimulate exchanges, several communities will be gathered from the fields of micro-nano robotics, mechanism design and also soft robotics. It will be a pleasure to have you participating in this workshop, for which ten internationally-renowned speakers are already confirmed. Please visit the workshop website for all details: http://www.origabot.cnrs.fr/workshop-icra-2020/

We encourage participants to present related work in order to foster discussions. Two formats are possible: 2-page abstract submission for a poster presentation, or a ½-page description with picture of innovative origami-based structures or mechanisms, for researchers who would like to come with prototypes. Deadline for submissions: April 27, 2020 (Send your files to: stephane.viollet@univ-amu.fr).

All participants are expected to register specifically here:
