CONFERENCE TOPICS

The theory and analysis of shells, including:
  • linear and nonlinear theory;
  • constitutive laws;
  • shells and plates with internal microstructure;
  • hybrid and branched structures;
  • beam - shell interaction;
  • stability, dynamics, optimization, reliability, sensitivity, limit load analysis etc.
Numerical analysis of shell structures and elements, including:
  • computer methods: FEM, BEM and others;

  • development of software packages.
Design and maintenance of shell structures, including:
  • industrial applications in civil, power, mining and mechanical engineering, as well as in automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace and chemical processing industries;
  • shell design codes and procedures (e.g. Eurocode);
  • case studies of various shell structures and failure problems.

GENERAL INFORMATION

  • The Conference program will include general lectures and contributed papers presented as lectures.
  • All the contribution abstracts (2 pages) will be rigorously reviewed prior to acceptance. The accepted abstracts will be included in the Conference book of abstracts, which will be available for the participants at the registration desk.
