39th SOLID MECHANICS CONFERENCE
1-5 SEPTEMBER 2014,
ZAKOPANE, POLAND
Marian Smoluchowski (1872-1917)
"All people, who personally knew Smoluchowski closer, loved in him not only a brilliant researcher, but also a noble, sensitive and friendly man".
Albert Einstein
About Conference
The Solid Mechanics Conferences have been organized by the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research since 1953. The Conferences have maintained high scientific standard and served as a forum for the exchange of ideas and research information. Traditionally, invited lectures have been presented by outstanding researchers at these Conferences. The aim of the 39th Solid Mechanics Conference is to bring together researchers from different countries and to create for them the possibility for the presentation and discussion of scientific results from a wide area of solid mechanics, including the topics:
- biomechanics
- computational aspects of mechanics
- continuum mechanics, elasticity and plasticity
- coupled problems and field theories of solids
- dynamics of solids and structures
- experimental mechanics
- fracture, damage and fatigue
- geomechanics
- interfaces, thin layers and contact mechanics
- mechanics of composites, porous media
- micromechanics and thermodynamics of materials
- nonlinear and stochastic dynamics
- optimization, sensitivity and realiability analysis
- phase transitions and microstructures
- shells and plates
- smart materials and structures
- structural mechanics.
Oral and poster sessions are planned. The official language of the Conference is English.
