  International Summer School-Conference
IPME RAS

Scientific program


Presentations devoted to fundamental aspects of mechanics, or spreading the field of applications of mechanics, are invited. We are particularly keen to receive contributions that show new effects and phenomena or develop new mathematical models.
The topics of the conference cover all fields of mechanics, including, but not restricted, to
  • mechanics of generalized continua (polar and micromorphic continua, mixtures, porous media, electromagnetic continua, grains, powders etc)
  • solids and structures
  • phase transitions
  • nanostructures and thin films
  • wave motion
  • nonlinear dynamics, chaos and vibration
  • dynamics of rigid bodies and multibody dynamics
  • fluid and gas
  • computational mechanics
  • mechanical and civil engineering applications

Four different forms of presentations are offered, namely, plenary lectures (45 minutes), presentations at minisymposia (30 minutes), short communications (20 minutes), and posters.

The working language for oral presentations is English. Regrettably we can not provide simultaneous translation, and due to the international nature of the conference all the oral presentations must be in English.

The working languages for poster sessions are English and Russian.

Minisymposia and Organizers
