Cutting science in biology and engineering

Start: 
Mon, 2015/10/26 - Tue, 2015/10/27
Location: 
Buckinghamshire, UK

Specific theories and applications of cutting are being reported in a bewildering number of journals. This is across materials, engineering, food, agriculture, health sciences, ecology, palaeontology, archaeology and more but they can be unified under the umbrella of fracture mechanics. Our aim is examine and disseminate this unified theory in discussion with investigators from many disciplines to advance research in these fields.

The draft programme is available to download and biographies of the speakers will be available shortly. Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the event. Papers relating to this meeting will also be published in Interface Focus.

Call for posters - deadline 1 September 2015
