Third Asian Conference on Mechanics of Functional Materials and Structures At Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

AIM

The Third Asian Conference on Mechanics of Functional Materials and Structures (ACMFMS 2012) is the successor of the First and the Second conferences held at Matsue, Japan in 2008 and Nanjing, China in 2010, respectively, and will be held during December 5‐8, 2012 in New Delhi, India. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for researchers and academics, particularly from East Asia and neighbouring region, to interact, exchange ideas and establish relationships, with a view to future cooperation and subsequent development of research in theoretical and applied mechanics of solids. Young university faculty and researchers are especially encouraged to participate, and to use this opportunity to network with others in similar situations, who will also be seeking to develop their research abilities and experience.

TOPICS

This is a conference on theoretical and applied mechanics of solids, with particular focus on the following, but not limited to them:

• Mechanics of Functional and Intelligent Materials
• Mechanics of Functional and Smart Structures
• Elasticity (Mathematical, Thermo, Electro, Electromagneto, Photo)
• Plasticity (Mathematical, Multiscale, Thermo, Visco)
• Fracture and Damage Mechanics
• Impact Mechanics and Dynamic Material Behavior
• Contact Mechanics
• Solid‐fluid interaction
• Biomechanics

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: The official language will be English

TIME AND PLACE

The conference will be held from December 5th to 8th, 2012, hosted by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)Delhi, New Delhi, India. The city is the capital of India.
