Title	Non-interpenetration of Matter  in Lower-Dimensional Structures
Abstract	Non-interpenetration of matter is a well-known challenge for solid elastic materials combining analytical and geometrical aspects. In the bulk model, at least on the conceptual level, non-interpenetration is quite understood even if many challenges still remain open. In lower-dimensional structures (plates, rods), the situation seems to be even less clear.  Focusing on rods in the plane, we will introduce a possible concept of non-interpenetration and show a density and $\Gamma$-limit result.  This is a joint work with B.~Bene\v{s}ov\'{a}, D.~Campbell, and S.~Hencl (all from Prague).
