OTHER EVENTS
4th international conference on Coupled problems in science and engineering (coupled Problems 2011)
June 20-22, 2011, Kos Island, Greece
The objectives of Coupled 2011 are to present and discuss state of the art, mathematical models, numerical methods and computational techniques for solving coupling problems of multidisciplinary character in science and engineering. The conference goal is to make step forward in the formulation and solution of real life problems with a multidisciplinary vision, accounting for all the complex couplings involved in the physical description of the problem.
Deadline for presenting a one page abstract: 29 October 2010.

Advanced course "mechanics of fine cohesive powders"
July 11-15, 2011, International Center for Mechanical Science, Udine, Italy
For more detailed information, please click here.
An overall aim of the course is to contribute to develop the capacity of interdisciplinary research fields to understand these complex systems. This course is thus intended for doctoral and postdoctoral academic and industrial researchers in applied physics, mechanical-, chemical- or geotechnical engineering, who are interested the sharing and integration of knowledge bases from this disparate set of disciplines into a single interdisciplinary subject area oriented to the special characteristics of fine powders.

2oth french congress on mechanics
Augest 28-September 02, 2011, Besançon, France
For more detailed information, please click here.
Session 21 of this Congress will be more specifically dedicated to the"Mechanical Behavior of Materials", with a special attention paid on experimental, theoretical, analytical and numerical approaches taking into account materials microstructure and specificities. A wide range of materials and various aspects of their mechanical behavior will be addressed, so that this session will provide opportunities for scientists and engineers from different communities to meet and to discuss current research

GEOMECHANICS OF STRUCTURED MATERIALS
Soils and Foundations special issue
The "Geomechanics of structured materials" was the topic treated during a session of the ALERT Geomaterials Workshop 2007. A general overview of the behaviour of structured geomaterials and a timely state of the acquired knowledge in this field of geomechanics, as close as possible to the current state of practice, was offered. This Special Issue, hosted by Soils and Foundations International Journal, includes most of the contributions presented.
