summer school. Nonsmooth Contact. Contact Mechanics and Impact Mechanics.

Dear Colleagues,



A summer school on Nonsmooth Contact and Impact Mechanics is organized from September 10 to 14 at Aussois in the French Alpes. The main focus of the school will be on modeling and numerical/simulation  aspects,  and the following topics will be covered:



Algorithms for contact detection in time-stepping numerical methods

Convergence of time-stepping methods

Multiple impacts in multibody systems

Painlevé paradoxes

Waves in chains of balls

Simulating large fiber assemblies such as hair
