International Symposium on Mechanics of Solids and Structures (17-19 September 2012, Aberdeen, UK)

The aim of this symposium is to celebrate Professor Steve Reid's academic achievements and contributions to the mechanics community over the last four decades. This includes his 30 years association with the International Journal of Mechanical Science, 25 years of which as Editor-in-Chief.

The symposium will gather international experts in the area of Solid Mechanics and Impact Dynamics to review the state-of-the art of the subject, to foster future research directions and to stimulate development of new generation of materials, experimental techniques, products and processes operating on principles of nonlinear mechanics and impact engineering.
