Welcome to ICCES2026 (August 7-12, 2026) Hong Kong and submit to Symposium S86

Symposium Overview of S86 Mechanics of Energy Materials and Structures

Mechanics plays a vital role in determining the performance of a wide range of energy materials and structures, including lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and related systems. For instance, stresses and strains induced by intercalation or phase transformations are known to significantly affect the capacity, cycle stability, and reaction kinetics in energy storage devices such as batteries. This symposium aims to bring together experts from diverse disciplines to review recent advances in fundamental concepts, theoretical and numerical models, and experimental techniques, while also addressing open questions and major challenges in the field. Contributions are encouraged from experimental, computational, and theoretical studies of energy materials and structures across multiple length and time scales. Notable breakthroughs will be featured through invited presentations. Together, the symposium will serve as a multidisciplinary forum to tackle key scientific challenges and identify future research directions in energy materials and structures.

This symposium will encompass a wide range of topics relevant to the mechanics of energy materials and structures, including but not limited to:

1. DFT, molecular dynamics, phase-field modeling, and (dis)continuum approaches for electro-chemo-mechanical systems

2. Characterization of mechanical properties, degradation mechanisms, and mechanical behavior of energy materials and structures

3. Data-driven methods for energy materials and structures

4. Mechanics-informed material design, optimization, and innovative system designs for enhanced energy system performance

Accepted regular abstracts (greater than 200 words) will be included in the ICCES Proceedings, published on ICCES Online (ISSN: 1933-2815, online). Accepted extended abstracts (short papers of more than 6 pages) and full-length papers (also exceeding 6 pages) will be included in the ICCES Proceedings, published by Springer, and indexed in EI Compendex, Scopus, and Google Scholar for full archival access Selected outstanding full-length papers will be recommended for publication in partnered SCI/EI journals
