Dear Colleagues, Students and Professionals: We are inviting you to send an abstract to the Mini-Symposium: “MULTI-SCALE MODELLING OF MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES"(Objectives: Most modern materials and structures owe their advanced properties to the underlying engineered material microstructure. Microstructural effects play a determinant role in the behavior of heterogeneous materials, since material mechanics on the smallest scale determines the macroscopic or structural response. An-in depth understanding and realistic prediction of the complex and possibly nonlinear behavior of such materials (e.g. lightweight lattice micro structured materials, foams for aerospace applications, composites in general) and structures (e.g. reinforced concrete structures in civil engineering) through numerical simulations is of obvious and growing importance. This usually requires the development and use of (nonlinear) multi-scale methodologies that build a bridge between the scale of the material micro structure and the scale of the structure. Contributions are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas:– Upscaling methodologies: same or different material representations on different scales (e.g. discrete-to-continuum, continuum-to-discrete), concurrent computing schemes, domain decomposition methodologies, computational homogenization;– Parallel computational solution of multi-scale problems;– Their applications to specific microstructural configurations and materials;– Their incorporation in engineering applications.) within the CILAMCE 2016, which will be held at Brasília, DF, Brazil, from November 6 to 9, 2016. The event will be hosted by the Graduate program in Engineering Material Integrity (PGINTEGR) of the University of Brasilia (UnB), and the Brazilian Association for Computational Methods in Engineering (ABMEC). Please take a look at the homepage http://2016.cilamce.com.br/ to find updated information about the Cilamce 2016. Call for Abstracts and Papers: Abstracts are invited by May 17, 2016. For details about formats and the submission procedure, please visit the conference website (http://2016.cilamce.com.br/abstract-submission/ ). We look forward to seeing you in Brasília!
