The Organizing Committee has the pleasure of inviting you to attend the INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE ON MECHANICS (MECH2012), dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the Institute of Mechanics – BAS & 50 years organized research on Mechanics in BAS, which will be held in Sofia, Bulgaria, 19th

-22nd November 2012. The meeting is organized by the Institute of Mechanics to BAS in cooperation with the National Committee of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, the Union of Scientists in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Society of Non Destructing Testing, the Bulgarian Society of Biomechanics and the Bulgarian Society of Biorheology.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Bulgaria in November 2012. We sincerely hope that you will find the meeting convincing, useful and rewarding. We do hope that this scientific forum will ensure very good conditions for an extensive exchange of experience, views and personal contacts.

The lectures, confirmed to that moment are given below:

● Stress concentrations in composite structures and their assessment in regard of effective strengthW. Becker - Technical University, Darmstadt, Germany● On Faraday’s instability in magnetic liquids: Ince-Erdelyi’s approach applied to the Hill equation describing oscillations of a ferrofluid free syrfaceM. Hennenberg, S. Slavtchev, G. Valchev - Belgium, Bulgaria● Numerical Methods for strongly heterogeneous anisotropic problems and simulation in porous mediaS.
