Minisymposium description:
------------------------- 

For relevant analyses of many important mechanical and physical
phenomena occuring in complex engineering systems or biological ones,
etc., one needs to refine numerically a global coarse scheme and/or to
go into fine scales of materials, structures and interfaces (grains,
asperities, atoms, etc.). Since these complex problems can not be yet
handeled at their most elementary levels, there is a need for mechanical
multi-modelling frameworks and associated numerical methodologies.

This minisymposium aims at grouping (some of the) researchers and
engineers in the field of computational mechanics, working at least on
one of the theoretical, experimental or numerical aspects involved by
the minisymposium theme.

Contributions to the treatment of transmissions and transferts between
models/scales in the static and dynamic regimes and in the nonlinear
frameworks are particularly encouraged.
