ICNEM : International Conference on Nonlinear Elasticity in Materials
Organized by P. Johnson, M. Remillieux (Los Alamos National Lab) and Cédric Payan (Aix-Marseille Univ)
The purpose of the yearly International Conference on Nonlinear Elasticity in Materials (ICNEM) is to promote understanding regarding the elastic nonlinear behavior of solids. The primary manifestations of the behavior are characteristic wave distortion, and slow dynamics, a recovery process to equilibrium that takes place linearly with the logarithm of time, over hours to days after a wave disturbance. The link between the diverse materials that exhibit nonequilibrium dynamics appears to be the presence of soft regions, thought to be primarily 'damage' at many scales, ranging from order 10^-9 m to 10^-1 m at least. The regions of soft matter may be distributed as in a rock sample, or isolated, as in a sample with a single crack.
