Rui Rui Huang and I have just completed a draft of a textbook titled— Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Polymers The book is limited to reversible thermodynamic processes of polymer networks. We would value your comments. Please kindly retweet. docs.google.com/document/d/1BW…

Congratulations, Nanshu Lu @ UT-Austin !!!

The Society for Experimental Mechanics 2024 Annual Conference is almost here! I'm especially excited about the new Empower Hour networking event that I helped to organize happening on Wednesday evening. Women in the SEM community, check your email for details and see you there!

Our latest publication presents a methodology to answer the fundamental question of quantifying the information content of mechanical test specimens for inverse learning of constitutive models. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In this #MostPopular #EML paper, the researchers attempted to bring together the concept of mechanical metamaterials into adhesive bonding technology and answer the question “can mechanical metamaterials replace adhesives?”. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The June 2024 iMechanica Journal Club features "Material strength under high dynamic pressures", led by Suraj Ravindran from the University of Minnesota. You are encouraged to read the post and contribute to the discussion by leaving a comment on the iMechanica page.

We’re looking for a postdoc to lead a NIH-funded project in the area of RNA delivery. Come join us at UT Austin! Please share! Texas Engineering UT Austin

Our group has an opening for a postdoctoral position available immediately, working on the computational mechanics of (meta)materials (experimental experience also appreciated). Please see post for more info, and please share with potential candidates.

Imagine an olympic diver but it's an air jet! Zou et al. explore the dynamics of air jet cavities during water entry! They reveal unique cavity behaviors, the impact of dual Froude numbers, and the absence of surface seals. More @ go.aps.org/4gLQGdZ #fluiddynamics

Santa definitely feeling some things right about now

Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: ow.ly/5vat50UwZAo

[1/6] Excited to share our latest research featured on the Science cover! Meet PAMs (Polycatenated Architected Materials)—a new class of 3D-architected materials that challenge traditional boundaries between solids and granular matter. Read our paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
