Springer Mechanics Of Microstructured Solids: Cellular Materials Fibre Reinforced Solids And Soft Tissues by GanghofferJ-F. PastroneF.
This Special Volume Of The Series Lecture Notes In Applied And Computational Mechanics Is A Compendium Of Reviewed Articles Presented At The 11Th Euromech-Mecamat Conference Entitled Mechanics Of Microstructured Solids: Cellular Materials Fibre Reinforced Solids And Soft Tissues Which Took Place In Torino (Italy) In March 10-14 2008 At The Museo Regional Delle Scienze. This Euromech-Mecamat Conference Was Jointly Organized By The Dipar- Mento Di Matematica DellUniversita Di Torino Italy And The Inpl Institute (Lemta Nancy-Universite France). Prof. Franco Pastrone And Prof. Jean- Francois Ganghoffer Were The Co-Chairmen. The Conference Brought Together 50 Scientists From 11 European Countries And Was Aimed At Defining The Current State Of The Art In The Growing Field Of Cellular And Fibrous Materials In Europe. Participants Had Interests In The Constitutive M- Els Of Micro-Structured Solids Non-Linear Wave Propagation Setting Up Of Models And Identification Of Fibre Reinforced Solids And Soft Tissue Behaviour In A Bio- Chanical Context.The Conference Covered Most Of The Mechanical And Material Aspects Grouped In The Following Four Sessions: * Fibre Reinforced Materials; * Soft Biological Tissues; * Generalized Continua: Models And Materials; * Non-Linear Wave Propagation. The High Quality Talks Showed A Good Balance Between Modelling And Material - Pects. An Important Part Of The Colloquium With 12 Presentations Was Devoted To Various Aspects Of The Biomechanics Of Soft Tissues Such As Cell Adhesion Consti- Tive Models Of Soft Tissues (Brain; Arteries) Or Models Of Blood Flow.Show More
