Synopsis

The 16 general lectures and 88 research communications delivered at the June/July 1998 symposium fall under the following broad fields thermodynamics, transport theory and statistical mechanics in the context of continuum modeling of discrete systems; continuum mechanics of complex fluids and deformable solids with microstructure; continuum theory of living structures; defect dynamics, dynamical systems, synergetics, solitons, coherent structures; dislocations and plasticity; new developments in continuum theory, non-classical models; discrete material structures in engineering science, fatigue and crack dynamics on different microlevels; and granular materials and interfacial phenomena. A final section contains 11 poster abstracts. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
