SYMPOSIUM and
ROUND TABLE TOPICS
The symposium will feature plenary, keynote and invited lectures on multiscale material mechanics and multiphysics processes with applications ranging from modern engineering science and technology to biology and medicine. Contributed lectures from young scientists and engineers are encouraged in related interdisciplinary research fields. These may include metals and alloys, polymers and composites, geomaterials and biomaterials, as well as novel materials in thin film and bulk configurations for high energy density storage, optoelectronics and biomedicine applications. Advanced multiscale models on elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, and damage, as well as coupled thermomechanical, chemomechanical, electromechanical, and optomechanical theories are desirable.

- Generalized Continuum Mechanics
- Solid Mechanics
- Gradient Elasticity
- Gradient Viscoelasticity
- Gradient Plasticity
- Gradient Damage
- Nanomechanics
