Applied materials like metals and solid-state polymers consist of multiple phases. Material inhomogeneity leads to inhomogeneity in mechanical properties as well as mechanical load and/or external field couples back to internal phase-structure. This symposium will focus its attention on the modeling of applied materials at the microstructure and grain structure levels. Special emphasis shall be given to the effect of chemo-mechanical coupling and the prediction of properties based on microstructural criteria.
We invite contributions concerned with microstructural-driven phenomena such as
The symposium summarizes the final results of the DFG Priority program 1713 “chemomechanics.de” and welcomes all foreign contributions.
