Particle and Continuum Aspects of Mesomechanics 
Mesomechanics 2007

This title brings together a variety of papers presented at the 9th
annual Meso meeting in 2007. The topics selected for Meso 2007 are
designed to illustrate the relation of thresholds to multiscaling:

* Flow through capillary tubes in contrast to pipes

* Laminar and turbulent flow transition

* Heat convection of thin wires in contrast to cylinders

* Electrical conductance of macro- and nano-circuits

* Rubbery and glassy polymers

* Single- and poly-crystal behavior

* Strength of wires and round cylindrical bars

* Uni-axial and multi-axial material: linear and non-linear
response

* Thin and thick plate behavior

* Brittle and ductile fracture

* Small and large crack growth behavior

* Low and high temperature effects

* Local and global material property characteristics

* Small and large bodies: size and time effects

* Specimen and structure
