POSITIONS SUMMARY

Objectives

The main aim of this project is to develop a robust computational framework for investigating the hydro-chemo-mechanical aspect of concrete carbonation at meso-scale.

CMMM2019, 29 - March 2019, Suzhou, China

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Conference Chair (Prof. K.M. Liew), I am very pleased to announce the 2nd International Conference on Modeling in Mechanics and Materials will be held from 29 - 31 March 2019 in Suzhou, China.

Composite Materials & Dynamics Laboratory (http://cmdl.missouri.edu/) at University of Missouri develops innovative solutions for Solid Mechanics and Structured Materials, in particular the new frontiers of structural dynamics, wave propagation, micromechanics, topological and quantum mechanics, smart materials and dynamical behaviours of multi-functional materials, both man-made and formed naturally, and understanding relationship between microstructures and material macroscopic properties.

Here are some definitions which I have in my mind about the hierarchy of field theories of any kind. Please read them and correct me if there is any misunderstanding. Then I shall raise two questions based on this model of thought about the Mindlin's strain gradient and Eringen's nonlocal linear elasticity theories.

Definition 1. Two field theories are the same if and only if the field equations of one can be obtained from the other.
