Rate-independent systems: Modeling, Analysis, and Computations (10w5075)

Objectives
The main aim of this Workshop is indeed quite traditional: to bring together
the world experts in the field as well as a number of talented young
researchers and to offer the chance of discussing results and projects. The
Workshop will be the right occasion to interact, start up or progress in
collaborations, and to exchange information and vision.
The envisaged pool of participants is already well connected. Still, this community is nowadays quite heterogeneous as for tools and perspectives. We believe that favoring new exchanges between different sides of the group could strongly contribute to the research field.
Among the themes to be addressed in the Workshop are:
- Rate-independent and sweeping processes.
- Variational and quasi-variational inequalities.
- Regularization techniques, viscous regularization.
- Space and time-discretizations.
- Gamma-convergence, relaxation, and approximation techniques.
- Multiscale problems, homogenization, scaling limits.
- Young measures techniques.
- Models in Solid and Fracture Mechanics.
- Material modeling, phase change in solids, microstructures.
