Deadline Extended: Call for Abstract Submission to the EMI-PMC 2020: Computational Methods and Applications for Solid and Structural Mechanics

Dear Colleagues:

Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference(EMI2020) and Probalistic Mechanics and Reliability Conference(PMC2020) will be held at Columbia University in New York City, May 26-29, 2020 (https://www.emi-conference.org/). As a part of this conference, we are organizing a mini-symposium “Computational Methods and Applications for Solid and Structural Mechanics”, to provide a forum for discussing novel computational methods and their applications that pertain to solids and structural mechanics problems. In particular, contributions on the following topics are of significant interest: 

§  Novel computational methods for contact, fracture, interface modeling and other important engineering problems.

§  Application of deep learning in predicting the mechanical behavior of materials

§  Multiscale modeling and methods for heterogeneous materials including composites, concrete, wood, and others.

§  Novel discretization techniques for complex constitutive models and complex geometry

§  Multiscale modeling and methods for structural mechanics problems.

§  Computational methods for time dependent structural and material response (collapse, creep, fatigue, etc.).

§  Modeling of multiphysics phenomena (e.g., coupling of mechanics with electromagnetic, chemical, or transport effects).

§  Solution techniques, error estimation, algorithmic analysis and convergence studies in computational mechanics.

We cordially invite you to submit your abstract for this mini-symposium. Please note that the deadline for abstract submission is extended to Jan. 31st, 2020. You can submit your abstract using the following link (our session is listed as symposium 251):
