Overview

Theo Murphy international scientific meeting organised by Dr Simon Guest, Professor Patrick Fowler and Professor Stephen Power

Event details

Rigidity and flexibility are at the heart of the behaviour of designed and natural structures, machines and materials. Combining theories of rigidity and symmetry has given insights in all these fields, and now periodic and repetitive structures give new challenges in the analysis of deformations and dynamics. Open mathematical questions have practical implications for engineers, materials scientists and chemists: progress will be made at this multidisciplinary meeting by drawing together diverse approaches from these fields.

Biographies of the organisers and speakers are available below.  Audio recordings are freely available and the programme can be downloaded here. Papers will be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.
