H08-Multiscale Mechanics and Deformation of Metallic Materials

Symposium Introduction

The mechanical deformation and degradation of metallic materials often originate from the coupled physical processes spanning atomic, microstructural, mesoscale and macroscopic length scales, where dislocation activity, grain boundary interactions, phase transformations and heterogeneous microstructure evolution are widely involved. A fundamental understanding of mechanical behaviors of materials across multiscale length scales is therefore essential not only for uncovering new physics of plasticity, but also for opening opportunities for the material design for demanding and extreme environments. 
This proposed symposium aims to bring together leading researchers and emerging scientists from around the world to discuss state-of-the-art progress on multiscale mechanics of metallic materials. Topics will include deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties at different length scales, interface-mediated plasticity, size-dependent behaviors, in-situ multiscale characterization, multiscale theoretical modelling and simulations etc., covering conventional metals and alloys, high-entropy alloys, additively manufactured metals, and nanostructured alloys. 
This session will promote exchange between experimental and computational researchers, highlight unresolved bottlenecks in multiscale modeling frameworks, and foster international collaborative opportunities. Particular emphasis will be placed on engaging young researchers and creating opportunities for interaction with established experts in the field. We welcome oral and poster submissions from both academic and industrial communities.
