Prof. Barchiesi speaker at the 15th International Symposium on Continuum Models and Discrete Systems
On June 9, Prof. Barchiesi will
present the talk entitled Pantographic waveguides: from dispersion to
solitary waves and beyond* as part of Thematic Session 3 - Advanced
Metamaterials: Novel Architectures, Multiphysics Interactions, and Emerging
Functionalities at the 15th International Symposium on Continuum Models and
Discrete Systems (CMDS15).
The symposium is chaired by Prof. Patrizia Trovalusci (Sapienza University of Rome) and will take place in Rome from June 7 to 12, 2026, at the Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering Of Sapienza University of Rome.
The CMDS15 Symposium aims to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds—engineering, physics, mathematics, and material science—to explore advanced theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches in the mechanics of complex materials and structures. The symposium will foster interdisciplinary discussions on discrete and continuum modelling of materials, emphasising the interplay between continuum theories and discrete mechanical and thermodynamic systems.
Further information is available on the CMDS15 website.
