6th International Congress of Croatian Society of Mechanics - Book of Abstracts

The Croatian Society of Mechanics is an association with the objective of promoting education, research and application in the field of fluid and solid mechanics. Within the framework of this Society, scientific gatherings have been organised in order to make an environment for the exchange of new ideas and achievements in mechanical sciences. The most prominent scientific events are the International Congresses of the Croatian Society of Mechanics. The five previous congresses took place in Pula in 1994, Supetar in 1997, Cavtat, in 2000, Bizovac in 2003, and Seget in 2006. It has always been the intention to hold the conference in an attractive environment. Therefore, the place of the 6th International Congress of the Croatian Society of Mechanics (6th ICCSM) is Dubrovnik, a “town-monument”, a UNESCO world heritage site, and a favourite tourist destination on the Croatian Adriatic Coast. The Congress has been organised under the auspices of the Central European Association for Computational Mechanics and the University of Zagreb. The organisation has also been supported by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb. The scientific programme of the 6th ICCSM consists of 7 plenary lectures and 123 regular lectures divided into 14 sessions. In the plenary lectures, prominent researches have addressed the stateof- the-art advances in the mechanical sciences. In the regular contributions, the scientists from all over the world have provided an international forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances in various fields of theoretical and applied mechanics. Special attention is directed to the development of modern numerical formulations. This scientific gathering is also an opportunity for valuable interactions between junior and senior researchers that may result in new ideas as well as new in prospective research directions. This book contains the abstracts of the five plenary contributions and the abstracts of all 123 regular presentations. The abstracts have been accepted after having been carefully reviewed by the members of the Scientific Committee and the Organising Committee. All contributions are printed from camera-ready copies submitted by the authors. Therefore, the editors do not assume liability for possible errors or inconsistencies. The complete versions of the presentations are published on CD-ROM. We gratefully acknowledge the valuable contribution of the plenary speakers who gladly accepted our invitations, as well as all the authors of the contributed papers. Furthermore, we express our gratitude to the members of the Scientific Committee who promoted our Congress worldwide. We are also very thankful to Professor Nenad Bićanić, co-chairman of the Congress, for his valuable assistance. Many thanks go to the colleagues who made effort to review the abstracts. In addition, we would like to thank our sponsors, especially the University of Zagreb supporting the accommodation at the Congress venue, as well as to the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia. Special thanks go to the research assistants of the Institute of Applied Mechanics at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture Jasna Leder and Eduard Marenić for their invaluable help at various stages of the Congress preparation. Special mention must be made of Jasna Biondić, our administrative secretary, who also contributed to the success of the Congress. Finally, we would like to thank everyone who helped in any way in organising this scientific event.
