ICNAAM - 9th International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics

Understanding fluid dynamics and heat transfer has been one of the major advances of mathematics, physics and engineering. Our symposium covers various subjects: from new numerical methods and fundamental research until engineering applications. This annual meeting is a part of the International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (ICNAAM) and thus it is organized together with many other symposia on numerical analysis: this also offers a wider audience since ICNAAM is perhaps one of the biggest events in the field of the numerical analysis involving hundreds of scientist from the whole world.

ICIUS 2013

We are pleased to announce that the 9th International Conference on Intelligent Unmanned Systems (ICIUS 2013) will be held from 25-27 September 2013 in the beautiful pink city of Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. ICIUS 2013 is jointly organised by Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, Aeronautics Research and Development Board and Department of Science and Technology – in collaboration with the International Society of Intelligence Unmanned Systems (ISIUS). It was jointly organized by 3 M&AM members: Dr. C. Venkatesan, Dr. D. Das and Dr. Abhishek.

ICIUS is a well-established annual conference, which addresses the rapidly changing state of the art in unmanned systems, robotics and biomimetics, control and computation, intelligent systems, and provides insights into the paths ahead for fundamental research, device development and technology deployment around the world. ICIUS 2013 is the 9th conference extending from previous conferences held in Seoul-Korea (2005,2006), Bali-Indonesia (2007), Nanjing-China (2008), Jeju-Korea (2009), Bali-Indonesia (2010), Chiba-Japan (2011) and Singapore (2012).

Pravartana 2013 : TEQIP Workshop on Applied Mechanics

The Mechanics & Applied Mathematics Group at IIT Kanpur is organizing Pravartana 2013: A TEQIP Workshop on Applied Mechanics from 05 to 07 Oct 2013 in Outreach Auditorium. The workshop is supported by TKIC (TEQIP Knowledge Incubation Center) at IIT Kanpur.

The workshop will be inaugurated at 8:30 am on 05 Oct 2013.

The detailed program is available here.

Pravartana II: Nonlinearity and Geometry in Mechanics

The theme was centered on the close link between geometry and nonlinear behavior. While it is increasingly fashionable to study nonlinear constitutive laws, it is a fact that geometry, and by extension, a system's inherent kinematics, is a fundamental source of nonlinearity in a system. Geometric nonlinearities are present irrespective of the balance laws governing the system, be it large deformations in continuum mechanics or the input/output response of a mechanism.

The aim was to bring together nonlinear analysts and kinematicians, to hopefully share expertise across two fundamentally close fields, and also explore avenues of future collaborative research.

This was the second in the series on workshops on themes in Mechanics and Applied Mathematics. The themes are topical and inter-disciplinary, and attendees are chosen so as to provide an audience that is superficially incompatible. The talks are supposed to be relaxed but rigorous, informal but informed, and open-ended enough to elicit lively and intense discussion. Talks will be typically of about 40 minutes, followed by up to 20 minutes of discussion.
