Materials and processes that fail to satisfy the continuity hypothesis are discussed and analyzed. A method based on analytical and computational considerations for the dynamics of interacting particles is developed as an effective alternative or complementary approach for the traditional continuum mechanics for such problems.

Dr Luke Bisby is a Reader and Senior Research Fellow in Structures in Fire working within the BRE Centre for Fire Safety Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

The extensive use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite materials in a wide range of industries, and their inherent variability, has prompted many researchers to assess their performance from a probabilistic perspective.

Talk on process oriented controller for a FPGA based software transceiver.

Analytical surface-function (ASF) methods for surface boundary conditions of turbulent flows are reviewed.

Abstract: The presentation will focus mainly on the problem of vortex-induced vibration experienced by risers used by the oil & gas companies in their off-shore installations.

Professor Gerard Parr is the UK lead of the India-UK Advanced Technology Centre of Excellence in Next Generation Networks Systems and Services.

Abstract: The theory of nonsmooth dynamical systems is still young, but fruitful. We will present some recent theoretical advances, with application to experimental results from a superconducting sensor, and open problems of relevance to mechanical systems with friction or impact, such as the occurrence of nondeterministic chaos.

Modelling the fracture of brittle materials can be difficult because it involves the fast propagation of cracks.

Chaos may be exploited in order to design dynamical systems that may quickly react to some new situation, changing conditions and their response.
