Scientific Objectives
During the last decades material modelling has become
a field of central scientific importance. Although there
exist many workshops, meetings, colloquia, etc. on specific
materials, and particular applications, here a single
conference dedicated to material modelling with all its
various facets is intended. To this end, the aim of the
ICMM conference is to bring together researchers
from the various fields of material modelling and
materials characterization. The intention here is to cover
essentially all aspects of material modelling. This will
provide the opportunity for interaction among and
exchange between scientists working in different
subareas of material mechanics who otherwise would
not come into contact with each other.
Main Topics:
- Linear elasticity and viscoelasticity
- Nonlinear elasticity
- Plasticity and viscoplasticity
- Strain gradient approaches
- Nonclassical approaches like Cosserat and micromorphic
- Atomistic/continuum transition on nanoscale
- Granular materials and particle systems
- Biomechanics and biomaterials
- Electronic materials
- Heterogeneous materials
- Coupled field problems
- Creep, damage and fatigue
- Experimental identification and material characterization
This conference is the third in the ICMM series. The first ICMM took place in 2009 in Dortmund, Germany; the second in 2011 in Paris, France.
