This workshop, organised by the CNRS and University of Montpellier in collaboration with the University of Leeds and INRA-Montpellier, is intended to bring physics and engineering communities together to focus on challenges and new scopes in modelling powders and granular materials and their characterisation. The 2-day workshop programme will be composed of several invited talks as well as contributed talks. 

The deadline for abstract submission is 31 January 2019.

« Clayey geomaterials from micro to macroscale » Euroclay 2019 – Paris

Posted on by

Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention on a geological/geomechanical session in the next Euroclay conference which will take place in Paris from 1st to 5th July 2019 (website).

This session entitled “Geotechnical characterisation of clayey geomaterials from micro to macroscale : the role of microstructure and anisotropy” is organized by Prof. Pierre Delage (Ecole des Ponts ParisTech), Dr. Myriam Duc (IFSTTAR), Prof. Christopher Spiers (Utrecht University) and myself.
Our main objective is to bring together geotechnical/geomechanical engineers, clay scientists and material scientists working on problems related to the characterisation of clayey geomaterials at different scales with a focus on the following topics: (i) Quantitative characterisation of microstructure: imaging/physico-chemical techniques and statistical approaches to characterize the microstructure and the anisotropy of clayey geomaterials; (ii) Experimental and theoretical methods to interpret geotechnical/geomechanical properties in terms of microstructural parameters.

We would like to encourage you to submit an abstract for our session. Online abstract submission is now open in the link and closes *** 31 January 2019***

Looking forward to receiving your abstracts and seeing you in Paris!

Best regards,
Philippe

Dear Colleagues, dear friends,

The 2019 EMI International Conference will be held at INSA Lyon, Villeurbanne, France during July 3-5 2019. This event will be a forum to present the newest findings and to depict the future development in Engineering Mechanics as the core discipline of science-enabled Civil and Mechanical Engineering understood in the broadest sense. The oral presentations will be dedicated to academia and to colleagues from companies who are interested in your achievements and who are willing to present their findings. Proposals for mini-symposia (MS) may be submitted until January 15 (an extra one more week might be acceptable). Then abstract submission will open on January 16 until March 15.  The topics are related to:

  • Biomechanics 
  • Computational Mechanics 
  • Composites 
  • Concrete 
  • Data analysis & Big data 
  • Dynamics Elasticity 
  • Experimental (Analysis & Instrumentation) 
  • Fluid Dynamics 
  • Geomechanics & Geotechnics
  • Mechanics of Pavements 
  • Modeling Inelasticity & Multiscale
  • Poromechanics 
  • Probabilistic Methods 
  • Properties of Materials
  • Risk Analysis & Mitigation / Resilience
  • Rock Mechanics
  • Granular, Clay & Powders
  • Stability 
  • Structural Health Monitoring  
  • Vibration & Control
  • Energy and Comfort in Urban Building

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, we welcome your MS proposals.
