Welcome to the web site of the 2nd International Conference on Mechanics of Solids that will take place in Porto, Portugal, 30-31 October 2024. The conference venue is the campus of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), which offers excellent facilities for high quality scientific interactions. FEUP is located in the town of Porto in the Northern region of Portugal. Porto is a beautiful and lively city, steeped in history and rich in great experiences. With its magnificent location by the Atlantic coast, Porto is the city of the world famous Port Wine and the River Douro.
This conference is held every 2 years. The conference is chaired by António Ferreira and Lucas F. M. da Silva. The focus is on the mechanics of deformable solids, dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. The conference objective is to disseminate the last developments in the field of solid mechanics in a friendly way. Papers related to basic mechanics theory as well as more applied technological aspects are welcome.
Special topics of interest are:
. automatic control theory;
. dynamics of multiple body systems;
. elasticity, viscoelasticity and plasticity;
. fracture mechanics;
. gyroscopes and navigation systems;
. heat transfer and thermal effects in solids;
. mechanical behavior of materials;
. mechanics of composite materials;
. mechanics of granular and geological materials;
. micromechanics of solids;
. nanomechanics;
. numerical techniques;
. optimum design methods;
. stability and optimization of mechanical systems;
. structure-fluid interaction;
. theory of structures and structural stability;
. tribology;
. vibration of discrete and continuous systems;
. wave propagation and impact of solids.
