Greetings everybody
Almost everything is in the title, here are some extra details. The salient point is that the paper submission is now open, and we warmly encourage you to have students and colleagues attend the conference by submitting new (or delayed) papers.
The deadline for submission is the 15th of April.
The conference FIV2022 is being organised in Palaiseau (that is close to Paris) on July 5-8 2022. The conference was historically about flow-induced vibration problems in industry but has since evolved into a wider scope of subjects in fluid-structure interaction.
Don't hesitate to forward it to people you might think of and that could be interested.
Have a good week.

We would like to invite you to participate in the Mini-Symposium on "Mechanics and Physics of Solids and Structures" within "ESMC2018 - 10th European Solid Mechanics Conference" in Bologna (Italy), July 2-6, 2018.
The EXTENDED deadline for abstract submission is December 10, 2017.

Description of the Mini-symposium "Mechanics and Physics of Solids and Structures"

The past years have seen a renewed interest in the physics community for solid mechanics. Physicists, mainly condensed matter physicists, have started to revisit problems of mechanics and materials, thought to be classical by engineers and mechanicians. This renewed interest brought a research stimulus in the solid mechanics community. An example can be found in the theme of elastic structures where buckling, once thought as something to avoid, is now used to design and optimize systems: soft structures working in the post-critical regime are bringing new functionalities while still exhibiting excellent mechanical performances. Other examples can be found in biomechanics, the interplay between fluid and solids, growth and form, fracture mechanics.
The goal of this mini-symposium is to bring the solid mechanics and physics communities together for exchange of ideas, cross-fertilization, and new collaborations. We believe each community has its own tools and paradigms to bring: statistical physics on one side, and continuum mechanics on the other for example. We believe the emerging mechanics-physics community will be gathered around common tools (applied mathematics, nonlinear dynamics, proof-of-concept experiments, …) rather than a precise theme.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) (www.urv.cat) in Tarragona (Spain), is looking for several enthusiastic research students with a strong interest in fluid dynamics. Successful candidates will join a small but very active multidisciplinary team, working in fluid-structure interaction problems. The research will be mainly experimental and focused in the area of fluid structure interaction with application to several engineering problems. The ongoing projects the candidates will join are: flow-induced vibrations in offshore structures; flow induced vibrations offshore energy generation devices; and fluid-structure interactions in bioinspired design.The research studentships will cover URV´s PhD registration fees plus a monthly stipend, equivalent to those granted by the Spanish Ministry of Science (≈1000 € net/month during the first two years and slightly higher the last two). Experimental work will be mainly carried out at the department, but there are also possibilities to participate in several planned experimental campaigns involving large scale facilities. There is also the possibility to use and develop prediction tools. CANDIDATES: Successful candidates must hold a good first degree in Engineering (equivalent to a MEng/MSc, 4 or 5 years course), preferably in Mechanical, Industrial, Aeronautical or Civil Engineering. Preference will be given to candidates able to demonstrate the following desired skills:- Matlab, C/C++, FORTRAN or other scientific programming language.- LabVIEW or other instrumentation oriented programming language.- Mechanical engineering design tools such as Pro/Engineer, Solidworks…- Finite Element packages such as ANSYS, ABAQUS,…- Experience with the use of optical measurement techniques, especially PIV.APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Interested candidates should send the following documents, in English or Spanish, to Francisco J Huera-Huarte (francisco.huera@urv.cat). - Complete CV (with photography)- List of subjects and grades of first degree.- Motivation letter (max. 500 words)- Name and contact details of 2 academic referees.To avoid problems with the Spam filters, include in the SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL the following: URV 2009-2 PhD studentships, otherwise application will not be processed. Candidates must be able to start in January 2010.
