Background / History

The previous Continuum Models and Discrete Systems Symposia of took place in Kielce (Poland, 1975), Mont Gabriel (Canada, 1977), Freudenstadt (Federal Republic of Germany, 1979), Stockholm (Sweden, 1981), Nottingham (United Kingdom, 1985), Dijon (France, 1989), Paderborn (Germany, 1992), Varna (Bulgaria, 1995), Istanbul (Turkey,1998) and Shoresh (Israel, 2003). The broad interdisciplinary character, the limited number of participants (not exceeding 100) and the unofficial and friendly atmosphere, made these meetings well-acknowledged places of highly fruitful contacts and exchange of ideas, methods and results. 

 

The purpose of CMDS is to bring together scientists with different backgrounds, working on continuum theories of discrete mechanical and thermodynamical systems in the fields of mathematics, theoretical and applied mechanics, physics, material science and engineering. The spirit of CMDS meetings is to stimulate an extensive and active interdisciplinary research.

General Topics of the Symposium

Based on the previous CMS meetings, the proposed main topics of the CMDS 11 Symposium are:

1.Thermodynamics, transport theory and statistical mechanics in the context of continuum modeling discrete systems

2.Continuum mechanics of complex fluids and deformable solids with microstructure

3.Fundamentals of fracture, defect dynamics, fatigue, and fracture dynamics on different microlevels

4.Dislocations and plasticity

5.New developments in continuum theory; non classical models, and discrete vs. continuum models

6.Granular materials: statics and dynamics

7.Continuum theory of living structures

8.Composite media and meta-materials

Home

Program Schedule

The scientific program will consist of General Lectures (G.L.) and Research Communications (R.C.). The General Lectures (45 min + 5min) are to introduce the most recent ideas and advances in the covered fields. The Research Communications should report on important new results and methods in these fields; they can be presented either in oral (20 min + 5min) or in a poster form. The poster sessions will  include a brief (5 min) oral presentation followed by a discussion in front of the posters. The posters will be available during the whole Symposium. All the contributions will be included in the Proceedings of the Symposium.

 

A beamer and a retroprojector will be available.

The speakers are asked to bring their laptop, or  the electronic version of their slides (on a USB key or on a CD-Rom) not later than 15 min before their session in the auditorium.

Space will be available for Posters (vertical: 160 cm x horizontal: 90 cm).
