Dear colleagues,
We are currently inviting abstract submissions to our symposium “Molecular scale modeling and experimentation” at the Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference and Probabilistic Mechanics & Reliability (EMI/PMC) Conference that will be hosted in Chicago, IL on May 28-31, 2024.
The symposium will seek papers on fundamental and applied research in molecular scale modeling and experimentation and their applications to engineering mechanics and materials characterization. Models and experimental techniques that enable atomistic control or assessment of mechanistic behavior or are based on novel mechanical responses are particularly interesting. Some of the topics included in the symposium but not limited to are:
1. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to evaluate the mechanical behavior of materials,
2. Molecular simulations of transport phenomena, including diffusion, electrical and thermal transport, and coupled behavior,
3. Ab initio and DFT computations for potential field development,
4. Techniques to bridge molecular scale responses to higher length and time scales,
5. Hybrid modeling approaches, combining atomistic representations with non-atomistic elements
6. Spectroscopy techniques to evaluate molecular-scale interactions and conformations,
7. Single-molecule force spectroscopy, including Atomic force microscopy, lateral force spectroscopy, etc.
The deadline for submission is Dec 31, 2023. To submit an abstract (ours is symposium MS 0115), please go to https://www.emi-conference.org/call-abstracts
