MathProSpeM2012
Mathematical Models and Analytical Problems in Special Materials
INdAM Workshop
Rome, Italy | April 16-20, 2012
Aim and Scope
The Conference is devoted to most recent results
concerning mathematical problems which arise from
materials with memory. Challenging analytical
problems are originated from applications in which
materials with memory, and smart materials in
general, are more and more widely used. Indeed, in
a variety of different technological environments
materials with memory are nowadays employed.
Crucial physical properties of these materials
depend on time also through the whole past history.
This peculiar behavior induces to make use of such
materials in various different applications such as
biomedical tools and in sensors and actuators. The
aim of the Conference is to provide an overview of
new and interesting analytical results which are
originated,
more
generally,
from
different
applicative areas.
Scientific and Organizing Committee of
the Conference
Sandra Carillo (Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy)

the Special Session
Topics of the Conference
Special Session of the Conference
- Materials with memory and hysteresis:
analytical problems, thermodynamics and phase
transitions.
- Shape memory alloys.
- Binary fluid and solid mixtures.
- Viscoelasticity and thermo-viscoelasticity.
- Evolution and control problems in advanced
materials and complex structures.
- Mathematical models of liquid crystals.
On April 18th, 2012 it is planned a Special
Session on the occasion of the 70th birthday of
Professor Mauro Fabrizio. A natural suggestion to
honor him within the framework of the
International
Conference
MathProSpeM2012
''Mathematical Models and Analytical Problems in
Special Materials'' follows from his major
contributions to this research area, which
comprises so many of his interesting results.
Venue
Contact
The Conference (April 16-17 and 19-20,
2012) will take place at Istituto Nazionale di Alta
Matematica (INdAM), Piazzale Aldo Moro 5, Roma
(Italy), which is located on the first floor of the
Mathematics Department "G. Castelnuovo" (see
the map) inside the campus of Sapienza
Università di Roma. To reach the INdAM
Institute, please take the corridor on your right
after getting inside the Mathematics Department
from its main entrance, and follow it round to a
staircase. Then go up to the first floor where you
find the door of the INdAM Institute on your left.
