The Summer School is organised by FP7 PEOPLE IRSES project TAMER (PIRSES-GA-2013-610547).
The event is supported by Rzeszow University of Technology and its Aviation Training Center.
First Summer School on Micromechanics
Micromechanics of materials is rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of engineering science. It is developed by specialists in solid mechanics, applied mathematics and materials science. Micromechanics studies materials that can be generally characterized as multiphase mixtures. Perhaps, the most important class of them can be described as a matrix containing various inhomogeneities, like pores, microcracks, fibers, foreign particles. Another example is given by polycrystalline aggregates (like metals), consisting of crystallites of diverse orientations. Such materials may be man-made (composites, metals, foams) and may occur in nature (cracked or porous rocks, ice, bones). The goal of micromechanics is to relate the physical behavior (mechanical, conductive, etc.) to the ‘‘microstructure” – properties and geometrical arrangement of the constituents.
The program of the school is oriented to needs of the postgraduate students and young scientists and includes three courses (14 academic hours each) and Research orientation workshop (30 academic hours).
Taught courses:
- Fundamentals of micromechanics, taught by Prof. Sevostianov, New Mexico State University, USA
- Computational micromechanics, taught by Prof. Böhm, Technical University of Vienna, Austria
- Composite materials, taught by Dr Jaroslav Kovačik, Institute of Materials & Machine Mechanics Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia
Research orientation workshop:
The Research Orientation Workshop will consist of master classes taught by world leading specialists in micromechanics and round tables in small groups (4-6 students) on:
- Writing research papers for leading international journals
- Preparing poster presentations
- Making oral presentations
Workshop groups moderators:
- Prof. Böhm, Technical University of Vienna, Austria
- Dr Kovačik, Institute of Materials & Machine Mechanics Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia
- Dr Kushch, Institute for Superhard Materials, The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev, Ukraine
- Prof. Mishuris, Aberystwyth University, Wales, UK
- Prof. Sevostianov, New Mexico State University, USA
- Dr Vilchevskaya, Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering, Russian Academy of Sciences (IPME RAS), St. Petersburg, Russia
