Conferences

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.
