Objectives

The scope of the 8^th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on the Mechanical Response of Composites - COMPOSITES 2021 is the scientific investigation of complex mechanical behaviour of composite materials and structures. The conference focuses mainly on theoretical and numerical modelling and prediction of the performance of composite components, also covering experimental validation and challenging industrial applications or recent developments.

Conference Topics:

• Continuum Damage Mechanics
• Delamination
• Dynamics
• Fatigue
• Fracture Mechanics
• Impact
• Meshless and Novel Numerical Methods
• Micro-mechanics
• Model Identification
• Multi-scale Modelling
• Multifunctional Materials
• Novel Materials
• Optimisation
• Laminated and Textile Composites
• Probabilistic Methods
• Progressive Failure Analysis
• Reduced Order Models
• Stability
• Structural Health Monitoring
• Virtual Testing and other related themes
