Symposium on "Multiscale Mechanics of Fibrous Materials" MMM 2020

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the mini-symposium titled "Multiscale Mechanics of Fibrous Materials", at the 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling (MMM10), which will be held in Baltimore MD in October 19-23.

This mini-symposium aims to provide a platform for mechanicians, experimentalists and materials researchers working in this area to share their recent findings on the unique properties of fibrous materials. The response of these systems at all length scales, ranging from molecular to macro scale, and the relation between the mechanical response and microstructural features are emphasized. Discrete level simulations, the development of continuum models that capture the global response while being informed by the subscales, statistical methods, and multiphysics aspects are all of interest in this context. Specific subjects include, but are not limited to, tissue mechanics, paper and textile mechanics, non-wovens, polymer networks and gels, the cellular cytoskeleton and suspensions rheology.

The deadline is March 1st, 2020 and abstracts can be submitted at  https://mmm2020-submissions.usacm.org/  .

Please feel free to contact us if you have any question.
