Descrizione

Organized jointly by the AIMETA Groups of Biomechanics (GBMA) and Mechanics of Materials (GMA), this mini-symposium aims to gather recent advances on the mechanics of biological, bio-inspired and biomedical materials. The focus is on the experimental characterization, theoretical modelling and computational analyses of living tissues, engineered biomaterials, and nature-inspired composites, with emphasis on their multiscale structure–property relationships.
Contributions are welcome on constitutive modeling, failure/repairing mechanisms, as well as multiphysics and mechanobiological couplings involving stress, growth, remodeling and morphogenesis. Particular attention is devoted to innovative bio-inspired hierarchically organized materials, eventually including active behaviors, selfhealing processes, stress shielding or toughness phenomena.
The mini-symposium also encourages studies bridging fundamental mechanics with biomedical applications, such as implants, prostheses, tissue engineering scaffolds, and advanced medical devices. Overall, it aims to promote crossfertilization between Biomechanics and Mechanics of Materials communities, fostering discussion on emerging challenges and future research directions.
