Descrizione

Mechanics of Materials stands at the intersection of theoretical and applied mechanics and engineering, unveiling the rationale behind mechanisms and processes in natural media, conceiving effective mathematical approaches for analysing discrete structures and continuous media, and underpinning innovations in structural design — from passive to active and biological systems that harness energy-driven responses for adaptive functionality — and performance optimization in advanced manufacturing.

This mini-symposium emphasizes the critical need for robust analytical methods and general modeling strategies enabling the interpretation and prediction of complex mechanical behaviors — including nonlinear elasticity, viscoelasticity, poroelasticity, damage, fracture, and instability — across soft and hard materials, architected structures, and active/biological matter that might inspire man-made mechanical systems. Ultimately, contributions on how to take advantage of such advancements to conceive and design next-generation composites with tailored properties for transformative applications are very elasticity, viscoelasticity, poroelasticity, damage, fracture, and instability — across soft and hard materials, architected structures, and active/biological matter that might inspire man-made mechanical systems.

Ultimately, contributions on how to take advantage of such advancements to conceive and design next-generation composites with tailored properties for transformative applications are very welcome.

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.

Descrizione

The mini-symposium aims to bring together theoretical, computational, and applied contributions devoted to the development and application of multiscale approaches and methods for the advanced modeling of materials and structures, including in the presence of
uncertainties. The focus is on the modeling and analysis of problems across different scales of observation and on the associated coupling procedures, from the micro- and nanostructural levels up to the macroscopic response, with particular reference to analytical, computational, and probabilistic homogenization techniques, micro–macro strategies (including FE² and hierarchical methods), reduced-order models, and discrete–continuum coupling approaches.

The mini-symposium welcomes contributions on multiscale localization phenomena, instabilities, damage, and fracture, as well as on scale effects and unconventional behaviors of advanced materials and structures, including nanomaterials, nanocomposites, metamaterials, and nanostructures. Particular attention is also devoted to uncertainty quantification and its integration within multiscale modeling frameworks. Special emphasis is placed on multiphysics modeling, characterization, and design of functional materials and innovative systems, also in the presence of complex couplings among mechanical, physical, structural, and probabilistic phenomena.

Aree di interesse

The objective is to foster interaction among the communities of:

• Materials mechanics
• Computational mechanics
• Stochastic mechanics
• Multiscale mechanics

by promoting interdisciplinary exchange on advanced methods for modeling, simulation, and design, with attention to both theoretical developments and emerging engineering and industrial applications.
