2023 Multiscale Modeling in Solid Mechanics 

2-day workshop: 13-14 July 2023

IIT (BHU) Varanasi 

Coordinators: Profs. Srihari Dodla, Debashis Khan & Sandeep Kumar

Brochure Schedule Gallery Website 

Objectives and Topics

This workshop aims to provide a platform for interaction for computational solid mechanics and material science researchers with a specific research focus on finite element-based averaging and multiscale methods. The activity group communicates expert knowledge to young researchers in homogenization and multiscale simulation methods. This workshop, ‘Multiscale Modeling in Solid Mechanics,’ organized by IIT(BHU) Varanasi, will give a specific overview of analytical, experimental, and numerical methods. They can account for microstructural information and be applied for the investigation and modeling of materials, highlighting the actual state of the art in the field. Lectures for the two-days workshop will introduce the class of problems and highlight state of the art in the field.

Topics: Continuum theories for mechanics, Micromechanics and methods of homogenization, and Computational Methods & Multiscale Modelling
