The 2014 Nathan M. Newmark Medal was awarded to Professor Herbert A. Mang at the annual ASCE Structures Conference, which took place in Boston, April 3–5, 2014. Professor Mang was awarded the Newmark Medal for his outstanding research contributions in the area of nonlinear continuum and computational mechanics that clarified the cause of collapse of important concrete structures and quantified the influence of the initial post buckling behavior of metallic structures.
In selecting Herbert Mang for this award, the committee particularly noted his initiating ground-breaking new research in computational structural stability.
To mark this very special award, we have put together a Virtual Special Issue consisting of the seminal research papers Professor Mang published relating to his award. The papers published in Elsevier journals will be available freely for the next 12 months.

The 8th European Conference on Constitutive Models for Rubbers (ECCMR VIII) will be held at Tecnun/CEIT (San Sebastian, Spain) between June 25th and June 28th, 2013.
ECCMR is the premier rubber research and technology event worldwide, in a series of biennial conferences. The previous seven conferences (Vienna 1999, Hannover 2001, London 2003, Stockholm 2005, Paris 2007, Dresden 2009 and Dublin 2011) were highly successful and attracted an increasing number of participants for a wide variety of disciplines in academia and industry in the field of rubber technology.
The conference is aimed at bringing together specialists in research across all disciplines associated with elastomers and provides the opportunity to discuss advances in rubber mechanics. The conference topics cover all aspects of rubber technology, such us:
