Continuum Models and Discrete Systems

The present book contains the proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Continuum Models and Discrete Systems (CMDS14) held in Paris in June 2023. It contains 21 contributions that cover a broad range of topics in the wide field of mechanics and physics of heterogeneous media for discrete and continuous systems, from image analysis to models of random structures and to homogenization. The sessions in the CMDS conference series cover, in particular, the modeling of complex heterogeneous systems and metamaterials, structures and composites with extreme properties, deformable solids with microstructures, generalized continua, fracture and defect dynamics, fatigue, design of structured and architectured materials, micro and nanostructures, thermodynamics, transport theory and multiphysics coupling and methods ranging from homogenization theories to optimal design and machine-learning frameworks. Papers in the present volume are organized according to the following six main topics: probabilistic models, homogenization, solid mechanics, architectured materials, optics and metamaterials, machine learning methods.

Continuum Models And Discrete Systems - Proceedings Of The Eighth International Symposium

The purpose of this symposium is to bring together scientists working on continuum theories of discrete mechanical and thermodynamical systems in the realm of mathematics, theoretical and applied mechanics, physics, material science and engineering. It aims to join together the divergent languages, questions and methods developed in the respective disciplines and to stimulate broad interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and results. The main topics, discussed in the lectures, concern thermodynamics, transport theory, statistical mechanics; continuum mechanics of complex fluids and deformable solids with microstructure; continuum theory of living structures; defect dynamics, synergetics, solitons, coherent structures; dislocations and plasticity; fundamentals of fracture mechanics.
