The workshop on Advancements in modeling and testing of mechanics-coupled problems is the closing event of the HORIZON-MSCA-PF project NEW-TECH.
The general aim of the workshop is to gather researchers and PhDs, working on mechanics-coupled problems, to share their knowledge and experiences in this filed.
Presentations addressing the following topics are particularly welcome:
• Response of materials and systems involving physics-, bio-, and chemo-mechanics coupling
• Bio-inspired materials and metamaterials
• Auxetics, origami, and kirigami metamaterials
• Mechanics of gels
• Piezoelectric materials
• Dielectric materials
• Highly deformable materials
• Shape memory materials
• Active and responsive materials
All materials are concerned, particularly: polymers, gels, biomaterials, ceramics, sintered materials, etc.
Beyond the scientific presentations, a discussion session to promote idea exchange and to propose new research directions will be organized in the afternoon.
