Ganghoffer J.-F., Pastrone F. (Eds.) Mechanics of Microstructured Solids 1: Cellular Materials, Fibre Reinforced Solids and Soft Tissues

Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2009. – 132 p. – ISBN: 9783642009105This 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 Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Torino, Italy and the INPL Institute (LEMTA, Nancy-Université, France). Prof. Franco Pastrone and Prof. Jean-François 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 models of micro-structured solids, non-linear wave propagation, setting up of models and identification of fibre reinforced solids, and soft tissue behaviour in a biomechanical 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.Class-Jump Phenomenon for Physical Symmetries in Bi-dimensional Space
