The first Contact Mechanics International Symposium (CMIS) took place in Lausanne in 1992. For the 10th edition of CMIS we are happy to welcome you back in Switzerland.

 

ORGANISATION COMMITTEE : EPFL, Switzerland

CMIS OBJECTIVES :

Following the tradition of CMIS symposia, the aim of this symposium is to gather researchers from the mathematical and engineering communities working on various aspects of contact mechanics, using theoretical, experimental and computational approaches.

 

CONFERENCE TOPICS :

The congress addresses a wide panorama of topics in the area of contact mechanics in order to reinforce interactions and collaborations between various communities:

 

• Models, friction laws; wear; tribological modeling; cohesive zone models; rolling;

• Emerging computational approaches: methods, algorithms and numerical analysis ;

• Mathematical analysis ;

• Dynamic contact problems, instabilities ;

• Nano and micromechanics of contact and multiscale approaches ;

• Multiphysics and thermomechanical coupling ;

• Granular materials and rigid bodies ;

• Contact modeling in mechanical and civil engineering, biomechanics and geomechanics.
