Interested in unveiling New Horizons in Solid Mechanics? Please consider attending the IUTAM Symposium on New Horizons in Solid Mechanics: Multiscale Mechanics for Emerging Materials and Structures, to be held January 11-14, 2027, at IIT Madras.
The symposium explores emerging directions in solid mechanics, highlighting the latest theoretical, computational and experimental advances in multiscale modelling, fracture, full-field measurements and data-driven methods for emerging materials and structures. The symposium aims to advance the fundamental understanding of solid mechanics while exploring its potential to address critical societal challenges of national and global significance.
-
Multiscale Modelling: Bridging microscale mechanics with macroscopic material behaviour.
-
Multiphysics & Mechanics: Exploring coupled mechanical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, and electrochemical responses.
-
Fracture: Advancing computational and experimentals techniques to understand crack initiation, growth, and failure.
-
Experimental Mechanics: Using full-field techniques such as DIC and DVC to capture deformation, localization, and damage.
-
Data-Driven Mechanics: Combining machine learning with physics-based modelling to predict material and structural responses.
