Topics and Themes

ICHMM-2011 will combine
regular conferences sessions with a series of panel discussions focused on
fundamental challenges.  Liberal time will be allocated to informal
discussion in the beautiful and relaxing setting of the Chongming Island
forest surrounding the conference site.  To maximize opportunity for
technology exchange, regular sessions will follow a format of a keynote invited
talk, followed by contributed talks and a series of brief oral presentations
with an accompanying panel session.  Regular sessions will address but not
limited to the following aspects of the behavior of heterogeneous materials:

Session
1: Microstructure and Micromechanics
Session 2: Nanostructure and Nanomechanics
Session 3: Special and Unique Properties and Phenomena at Nanoscale
Session 4: Modeling for Stochastic Structures
Session 5: Scale Effects and Multiscale Modeling
Session 6: Multi-Physics Modeling
Session 7: Processing-Structure-Property Relationships
Session 8: Inelastic Behavior
Session 9: Surface and Coating Behavior
Session 10: Materials Design
Session 11: Properties and Characteristics of Bio-Materials
Session 12: Bio- and Nature- Inspired Materials Design
Session 13: Smart Materials
Session 14: Cellular Materials
Session 15: Composite Materials
Session 16: Geological and Infrastructure Materials
Session 17: Damage Analysis
Session 18: Fatigue Analysis
Session 19: Failure Analysis
Session 20: Nano- Submicron Scale Testing via TEM and SEM
Session 21: Non-destructing Testing
Session 22: Experimental Methods related to Modeling
Session 23: Numerical Methods
Session 24: Analytical Methods
Session 25: tribology
Session 26: porous materials
Session 27: materials for energy

Panel sessions will
focus on fundamental challenges in Crystal Plasticity of Microstructures, Key
Interfaces of Materials and Mechanics in Heterogeneous Materials, Time-Scale
Issues in Atomistic Modeling, Critical Path Issues in Materials for Energy, and
Mechanics of Biomaterials.
