A mini-symposium at COMPLAS 2025 will be organized in Barcelona from 2 to 5 September, 2025 (https://complas2025.cimne.com) titled:
Nanoscale Origins of Plasticity in Modern Nanostructured Materials: a COST MecaNano Minisymposia
In the spirit of MecaNano COST Action (https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA21121), this Minisymposia aims at illuminating the challenges in modelling plasticity in modern nanostructured materials, and in particular:
– Identify and understand size effects and characteristic length scales,
– Discuss simulation challenges to promote the use of the most effective (robustness, highest throughput) techniques.
Simulation technics of interest include, but are not limited to:
– Atomistic (Ab initio and classical potential),
– Continuum/Discrete Dislocation Dynamics,
– Phase field, FFT-based approaches
– Multiscale approaches,
– Machine learning / data-driven approaches.
More details can be found online: https://complas2025.cimne.com/event/area/3424d339-907e-11ef-b344-000c29ddfc0c
Thanks to the support of the MecaNano COST Action network, financial support (registration, travel, etc.) can be provided to successful applicants at this Minisymposium.
Eligible applicants from COST member countries: more specifically for Integration Target Countries (ITC) and for Young Researchers and Innovators (YRI).
The call Conference Grants will soon open on the MecaNano website: https://mecanano.com/
The abstract submission deadline is on March, 1st, 2025 but feel free to already inform us if you plan to participate to this MS.
