Dear Colleague, I would like to bring to your attention the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Modelling of Heterogeneous Materials with Applications in Construction and Biomedical Engineering (MHM 2007), which will take place on 25-27 June 2007 in Prague.
The aim of this conference is to gather specialists in modelling of heterogeneous materials who work in different domains of application but face similar general problems. Attention will focus on theoretical modelling and numerical simulation on multiple scales, but contributions dealing with advanced experimental techniques, especially on the nano- and micro-level, will be equally welcome. The specific materials to be considered will be e.g. concrete and other cement-based composites, rocks and soils, polymers, bones, or soft biological tissues. The MHM 2007 conference is jointly chaired by Prof. Herbert Mang (TU Vienna) and Prof. Zdenek Bittnar (CTU Prague). Please kindly consider attending our conference, which is organized as a participant-friendly event, with deadline for abstract submission on January 31 and deadline for early registration on March 31. All details regarding the topics, registration, accommodation and abstract submission are posted on the web site http://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/mhm2007 Let me emphasize that June is the perfect month for visiting Prague, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. At the same time, MHM 2007 is conceived as a first-class scientific meeting, with a Scientific Committee consisting of 26 higly reputed international experts.
