Dear colleagues,

We’d like to invite you to submit an abstract (https://submissions.usnctam2022.org/) to Mini-symposium 335 « Instabilities in Solids and Structures » at the 19th US National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM), to be held in Austin, Texas from June 19 to 24, 2022. This conference will be in-person or postponed to next year if that’s not possible (i.e. no virtual format).

The deadline for abstract submission is January 31, 2022. Note that each presenter can give up to two talks.

This symposium aims to bring together researchers interested in instability phenomena, from a broad variety of application areas within the context of solids and structures, in order to exchange knowledge and ideas on theory, modeling, and experimentation in this vital and timely area of investigation. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

•    Structural instabilities
•    Instabilities and failure in composite materials
•    Theoretical developments and computational algorithms in bifurcation and stability analysis 
•    Instabilities in architected materials
•    Localization and failure in nano- and micro-structured solids
•    Surface instabilities
•    Instabilities in soft matter and active materials

Hope to see you in Austin!

Dear all,

Since 1971 it has been arranged a series of interdisciplinary graduate science schools known as “The Geilo Schools” every two years.

We are now organizing another School, 21-31 March 2022, on the topic « The Physics of Evolving Matter: Memory, Learning and Evolution« . 

Geilo is situated halfway between Oslo and Bergen and is one of Norway’s premier ski resorts with downhill and cross-country.

The Geilo Schools take place at the very pleasant Bardola hotel.

Details and registration can be found here: https://ife.no/en/event/the-geilo-school-2022-the-physics-of-evolving-matter-memory-learning-and-evolution/

I would appreciate if you could share the announcement within your academic network.

My apologies for any cross-posting.

Yours sincerely

Arne Skjeltorp           

Geilo School Director
