Mathematical Problems Arising From Thin Structures: Plates and Shells

The objective of the school is to give an initiation to the modern theory of plates and shells, including in particular the use of asymptotics methods for the justification of bidimensional models, the mathematic analysis of these models and the study of the most performing methods employed in numerical simulations. The school is intended to young researchers and students with a good training in fonctional analysis, partial differential equations and numerical analysis.
