Venue th The 12 National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics will be held at the Hotel Congress Spa Complex Frederic Joliot-Curie in the beautiful Saints Constantine and Helena resort, Bulgaria, . 23-26 September 2013. It is located on the Black Sea coast, 10 km north of Varna, where the oldest golden treasure in the world, dating to 5,000 BC, was found, and the Black Sea September is perfect for sunbathing on the beach. Accommodation and Transport Congress participants will be accommodated in the Hotel Congress Spa Complex Frederic Joliot-Curie, as well as in other nearby hotels. Please find more details on: http://stconstantine.bg/hotels.php?mid=3 as well as on http://www.ihsvarna.com/. Additional details on accommodation and transport will be available on the Congress webpage. Attendees from countries for which visa is required should contact the organizers for an invitation letter as soon as possible.

The reduced fee will cover participation in all sessions, the Congress book of abstracts and the Congress Proceedings, welcome reception and coffee breaks. 1 A n n o u n cem en t Social Programme Visits to the Varna Archaeological Museum, the medieval Orthodox Christian cave Aladzha Monastery and the town of Balchik will be organized for participants and accompanying persons. A social program will be arranged for the accompanying persons - mini-excursions, half-day tour to Varna, etc. 12th NATIONAL CONGRESS ON THEORETICAL AND APPLIED MECHANICS 23 – 26 SEPTEMBER 2013 Saints Constantine and Helena resort, BULGARIA About NCTAM Since its inception in 1969, the quadrennial congress organized by the National Committee of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and the Institute of Mechanics (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) has become major scientific event, gathering Bulgarian and foreign scientists and engineers from academia and industry. The 12th NCTAM will feature a rich scientific programme providing a perfect opportunity for researchers to present their latest results and exchange ideas on all topics of theoretical and applied mechanics. National Committee of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Institute of Mechanics Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Technical University of Varna Advertising Opportunities, Call for sponsorship Organizations, companies and individuals are invited to become sponsors of the 12th NCTAM. The sponsors will have a good opportunity of placing their banner and text links on the Congress and the Institute of Mechanics (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) websites. They will be able to to circulate advertising leaflets and brochures and organize exhibitions during the event. If you are interested in advertising, please, contact us via e-mail ([email protected]) or phone (+359 2 979 6420). st Secretariat Peter Djondjorov Tel.: +359 2 979 6420; +359 2 979 6478; Fax: +359 2 870 7498 E-mail: [email protected] http://nctam.imbm.bas.bg General The Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that the 12th National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics will be held on 23-26 September 2013 at the Saints Constantine and Helena resort, one of the best beach resorts of Bulgaria. The organizers of the Congress intend to provide opportunities for scientists and engineers working in the field of mechanics to exchange new ideas, discuss current research and establish a basis for future collaboration. We believe that the beautiful nature of the northern seaside will contribute to the friendly and informal atmosphere of the event.

Minisymposia OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: English Conference Scientific Committee Call for Contributions Chairmen: Anguel Baltov (Institute of Mechanics-BAS) Stefan Radev (Institute of Mechanics-BAS) Congress participants are encouraged to submit a paper. Papers are sought for (but not limited to) all topics listed in the Congress Topics. Authors wishing to contribute to the Congress are invited to register and submit electronically up to one-page plain text abstract (4000 characters). The abstract should contain title of the contribution, authors' names, authors' addresses, e-mails. Authors will receive notification of acceptance of their proposed contributions. The book of abstracts will include the accepted abstracts only. The full length papers will be required during the Congress for reviewing. Author's instructions will be posted on the Congress webpage: nctam.imbm.bas.bg. Each participant can submit two abstracts (papers) at most as a single author or in co-authorship. Those who wish to organize mini-symposia on special topics should contact the Organizing Committee by 15 March 2013. The website for on-line registration and abstract submission will be launched on 1 February 2013.
