The objective of the 29th International Workshop on Computational Mechanics of Materials is to bring together researchers and specialists from academia, industry and government from all over the world to discuss latest advancements and new trends in various areas related to computational mechanics of materials. The workshop is intended to cover all aspects of modelling, simulations and analyses of the mechanical behaviour at different length and time scales. It will provide a platform for discussion of deformation, fatigue and fracture mechanisms under different loading and environmental conditions. The materials of interest range from traditional materials such as metals, alloys, polymers and composites to advanced materials and bio-materials. Plenary lectures, mini-symposia with keynote lectures and regular presentations will be the workshop highlights.

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:
