I'll be at the 7th International Workshop on Direct and Inverse Problems in Piezoelectricit, October 4th - 7th, in Oer-Erkenschwick, Germany. It is a very small town but Moondog lived there for some years. I was at the 5th and 6th Piezo Workshop. It is a small event in a very comfortable atmosphere with very easy exchange to other people. I learned a lot about piezoelectric material there.
Following is the EUROMECH522 "Recent Trends in Optimisation for Computational Solid Mechanics" October 10th-13th in Erlangen. It is an colloquium with invited participants only (as far as I understand). I hope they accept my abstract. I want to talk about self-penalization in topology optimization. I have some new results/observations in addition to the paper On the effect of self-penalization of piezoelectric composites in topology optimization. The dynamic stuff is still an open issue and I have not explored some ideas I had. In case I'll get accepted to EUROMECH522, I'm quite curious about it as I haven not been on such an colloquium before. I hope many Danish topology optimizers come, they are the reference.
For private reasons I won't come to WCSMO-9 :( That is sad as WCSMO-8 was the most important conference for me up to now.
