Objective
The Workshop is focused on the interdisciplinary field of material design and modeling at different length and time scales with emphasis on innovative materials, meta-materials and structures.
The main objective of the meeting is to bring together researchers working on the leading edge of applied mechanics, materials science, engineering and physics to further our understanding of the behavior these materials, which may range from the atomic to macroscopic scales. Abstracts related, but not limited, to the following areas are welcome:
- Discrete to continuum variational methods for materials and structures
- Nonlinear dynamics of granular media, geomaterials, biomaterials, innovative metamaterials and structures
- Materials and systems for sustainable infrastructure
- Microstructure engineering and characterization
A special issue of Mechanics Research Communications will collect original, peer-reviewed contributions presented at the Workshop.
