About: The micro-mechanics of heterogeneous materials with randomness in structure is a burgeoning multidisciplinary research area which overlaps the scientific branches of materials science, mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, physics, geophysics, and biology. The prediction of the behavior of heterogeneous materials by the use of properties of constituents and their micro-structures is a central issue of micro-mechanics.

This symposium, jointly organized with the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, aims to address the most recent standing of mechanics of porous media, granular systems, glassy and amorphous materials, bio-materials etc from the point of view of statistical physics.
