Main

The e-Workshop Advances in ELAstoDYNamics of architected materials and BIOmaterials is organised by the International Research Project (IRP) Coss&Vita of the CNRS.

Due to the COVID-19 related crisis, the workshop will be held in an online format. 

Scope of the workshop 

The scope of the workshop is to present the recent activities of the reserach groups of the IRP Coss&Vita, but also to exchange with other members of the scientific communities on the subjects. Particular attention will be given to scientific discussions.

Main topics

  • Waves and generalized continua
  • Metamaterials
  • Mechanical modelling of complex materials and structures
  • Biomaterials
  • Modelling living materials
  • Transverse topics (waves and biological tissues)

Participation is free, but registration is required via the registration page.  

Contributions are welcome, please submit your abstract in the submission page.

Organisers

The workshop is organised by the research groups ELADYN and BIO of the IRP Coss&Vita.

The activities of ELADYN research group are focused on the analysis, understanding and modelling of the dynamic and static mechanical behaviour of microstructured media. Configurations where the size of the perturbation approaches the characteristic size of the microstructure, or when the frequency increases, will be investigated. For practical applications, it is important to optimize the inner structure of those materials to control their macroscopic mechanical behaviour. To reduce the computational cost it is valuable to replace the initial heterogeneous geometry by an equivalent homogeneous continuum that preserves the salient aspects of the initial physics. An important issue is to find criteria for choosing the right generalized model, which will be a compromise between accuracy and complexity, most of all in terms of constitutive coefficients.

The activities of BIOmaterials group are motivated by the fact that living materials have the unique capability to adapt their response to their mechanical and biochemical environment in order to meet specific mechanical and biological demands. This functional adaptation is a truly multiscale process. At the macroscopic scale, it emerges as growth (i.e. change of the stress-free state) and/or remodeling (i.e. change of material proper- ties) of the tissue. At the microscopic scale, it results from the cell activity which may sense and respond to the superimposed mechanical, biochemical and bioelectrical stimuli. Abnor- mal growth and remodeling are related to serious disorders such as osteoporosis, heart failure, atherosclerosis, tumor growth. . . Similar questions arise looking at the interactions between the biomaterials or implants and the surrounding tissues. Therefore, a deep understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying the functional adaptation of the living materials is of key importance for clinical applications and may provide clinicians with useful cues in terms of both diagnosis and medical treatments.
