WORKSHOP ON NONLINEAR ELASTICITY

Liu Bie Ju Centre of Mathematical Science,

CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG 6 - 9 April, 2000

CALL FOR PAPERS

With the emergence of increasingly sophisticated symbolic manipulation packages and powerful computers, coupled with cross-fertilization with other branches of nonlinear science, problems previously thought to be intractable can now be solved, old unexplained phenomena explained and new phenomena predicted in nonlinear elasticity. As we enter the new millenium, this workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers to report their latest results and to provide a focal point for future research. Among the topics to be covered are:

Foundations of nonlinear elasticity
Large elastic deformations
Linear and nonlinear wave propagation
Exact solutions
Linear and nonlinear stability analysis
Phase transition

Please express your intention to participate as soon as possible and send one A4 page of abstract, by 14th August 1999, to one of the co-organizers of the symposium (email encouraged):
