Czech National Committee for the Properties of Water and Steam (CZ NC PWS) in collaboration with University of West Bohemia will organize IAPWS 2011 Annual Meeting & Symposium held in Pilsen on September 4-9, 2011. The objective of the annual IAPWS meetings is to review and evaluate the results obtained in the working groups during the previous period, to prepare IAPWS documents for publication and to determine new objectives and assign tasks for the next period.
As part of the Meeting a one-day Symposium on Water and Aqueous Mixtures: Research for Future Energy Technologies is held on September 7. The programme of the Symposium can be found here. The registration page is open until August 22, 2011. »»»

The EUROMECH Colloquium 540 aims to bring together engineers and scientists with interest in modelling of wave propagation in solids. The Colloquium will concentrate on topics related to effects of linear and non-linear waves in solids, to solitary waves, to strongly dispersive wave propagation in inhomogeneous solids and to waves in materials with microstructures, etc. »»»

Dynamic nonlinear elastic behaviour, non equilibrium dynamics, first observed as a curiosity In earth materials has now been observed in a great variety of solids. The primary manifestations of the behaviour are characteristic wave distortion, and slow dynamics, a recovery process to equilibrium that takes place linearly with the logarithm of time, over hours to days after a wave disturbance. »»»
