Nanoscale Phenomena & Low-dimensional Materials
GGFrontiers in Mechanics of Advanced Materials across Length Scales
This symposium explores how mechanics across length scales can guide the design of advanced and nanoengineered materials. Integrating experiments and modeling, it connects local deformation and failure mechanisms to macroscopic performance, durability and function.
Scope:
Advanced and nanoengineered materials must combine mechanical reliability with functional performance under demanding operating conditions. Their deformation and degradation are governed by defects, interfaces, phase transformations and microstructural evolution, making links across length scales essential to materials design. This symposium examines how composition, processing and architecture can be tailored to control deformation and degradation while maintaining material function. Micro- and nanomechanics connect local mechanisms to strength, ductility, wear, fatigue and fracture. Correlative and operando measurements link mechanical response with microstructural evolution and chemical, electrical, thermal or optical properties. Contributions that bridge length scales to guide materials design for durability and function are particularly welcome. Materials of interest include nanostructured and architectured materials, thin films and coatings, structural alloys and 2D systems, with applications in energy conversion, storage, transport and generation, electronics and other emerging technologies.
This symposium focuses on the structural and mechanical behavior of advanced materials across different length scales, emphasizing the link between local deformation, failure mechanisms, and overall performance. Topics include nanoindentation and micromechanical testing, in situ and operando methods, diffraction- and imaging-based strain or microstructure mapping, interface and thin-film mechanics, nano-architectured and 2D materials, additive and advanced manufacturing, chemo-mechanics, and materials under coupled thermo-mechanical, chemical, or irradiation conditions. By integrating experiments, characterization, modeling, and data-driven approaches, the symposium aims to provide a comprehensive platform for understanding, predicting, and qualifying advanced materials from a truly multiscale perspective.
Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:
- Materials design across length scales;
- in situ/operando nanoindentation, SEM, TEM, AFM, synchrotron and X-ray testing, residual stress;
- Multiscale deformation, fracture and failure from atomistics to crystal plasticity and digital twins.
- Size effects, plasticity and scaling laws in crystalline architectured, multiphase, amorphous, granular, 2D and functional materials.
- Mechanical/structural properties of Interface-dominated materials,
- Coupled mechanical and functional properties;
- Processing, mechanics and durability.
- Mechanical/structural properties of additive manufactured components.
