Site is updated: look the the final programme

Scientific Programme

The main topic of the School is concerned with the current problems of fundamental and applied mechanics, including, but not restricted to

solid mechanics
fluid and gas mechanics
wave motion and acoustics
nonlinear oscillations, chaos, stability and control
dynamics of rigid bodies
numerical analysis
computational mechanics
mechanical and civil engineering applications

Four different forms of presentations are offered, namely, plenary lectures (1 hour), presentations at minisymposia (30 minutes), short communications (20 minutes), and posters.

Working language of the conference is English.

TO THE ATTENTION OF RUSSIAN PARTICIPANTS: Russian language as an exception can be used ONLY IN POSTERS, but even in this case English is strongly recommended. Regrettably we can not provide simultaneous translation, and we must strongly require all oral presentations to be in English, since the School will be really international.
