Programmes of BICTAM for 2008-2010
The Beijing International Center for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (BICTAM) announced its programmes for 2008-2010. The programmes include two symposia and two summer courses in 2008, one symposium and one workshop in 2009, and one workshop in 2010.
There are seven highlighted areas that will take place in various parts in China. The areas titles are:
- Surfaces and Interfaces in Solid Matters,
- Multi-Field Coupling Theory and Smart Materials,
- International Symposium on Computational Mechanics of Materials,
- Mechanics and Biomimetics of Biomaterials and Animal Locomotion,
- Multi-Phase Flows in ABL: Wind Erosion, Dust Storms and Snow Drift,
- Meshfree/Meshless and Particle Methods, and
- Mitigation of Earthquake Hazards.
Target participants will be researchers, engineers, and students in Asia and the Pacific and other countries. BICTAM will provide some financial support to students in Asia and the Pacific participating in these activities. Priority will be given to students recommended by the IAP members of BICTAM, and the societies of theoretical and applied mechanics and the relevant societies in the region.
All international students approved and accepted by BICTAM will get free registration and accommodation. A total of 40 students will be supported by BICTAM for year 2008.
