Abstract:
Composite materials are pivotal in advanced engineering sectors such as aerospace, wind energy, and automotive industries. Their remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, and tunable properties make them indispensable for high-stress applications. However, their inherent heterogeneity and anisotropy pose significant challenges in accurately modeling and predicting their behavior across scales under complex loading conditions.
This minisymposium aims to provide a platform for researchers and industry professionals to exchange insights and recent advancements in computational modeling and simulation of composite materials. Contributions presenting novel theoretical frameworks, numerical methods, and experimental validations, as well as interdisciplinary approaches are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
