Trends in Continuum Physics cover

The aim of this international symposium was to bring together active scientists from Central, East and West Europe working in the field of physics of continua. So 9 invited and 27 contributed lectures were delivered, and 16 posters were presented from scientists of 12 European countries. The covered fields of the symposium were thermomechanics including thermoviscoplasticity and magnetoplasticity, nonlinear and hyperbolic heat conduction processes, two-phase flow, biomechanics and mesoscopic continuum mechanics. A final discussion on the terminology of continuum physics brought closer together the different theoretical methods used in the various fields.
