The 11th Contact Mechanics International Symposium (CMIS) aims at gathering researchers interested in a broad range of topics in theoretical, mathematical, computational and experimental aspects of contact mechanics.

The symposium addresses a wide panorama of topics in the area of contact mechanics in order to reinforce interactions and collaborations between the various communities:

• Models, friction laws; wear; tribological modeling; cohesive zone models; rolling;

• Emerging computational approaches: methods, algorithms and numerical analysis;

• Mathematical analysis;

• Dynamic contact problems, instabilities;

• Nano and micromechanics of contact and multiscale approaches;

• Multiphysics and thermomechanical coupling;

• Granular materials and rigid bodies;

• Contact modeling in mechanical and civil engineering, biomechanics and geomechanics;
  

• Architected/textured contact interfaces

• Experiments in contact mechanics
  

The locations of CMIS have always been selected with the idea of providing a quiet and private environment to encourage scientific discussions among the participants.

Following such tradition, CMIS 2024 will be held at Domaine Lyon Saint-Joseph close to Lyon in France, a wonderful place, heaven of peace dedicated to study and calm.
