From March 29 to 31, 2019, the 2nd International Conference on Modeling in Mechanics and Materials (CMMM2019) was held in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. The conference was hosted by Suzhou University of Science and Technology and co-organized by Fuzhou University and Henan Polytechnic University. More than 360 experts and scholars from China, the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa and Hong Kong and Taiwan participated in the conference.
The President of the conference, Prof Liu Jinmao of the City University of Hong Kong introduced the purpose and organization of the conference and welcomed the arrival of experts and scholars. The conference invited six key reports, namely Nanostructured Steels with Superior Mechanical Properties for Structural Applications by Prof Liu Jinchuan from the City University of Hong Kong, Energy Harvesting from Ocean Waves by Piezoelectric Technologies by Prof Wang Quan from Shantou University, Feature-Driven Topology Optimization by Prof. Zhang Weihong from Northwest University of Technology, Mechanobiology of Solid Tumors by Prof Feng Xiqiao from Tsinghua University, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics-Recent Development in Methodology and Applications by Prof Liu Moubin from Peking University, Multiscale Coarse-Graned Modelling for Biomechanics and Materials by Prof Gu Yuantong from Queensland University of Technology, Australia. Their wonderful report caused strong reaction and praise from the participants.
In the eight different topics, more than 320 experts and scholars conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions on their research results and frontier progress. This conference provides a platform for researchers to conduct in-depth exchanges on the latest research progress in material modeling in the fields of energy, fire safety, civil engineering, marine, mechanical and aerospace engineering. Through academic exchanges and interactions, we will explore the frontier issues of mechanics and materials development, and explore new ways to solve the bottlenecks in mechanics and materials in the above fields.
