Keynote title

 Does flexibility always reduce fluid-induced stresses in structures ?

Emmanuel de Langre is a Professor of Mechanics in Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, France. He received his Ph.D. in Fracture Mechanics in 1984 and then worked until 1997 as an engineer in the French nuclear industry. He then joined Ecole Polytechnique to start a group on fluid-structure interactions. He is presently the Chief Editor of the Journal of Fluids and Structures. His present research interests are in the broad field of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and include plant bio-mechanics, energy harvesting based on FSI, vortex-inducedvibrations, wind effects and aeroelasticity.
