Form and deformation in solid and fluid mechanics
GFSW01
18 September 2017 to 22 September 2017
We have been made aware of a convincing email scam that is focusing on our Programme and Workshop participants. Participants may receive an email from a firm called Expo Hotel Services (ehotelservices.org) to arrange accommodation for workshops and/or programmes. This might include a request to provide them with credit card information.
Please note, INI will never ask for your card details. We take all payments via the University of Cambridge Online store https://onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/.
If you have been contacted by this company please contact us as soon as possible.
Workshop theme
This workshop will focus on fluid and solid mechanics systems whose dynamics governs growth and determines form. Over the last decade, the field of soft condensed matter physics has paid a growing attention to problems involving solid mechanics, from crumpling of sheets to bending of leaves, and to the physical coupling between solid deformation and fluid stresses. Such problems have proven mathematically and computationally challenging, in artificial settings (dynamics of flexible microfluidic valves) and in biophysical contexts (dynamics and rheology of lipid bilayer membranes). We will thus aim to discuss new problems in fluid and solid mechanics, and will focus on those that depend on both. Reflecting the spirit of D’Arcy Thompson’s approach, many of these problems start from experimental observations in the biological world, e.g. the dynamics of the cytoskeleton in crawling cells, or the dynamical rearrangements of flagella in swimming bacteria.
