Description:
Mechanics serves as a cornerstone for the development of cutting-edge technologies and for advancing global sustainability. From quantum computing to virtual reality applications, and from recycling processes to eco-friendly manufacturing, the field of mechanics provides fundamental theoretical, computational, and experimental frameworks that enable or improve those emerging fields. This symposium aims to bring together experts from the mechanics community to discuss and highlight how mechanical principles underpin innovations that address current and future technological and environmental challenges.
Topics of interest:
- Sustainable Manufacturing and Recycling of Polymers and Metals
- Bio-inspired Next-Generation Eco-friendly Materials
- Sustainable Space Structures
- Multi-physics and Mechanics for Sustainable Water Treatment
- Interface of Mechanics & Quantum Computing
- Role of mechanics in the Development of Virtual Reality Hardware
