Conferences

The scientific program will cover formal sessions devoted but not limited to:
Design & Lifecycle:
Composite recycling and sustainability; Part design technology – structural reliability; Composite characterisation methods; Smart structure design – multi-functional composites; Part modelling, fibre matrix interaction; Multi-functional composite parts; Structural analysis and optimisation; Lightweighting
Part Generation:
Manufacturing technologies; Preforming and handling technology; Automation and digital twin; Quality control and process monitoring; Manufacturing process optimisation; Integrated composite structures; 3D composite manufacturing
Part Finishing & Assembly:
Post processing technology; Part finishing technology; Finishing and assembly structural monitoring; Joining technology; Digital assembly; Part machining quality management; NDT and in-process inspection of composites; Machinability; Non-conventional machining; Modelling of post processing

ECF23 focus will be twofold, on dynamical aspects of Structural Integrity and the largely unobserved realm of Integrity loss under dynamical loads as well as the developments of the monitoring technical aspects and their pitfalls as dynamics particularities take precedence over the phenomena we have come to know so well.

The joint 14th World Congress in Computational Mechanics and ECCOMAS Congress is expected to be one of the largest computational mechanics and applied mathematics events ever organized with an expected participation from all parts of the globe, representing multiple sectors, academia, industry and government institutions.

Through the organization of minisymposia, it will both cover the latest developments in all aspects of computational mechanics, computational fluid dynamics and applied mathematics in conjunction with industrial needs as well as emerging ones. This congress shall fully engage computational mechanics in the XXI century.
