Symposium on Mechanics and Physics of Material Failure at Multiscale Materials Modeling 10 (Baltimore, Oct. 18-23, 2020)

The 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling (MMM 10) will be held during October 18-23, 2020 at Renaissance Harborplace Hotel, in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The MMM conference series is the world’s largest forum with a particular focus on multiscale materials modeling. 

We are organizing a symposium on the Mechanics and Physics of Material Failure. The symposium serves as a platform to share knowledge gained from experimental, theoretical and computational aspects of damage evolution in advanced engineering materials over a range of length- and time-scales. Modeling frameworks of interest include: atomistic, mesoscale methods (e.g. discrete-continuum mechanics), and homogenization-based continuum micromechanics including problems in multi-physics environments. We welcome approaches that embed statistical features in failure micromechanics. Of particular interest are talks that provide fundamental insights into the physics of failure processes through state-of-the-art experiments, especially those incorporating multi-physics (e.g. thermo- or chemo-mechanical) coupling, full-field data acquisition, and advanced microscopy. 

We encourage you to participate at the MMM 10 by contributing a talk at our symposium. The submission link is https://mmm2020-submissions.usacm.org/  and the due date for abstract submission is March 01, 2020. We look forward to your participation in this symposium at MMM10.
