Pre-nominated sessions

These are intended to cover all aspects of mechanics. A list of topics selected for pre-nominated sessions is given below, but papers on other topics are equally welcome. Each contributed paper will be presented either as a lecture (15 minutes plus discussion) or as a seminar presentation (3 minutes), the latter accompanied by a poster.
