***************************************

Dear colleagues,

We will be delighted to meeting you all in Fréjus for this real-life workshop on generalized continua!

Best regards,

Scope

Mechanical architectured materials are designed to feature extreme or non-classical properties such as negative Poisson’s ratio or strain floppy modes. These emergent properties may require generalized continua such as strain-gradient or micromorphic continua in order to bring-out accurately the effective mechanical behavior.

A particular attention will be paid to non-classical up-scaling methods, new topology optimization techniques, experimental characterization of the non-classical properties and the computational techniques required by generalized continua.

Topics

 – Up-scaling methods for non-classical continua in mechanics
 – Fabrication and testing of non-classical continua
 – Topology optimization of Metamaterials
 – Computational and numerical aspects

Confirmed keynote Speakers

 – Martin Wegener, (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany)
 – Valery P. Smyshlyaev (University College London, UK)
 – Muthusamy Vanninathan (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bangalore, India)
 – François Jouve (Université Paris-Diderot, France)
