XXII International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics XXII International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Abstracts book Edited by Jim Denier, Matthew Finn and Trent Mattner The abstracts of the papers in this volume were set individually by the authors. Only minor typo- graphical changes have been made by the editors. The opinions, findings, conclusions and recom- mendations expressed in this book are those of the individual authors. Abstracts book ISBN 978-0-9805142-0-9 CD-ROM proceedings ISBN 978-0-9805142-1-6 Congress web site http://ictam2008.adelaide.edu.au iii Preface The International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, held in Adelaide, Australia is the twenty-second ICTAM. The idea of holding regular congresses devoted to the field of mechanics can be traced back to a conference on problems of fluid mechanics, held in Innsbruck, in 1922, and organized by four of the founding fathers of modern fluid dynamics, C. W. Oseen, T. Levi-Civita, T. von K´arm´an, and L. Prandtl. Although it attracted only thirty people, this conference provided the spark that led to the first ICTAM held in Delft in 1924 and organised by J. M. Burgers and C. B. Biezeno. This conference was so fruitful that the organisers decided to arrange similar meetings in the future, every four years, and to extend the scope of the future meetings to include solid mechanics. The organisation of successive congresses was placed in the hands of a Congress Committee. During the sixth congress, held in Paris, the idea arose of a more permanent organization to look out for the world interests in the mechanical sciences. Thus IUTAM, the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, was formed on 26 September 1946. In 1947, IUTAM became a member of ICSU, the International Council of Scientific Unions, itself founded in 1931. The highest authority of IUTAM is the General Assembly, with delegates from the Adhering Organizations, each of which is affiliated with a national learned society in a given country. Contemporary mechanics incorporates fundamental problems from pure science and has strong links into modern technology. It pervades many areas of scientific endeavour, including oceanography, physical chemistry, biology, medicine, geophysics and astrophysics. We hope that this meeting will continue to spread the ever-expanding pool of knowledge in the mechanical sciences and continue to contribute to the advancement of mutual human understanding. The 22nd International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics comes to Adelaide, Australia at the invitation of the Australian Academy of Science, in conjunction with the University of Adelaide and the Flinders University of South Australia. We hope that this, the first IUTAM Congress to be held in the Southern Hemisphere, will continue to stimulate a new generation of researchers to seek out the solutions to many of the challenging problems facing us, and continue to stimulate developments in this area. We would like to thank all the contributors of this Congress. We are sure that your contribution of up to the minute research will make the Congress a roaring success. Welcome to Adelaide!

Choshu the clan or han, in present day Yamaguchi Prefecture, which playcd a decisivc role with others, including Satsuma, in opposing Shogunal power in the 1860s. Choshu mcn were inftucntial in the Meiji government. daimyo Feudal lord who held land assessed at 10000 Koku or more. Thcre werc thrce categories, shinpan daimyo who were hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa clan, [udai daimyo who had no blood ties with the Tokugawa family but who had been serving it before it obtained the position of shogun, and tozama daimyo who fitted neither of thc other two categories.
