\"Broberg<\/a><\/h3>\n

24th<\/sup>\u00a0and 25th<\/sup>\u00a0of August 2015
\nKarlskrona, Sweden\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

The organizers of the fifth symposium to honour the memory of Professor Bertram Broberg have the pleasure to announce a meeting with the focus on theoretical, experimental and computational mechanics. This year will be held at Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden (BTH). Professor Broberg was the first professor of Lund Institute of Technology (LTH) where he was also the first Vice Chancellor. To honour his memory, a first symposium was arranged in Dublin, May 2007, at the instigation of his widow, Anne Buttimer Broberg, in what has become a series of symposia. For the fifth symposium, the intention is to maintain the informal atmosphere of the earlier symposia, and to keep the number of participants at a maximum of around 50 \u00a0participants.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

CONFERENCE VENUE<\/h3>\n

BTH is mainly located in the beautiful marine city Karlskrona<\/a><\/strong> (Watch the movie:\u00a0Karlskrona from above<\/a>). The venue of the conference is at the beautiful campus of \u00a0Blekinge Institute of Technology<\/a>, around 3 hours by train from Copenhagen airport.\u00a0 For hotel information, please find a list over hotels in Karlskrona\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CONFERENCE SCOPE<\/h3>\n

The papers presented at the Conference should concern problems of classical mechanics, preferably with connection to the broad variety of problems addressed by Professor Broberg. This includes, stress waves, fracture mechanics, biomechanics, geomechanics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, probabilistic mechanics, numerical and experimental methods, general continuum mechanics etc. This year, we would like to add Eco design and sustainability as a new topic since Professor Broberg has also contributed in this field and this is one of the focus areas of\u00a0BTH. If you like, you may also prepare a short story about what you know of Professor Bertram Broberg as a scientist and a person at the beginning of your presentation or during the dinner. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

INVITED SPEAKERS<\/h3>\n

Under communication and can be found here before the 1st June.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
