PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON STRUCTURES AND GRANULAR
SOLIDS: FROM SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES TO ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS, THE ROYAL
SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, UK, 1–2 JULY, 2008
This Festschrift marks the 60th birthday of Professor J. Michael Rotter, FREng FRSE FICE FASCE FIStructE FIEAust. It was presented at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on 1–2 July 2008 and contains 29 invited papers authored by his collaborators, colleagues, past and present students in 12 countries. Michael’s research has ranged very widely from scientific principles to engineering applications, with a particular focus on the buckling of thin shell structures and the mechanics of granular solids. He has made major contributions and undertaken wide international collaborations over the last 3 decades. The broad area is highly topical with lasting importance for both fundamental scientific understanding and engineering application to challenging problems. The breadth of his contributions is reflected by the wide range of topics covered by this Festschrift. Michael’s seminal book entitled ‘‘Guide for the Economic Design of Circular Metal Silos’’ has been highly regarded and widely appreciated by both researchers and practising engineers worldwide. His enormous contributions in developing the most advanced standards for loading on silos, structural design of silos and design of shell structures will certainly have a lasting impact on engineering practice.
