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)

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to bring to your attention a CISM course on

“Electro- and magneto-mechanics of soft solids: experiments, modeling and instabilities”

that is planned to take place on

June 6-10, 2022 at Udine, Italy.

As organizers of this prestigious School, it is our pleasure to invite you to subscribe by the CISM Secretariat not later than

April 6, 2020.  

The School is addressed to doctoral students, post-docs and early career researchers with interest in active soft materials. The course is designed to give an integrated experimental, numerical and theoretical viewpoint on such novel material systems as well as possible future research directions in this field.

Although the course is offered by default in a hybrid format due to COVID uncertainties, all speakers are expected to attend the school in presence thus an on-site participation is more than welcome.

Systèmes à 3 phases / 3 phase systems

complete info here / toute les informations ici

Le GdR Méphy organise une journée thématique sur les systèmes composés de trois phases ou trois composantes: par exemple une phase solide (e.g. des grains, particules ou micro-organisme, une membrane, etc.) et deux phases fluides (e.g. un liquide et un gaz, deux liquides non-miscibles), ou bien deux types de particules mécaniquement différents dans un fluide. On trouve de tels exemples dans les mousses chargées en particules, les granulaires immergés, les sols et milieux géologiques, mais aussi les systèmes physico-chimiques ou vivants.

The GdR Méphy is organising a thematic meeting on systems composed of three phases or three components: for example one solid phase (e.g. grains, particles or micro-organism, a membrane, etc.) and two fluid phases (e.g. a liquid and a gas, two immiscible liquids), or two mechanically different types of particles in a fluid. Such examples can be found in particle-laden foams, submerged granular materials, soils and geological environments, but also in physical-chemical or living systems.

Dear colleages,

For their 41st edition, the « Journées de Physique Statistique » will take place on Thursday Jan 27 – Friday Jan 28 2022 at ENS Paris. They will consist of eight 30 minute long presentations, the rest of the time being devoted to flash talks as in previous editions.

Here are essential informations:

1. The meeting is informal, and no financial support is available.

2. Given the brevity of the flash talks (~4 minutes), only the essence of the problem and main results can be presented, without entering into the details.

3. Participation is free. Only those intending to present a flash talk should register.

4. Deadline for registration ( https://jstat.phys.ens.fr/ ) is Dec 20 2021.

5. Participants who subscribe for flash talks will be recontacted to upload their slides. The corresponding file will have to be sent in pdf format before Jan 20 2022.

6. The program will be available on Jan 20 2022.

Nous attirons votre attention sur le Mini-Symposium Mechanics and Physics of Structures   de l’European Solids Mechanics Conference (Galway-Ireland,4-8 July 2022) qui nous semble d’intérêt pour MePhy

We point your attention to the Mini-Symposium Mechanics and Physics of Structures   at European Solids Mechanics Conference (Galway-Ireland,4-8 July 2022), which we find very relevant to the MePhy community.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS = 17 December 2021 

MS- 3-5 – Mechanics and Physics of Structures       

The past years have seen a renewed interest from the Physics community in Solid Mechanics. Condensed-Matter Physicists, for example, are sometimes revisiting problems of Mechanics and Materials understood to be “classical” by Mechanical Engineers. Such an interest has brought a reinvigorating stimulus to the Solid Mechanics community in the area of geometrically non-linear problems of thin or slender structures, meta- and programmable materials and actuators, multi-physics interactions (surface tension, fluid-structure, magneto- or electrostatic coupling, responsive materials such as liquid-crystal elastomers), singularities and localization, deployable structures, fracture path stability. An example is “Buckling”, which was often viewed as problematic for the operation of elastic structures but is now exploited in the design of structures that deliberately change shape while retaining structural integrity. Entertaining the notion of shape-change by itself has permitted intrigue beyond the mechanical world into ever-changing biological structures. Understanding Nature’s principles of growth and form has subsequently inspired the development of synthetic “soft matter” for broader applications and applied solutions where traditional methods had faltered. There is much to be discovered or “rediscovered” in bringing together, again, the research communities from Solid Mechanics and Physics. By themselves, they have their own approaches and paradigms, but they focus on the same pursuit of compact analytical models and the deep understanding of phenomena. Moreover, they gather around common tools, from nonlinear mathematics, precise desktop experiments, to computational software including finite element analysis and computer graphics. Our mini-symposium therefore encourages our colleagues and friends to celebrate structures and their remarkable performances in a broad range of settings and applications.
