The objective of the 18th conference is to provide a forum for researchers to discuss the state-of-the-art in Mechanics of Solids, Fluids and Thermomechanics, this particularly in connection with problems under investigation in the Czech Republic. Problems of Engineering Mechanics related to the contemplated topics can be discussed, and their solutions presented, during the sessions of the Conference, held at the Hotel of the ŽĎAS, a.s., situated in the beautiful countryside of the Žďár Highlands.

EM2012 aims to provide an forum for researchers, industry practitioners, engineers and postgraduate scholars to promote, exchange and disseminate knowledge and experiences of the most recent results and advances in a wide range of topics in Engineering Mechanics, including, but not limited to:

• Biomechanics
• Fluid Mechanics
• Kinematics
• Mechatronics
• Thermomechanics
• Dynamics
• Fracture Mechanics
• Mechanics of Solids
• Reliability of Structures
• Historical Structures

All of the posters exhibited at the Conference will be accepted into the competition for the prize of the general manager of the ŽĎAS company. Proceedings are going to be submitted to Thomson's ISI database.
