This year’s International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics‘ Symposium on Integrated Computational Structure-Material Modeling of Deformation and Failure under Extreme Conditions was hosted by the Whiting School of Engineering and held in downtown Baltimore from June 20 through 22.
Co-sponsored by the United States Association for Computational Mechanics, this event brought together international experts in the field of Computational and Experimental Mechanics, and Materials Science with a goal of developing a 10-year vision statement and planning advancements that will enable solutions for technological, economic, and social challenges.
Topics that were presented and discussed at the symposium included emerging issues such as the range of spatial and temporal scales needed for physics-based modeling of deformation and failure, multidisciplinary approaches for integrating modeling and simulation, characterization and experiments to predict non-homogeneous deformation, and failure in heterogeneous materials including metals, ceramics and composites.
Somnath Ghosh, Michael G. Callas Chair Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, was chair of the organizing committee at JHU. Ghosh is the director of the Computational Mechanics Research Laboratory; the Center for Integrated Structure-Materials Modeling and Simulations; and the Center of Excellence on Integrated Materials Modeling.
