Description:
The symposium is dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of heterogeneous materials in the fields of mechanics, materials, network science, biology, and biomedical engineering. Its primary focus lies in exploring an array of subject areas within these fields, aiming to bring forth a comprehensive perspective on both established and emerging theories, methods, and technologies.
Key areas of interest for the symposium include:
- Mechanics and Design of Engineering and Natural Heterogeneous Materials: This topic focuses on designing heterogenous materials via mechanics of materials approach. The mechanical properties and behavior of both engineering and natural heterogenous materials will be studied.
- Heterogeneous Materials and Network Science: This topic aims to address the connections between heterogenous materials and network science, focusing on how new heterogenous materials including mechanical metamaterials can be designed via network science approach.
- Bio-Medical Heterogeneous Materials and Applications: This topic covers the development and application of heterogenous materials specifically designed for biomedical purposes. It includes the study of materials that are used in medical devices, implants, and therapeutic applications, emphasizing their compatibility, functionality, and effectiveness in clinical settings.
The symposium seeks submissions that address these topics, offering a platform for researchers and professionals to present their latest findings, engage in discussions, and foster collaborations in these exciting and rapidly evolving fields.
