Ecole « Flowing Matter” (CISM du 25 au 29 septembre 2017 )

Benjamin Dollet rappelle l’école « Flowing Matter » co-organisée avec Bernhard Mehlig au CISM du 25 au 29 septembre prochain, avec l’aide financière du program COST. La date limite d’inscription est le 25 juillet 2017.

Au programme :

– low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics and suspension rheology (E. Guazzelli),

– active matter (R. Golestanian),

– mechanics of glassy systems (K. Martens),

– rheology of foams and Brownian suspensions (B. Dollet),

– particles in turbulence (B. Mehlig)

The Soft Materials Mechanics Technical Committee would like to remind you that JULY 19^th is the deadline for presentation only abstract submission. The ASME will not extend this deadline!

webpage: https://www.asme.org/events/imece

Please consider submitting abstract to “Mechanics of Solids, Structures, and Fluids” Track (12), Topic 12-22, “Mechanics of Soft Materials”

We are excited to host sessions related to the following topics:

• Active Materials
• Mechano-Chemistry
• Mechano-Biology
• Gels
• Mechanical Characterization
• Degradation and Failure
• Adhesion
• Computational Methods
• Instabilities (specific instructions are below)
• 3D Printing of Soft Materials

We ask that all abstracts include a sentence at the end that indicates which session the abstract is intended for. For example, if you would like to present in the “3D Printing in Soft Materials” session please include the following direction at the end of your abstract, “This abstract is intended for the 3D Printed Soft Materials session.”

Abstracts focusing on Instabilities of Soft Materials should be submitted to topic 12-11: “Instabilities in Soft Matter Solids and Structures” (co-sponsored with the Instabilities TC).

The soft materials mechanics committee will participate in the “Congress-wide Symposium on Additive Manufacturing” by hosting sessions on the “3D printing of soft materials”.

Please email us with any questions or specific requests that you have.

Have a nice summer, and we will see you in Tampa!

The ASME Technical Committee on Soft Materials Mechanics

Dear Colleague:

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 & Exposition (IMEC&E).  The Congress will be held in Tampa, Florida during the period of November 3–9, 2017.  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.

It is now time to solicit submission of abstracts for our sessions! Participation requires just the submission of an abstract by **July 19, 2017**. (This is a hard deadline; do not expect an extension.)

Upload your abstract at your earliest convenience;  the symposium is in the

Track « Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids » as Topic « 12-10 Instabilities in Solids and Structures »

This year, we are pleased to continue our collaboration with the ASME AMD Technical Committee on Soft Matter, to co-sponsor a special symposium on instabilities in soft matter.  If you work in this area, we encourage you to upload your abstract to the

Track « Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids » as Topic « 12-11 Instabilities in Soft Matter Solids and Structures »

Sincerely,

Ryan S. Elliott, Edmundo Corona
