Dear colleague,
I would like to inform you about the 1st International Conference on Mechanics of Solids that will take place in Porto, Portugal, 3-4 November 2022 (www.fe.up.pt/ms2022). The conference venue is the campus of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), which offers excellent facilites 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 magnificient location by the Atlantic coast, Porto is the city of the world famous Port Wine and the River Douro.
This conference is held every year. 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.
The scientific committee includes: Alireza Akhavan-Safar (INEGI, Portugal), Andreas Oechsner (Esslingen University, Germany), Aurelio L. Araujo (University of Lisbon, Portugal), Bo Liu (Beihang University, China), Cristóvão M.
