The field of structural and solid mechanics and homogenization has witnessed exciting advancements in recent years, driven by the possibility of designing materials on the basis of ensembles of structural elements.
This event, New Horizons in Structural Mechanics, Elasticity, and Homogenization will take place from July 28 to 31 at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca and it is organized together with the University of Trento and the University of Cambridge.
The aim of the event is to explore the latest developments in these interconnected fields, shedding light on the cutting-edge techniques and applications shaping the future of engineering and design. Topics will include the role of architected and smart materials, metamaterials, metastructures, and adaptive structures, advancements in nonlinear elasticity, and multiscale homogenization techniques.
The event will also be an opportunity to celebrate the 85th birthday of Professor John R. Willis.
