Prof. Marcin Kamiński

Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Engineering, Lodz University of Technology, Poland

Scientific interests concern the so-called stochastic mechanics, reliability analysis, computer methods in mechanics, composite mechanics and the theory of homogenization of random centers. In his work he uses the computational systems of the Finite Element Method as well as the MAPLE computer algebra environment.

Prof. Koichiro Ishikawa

Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering,University of Fukui, Japan

His research interests include Dynamic analysis model of Japanese building structures such as school gymnasia, sports halls, exhibition halls and so on by means of Formian, Formian for generating shell and spatial structures, Seismic retrofit of buildings such as reinforced concrete buildings, Japanese traditional wooden shrines, and timber houses for improving earthquake resistance,Earthquake resistance evaluation of spatial frames. He will speak on “Earthquake resistance evaluation and dynamic performance of spatial frames”.
