Introduction:
This special session will address analytic aspects of nonlinear systems
of PDEs arising particularly in modeling the behavior of materials
such as shape-memory alloys, porous materials (e.g. concrete),
biological membranes. The discussions will be around topics
like well-posedness, specific limits (e.g. fast-reaction a
symptotic and its connection with the large-time behavior),
nonlinear transmission conditions, coupling mechanics equations
with thermal and chemistry models. |
