Description
Technology has nowadays reached a paramount degree of complexity. In order to push the limits of today, we need a deep and solid understanding of the physical phenomena on which applications rely on. Formal computations or experimental observations alone can not fulfil the demand of knowledge required to unveil the mechanisms behind them. This can be only achieved when the language and the instruments of mathematical analysis are used to interpret experimental data and to predict the outcome of physical experiments.
In this conference we focus on challenges at the interface between mathematics and mechanics, such as the modeling of fine microstructures, the study of defects, the effects of randomness in textures and loading, dynamic fracture, inelasticity, as well as fast phase transformations for applications to new memory devices. It is therefore important to find a common ground to set up a dialogue between these disciplines. By gathering together international experts and young researchers, we aim at fostering the interaction between scientists of different areas, as well as exposing the new generations to the cutting-edge research on the topic.
La technologie a atteint un extrême degré de complexité. Pour pousser ses limites on a besoin d’une connaissance profonde et solide des phénomènes physiques sur lesquels reposent les applications. Les computations formelles et les observations expérimentales ne suffisent pas à satisfaire la demande de connaissances nécessaires à comprendre leurs mécanismes ; il faut aussi interpréter des données expérimentales et prédire les résultats d’expériences physiques avec le langage et les outils de l’analyse mathématique.
Dans cette conférence on se concentre sur les défis qui surgissent au croisement
entre la mathématique et la mécanique, comme la modélisation de microstructures fines, l’étude de défauts, les effets du hasard sur les textures et le chargement, la fracture dynamique, l’inélasticité et les transformations rapides de phase dans les applications pour les nouveaux dispositifs de mémoire. Il est important de trouver un terrain commun pour établir un dialogue interdisciplinaire : à travers cette réunion internationale d’experts et de jeunes chercheurs on voudrait encourager l’interaction entre scientifiques provenant de différentes branches tout en exposant les nouvelles générations aux recherches les plus innovantes dans ce domaine.
