SUMMARY:MSE Symposium C05: “Modelling of Small-Scale Mechanical Behaviour and In-Situ Nano-Mechanical Testing”
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract to Symposium C05: “Modelling of Small-Scale Mechanical Behaviour and In-Situ Nano-Mechanical Testing”\, which will take place at the Materials Science and Engineering Conference (MSE) 2026 in Darmstadt\, Germany from 29 Sept – 01 Oct 2026. https://mse-congress.de/ \nAbstract submission is here and deadline is 19. February 2026. \nMechanical behavior at the micron and nanoscale is gaining increasing importance in a wide variety of different materials due to the miniaturization of components and systems as well as the introduction of hierarchical multi-scale material designs. Therefore\, a rapid development of innovative in-situ and small-scale testing techniques is necessary\, which allows further insights in the acting deformation processes and fundamental deformation and failure mechanisms. At the same time\, these small length-scales provide the chance for a direct handshake of experimental investigations and computer simulations. Promoting this link will speed up the necessary development of material physics based\, predictive models of small-scale mechanical behaviour. \nThis symposium will mainly focus on both\, the development\, challenges\, and application of new advanced mechanical in-situ testing techniques as well as simulation methods to foster a better understanding of the local mechanical behavior of different materials and microstructural constituents. Besides possible size effects in the deformation behavior in that scaling regime\, combined experimental\, simulation\, and machine learning approaches are also of special interest and should be discussed. \nTopics of interest include\, but are not limited to: \n\nAdvanced small scale testing techniques (e.g. Nanoindentation\, µ-compression\, µ-tension testing\, µ-bending)\nTesting at elevated and cryogenic temperatures\, under various atmospheres\, such as hydrogen\, in different fields\, e.g. electro-magnetic fields as well as in different environmental conditions\, e.g. corrosive environments or inert environments for e.g. battery materials\nSimulation and modelling approaches to complement small scale mechanical testing\, from the atomistic to the microstructural level; multiscale and multiphysics simulations\nInvestigating and understanding and size effects in the deformation behavior\, including interface mediated deformation behavior and the coupling environment and deformation\nNew testing approaches\, analysis concepts\, and corresponding challenges in the micro and nano scale mechanical testing\, innovative evaluation of localized phenomena by use of digital image correlation\, acoustic and thermal measurements or combined full-field measurements\nCorrelation with high resolution microscopy analysis as well as in-situ and operando testing using optical microscopy\, SEM\, TEM\, APT\, AFM\, Raman\, or X-ray\nMachine-learning and data-science based approaches\n\nWe would be delighted to welcome your contribution and to foster exciting discussions on this emerging materials design strategy at MSE 2026. \n
