    Objectives

    The concepts of duality, complementarity and symmetry play more and more important roles in modern mechanics, theoretical physics,  engineering optimization, control theory and computational methods.

    Much research has been devoted to the developments of complementary and dual variational principles in the last forty years. The theory is well developed in several directions, for example in linear/nonlinear  optimization and variational problems, finite deformation theory, quantum mechanics, elasto-plastic fracture  mechanics, penetration mechanics, shear bands, phase transitions and shape memory alloys,  and finite element methods, etc.,  the complementary-dual variational methods  have made  substantial contributions. Apart from providing a more complete picture of variational  methods, complementary-dual formulations often provide useful bounds on some important  parameters of interest. Recently, the complementary-dual variational methodology and associated computational methods have been found   more and more important in theoretical physics,  nonsmooth, nonconvex mechanics and large scale structural analysis and design.
    A primary   goal of this symposium is to bring together, for the first time, engineers, physicists and mathematicians   from a variety of scientific disciplines who are working on duality, complementarity and symmetry in nonlinear science  and computational methods. The speakers in this symposium will present progress  made in their respective areas of study with theory, methods, algorithms and applications in  general nonlinear mechanics, including (not restrict) the following areas:
    1.  nonsmooth & nonconvex mechanics:
      2. bifurcation and buckling problems, chaotic systems, phase transitions and hysteresis, super-conductivity and shape memory alloys, contact and frectural mechanics,
      stress concentrations, penetration and shear bands, composite materials,
    2. finite deformation field theory, Yang-Mills theory, and differential geometry,
    3. nonconvex and  nonconservative Hamilton systems,
    4. engineering optimization,  sensitivity analysis and  control,
    5. plastic limit analysis, design and shakedown theory,
    6. analytic solutions for general nonlinear partial differential equations,
    7. computational mechanics,  numerical models and algorithms,
    8. nonlinear mathematical programming,
    9. adaptive systems and ``smart'' structures
    10. inverse problems and shape optimization, etc.

    *********************************************************************************
    Call for Papers
    Prospective authors are invited to submit an extended abstract (with a short
      summary) of approximately 800 words (2 pages) on topics related to the
      theme of the symposium. Abstracts should outline the main features, results
      and conclusions as well as their general significance and should also
      contain relevant references. Authors whose abstracts have been accepted
      will receive detailed instructions concerning the final extended abstracts
      and the full final papers. All communications must be in English and bear
      the names of all authors, their affiliations and full mailing and electronic
      addresses.
     
     
    Those wishing to be placed on the mailing list for updated information can   simply e-mail the information to gao@math.vt.edu

    Proceedings


    The invited and contributed lectures will be published in a bound proceedings volume   in the book series Advances in  Mechanics and Mathematics (AMMA) by Kluwer Academic Publishers.  All papers discussed during the Symposium will be refereed. The standard of the IUTAM Proceedings is comparable to the standard of referred journals in the field. The Proceedings will appear after the meeting. The extended abstracts will be published before the meeting.  Registered participants will receive a free copy of the Proceedings from the publisher.

    Instructions on a Paper Preparation

    The template sets are packed in a self extracting file archives. They contain
    stylefiles for LaTeX2.09 and LaTeX2e users. If you should have any
    questions or problems with downloading, please let us know.

                         E-mail: gao@vt.edu

    For questions on the usage of the templates, we kindly refer you to the
    documentation (.doc files).

    Download

    PC/Mac
       edvoll.exe

    Unix
       edvoll.tgz

    These archives contain stylefiles for LaTeX2.09 and LaTeX2e users.

    Unpacking

    PC users: These are self-extracting archives: just doubleclick or type the
                      filename on the command-line.

    Mac users: These can be treated as an ordinary PC-style zipfiles and can
                         be unpacked with suitable archiving utilities. One such utility is the free
                         program Aladdin Expander, downloadable from www.aladdinsys.com

    Unix users:You may prefer to download the tgz versions of the archives.
                       You can unpack them with e.g.
        gzip -d edvoll.tgz
        tar -xvf edvoll.tar

    The first command replaces monol.tgz with edvoll.tar; the second unpacks
    edvoll.tar.

    Location and Local Map
     
    The symposium will be held at the Shanghai University, in Shanghai, China, which is a
      the largest city of China with nearly 13.4 million peoples lived in an area of
                          6340.5 square kilometres, Shanghai is one of the three largest cities in the world and the
            most international of China's cities. It is the most Western-looking city in China as well. The
                          skyline of the financial district of Puxi on the waterfront, the Bund, features tall bank
                          buildings, hotels and customs houses. They face the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone of the
                          Pudong New Area on the eastern bank of the Huangpu River.
                              The Bund is Shanghai's famous waterfront, one of the most impressive in the world. Along
                          it are Western-style buildings formerly built. These modern structures and wide boulevards
                          offer a fascinating contrast to the more traditional Chinese architecture of the Old Town
                          God's Temple where the famous Yu Yuan gardens is located. It is a fine example of
                          landscape art with garderns and pavilions as practiced during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
                              Pudong is on the eastern bank of the Huangpu River and has newly become a Special
                          Economic Zone with its high-tech industrial and extensive banking. Many new skyscrapers
                          have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain in the Lujiazui Zone, among those the
                          Oriental Pearl Tower as well as the Shanghai Shimao Building, all the tallest in Asia, is a
                          uniquely inspiring piece of architecture. These buildings are a striking contrast in design to
                         those on the western bank of the Huangpu Reiver.
                              Two magnificent wire bridges, some novel style in design, have been constructed to
                          connect Puxi with Pudong, as well as numerous tunnels with a cable car for sightseeing one
