International Conference on

Continuous and Discrete Modelling in Mechanics
CDMM2005

in Memory of Prof. Henryk Zorski

September 5 - 9, 2005

Warsaw, Poland

 



Announcement

 

General Information

The conference was dedicated to the late Prof. Henryk Zorski. His scientific contributions, organization of research under very difficult political circumstances, and teaching influenced considerably the shape of XXth Century mechanics not only in Poland but in many other countries of the world as well.

The conference is affiliated to the International Society for the Interaction of Mechanics and Mathematics in whose creation Henryk Zorski was actively involved. It is sponsored by the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research of Polish Academy of Sciences.
