Conferences

The main event organized by ECCOMAS is its biennial European Congress, providing a rendezvous for scientists and engineers from within Europe and around the globe. The main objective of these congresses is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art developments in scientific computing applied to engineering sciences. Equal emphasis is given to basic methodologies, scientific development and industrial applications. The ECCOMAS Congress includes invited lectures, invited Special Technological Sessions (STS), contributed papers from Academy and Industry and organized Minisymposia.

ECCOMAS Congress 2022 is a sequel to the successful previous ECCOMAS congresses in Brussels (1992), Paris (1996), Barcelona (2000), Jyväskylä (2004), Venice (2008), Vienna (2012),Crete (2016), Paris (2020, online)

The conference will be held on one of the most emblematic hotels in Funchal, authored by the genius of Oscar Niemeyer, the Casino Park Hotel. The huge offer of hotels in Funchal provides the necessary conditions for every sort of visitors, constituting an invaluable argument for the organization of a large conference such as ECF.

Thematic Symposium “Integrity of Biomedical and Biological Materials” will be organised by Technical Committee 14 of the European Structural Integrity Society (Chair - Prof. V. Silberschmidt) within the framework of ECF23.
The aim of this Symposium is to bring together specialists in mechanics and micromechanics of materials, applied mathematics, continuum mechanics, materials science, physics, biomechanics and medical engineering to discuss latest developments and trends in characterisation and testing protocols for biomedical materials as well as biological tissues and organs (both in vivo and in vitro), constitutive equations of their behaviour and advanced numerical simulation schemes.

The aim of the conference is to bring together physicists, mathematicians, materials scientists, and engineers from academia and industry, and to provide a platform for the presentation of creative and novel research findings facilitating an interchange of ideas and providing guidance for future research direction. The scope of the conference is broad and covers the full range of fundamental, experimental and applied research in stress and vibration analysis, such as:

materials characterisation
measuring and modelling residual stresses
damage assessment
monitoring and control
multi-functional and smart structures
multi-scale analyses
damping materials
mechanics of advanced materials under vibro-impact loading
sensor development
full-field optical systems for experimental analysis
development and application of modal analysis
inverse methods
advances in the finite element and boundary element methods.

WCCM is expected to be one of the largest congresses on Computational Mechanics, with an expected participation from all parts of engineering and science, including academia, government and industry. Computational Mechanics has become a major scientific discipline, underpinning the current advanced engineering and scientific problems. The congress provides a further opportunity to find "Pursuing the Infinite Potential of Computational Mechanics," by adding new topics such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, safety and environmental problems, disaster prevention and mitigation, energy and resource engineering, verification & validation, industrial applications and so on.
