GACM is please to advertise the NL26 COURSE Nonlinear Computational Solid & Structural Mechanics. The objective of the course is to provide engineers, graduate students, researchers, and industrial users with a review of numerical techniques and solution algorithms for nonlinear mechanics. The course will introduce the current state-of-the-art and cover some scientific trends in finite element modeling of nonlinear problems in computational mechanics and will highlight the difficulties (and possible solutions) in a number of applications.

We are excited to invite you to AQMCSE 2025 – the first conference on applied quantum methods in computational science and engineering – which will take place on 8-10 October 2025 in Aachen, Germany. AQMCSE is not just another quantum conference but it specifically aims to bring together the quantum industry and academia to discuss applied quantum methods that target real-world applications from the computational sciences. Fields like fluid dynamics and structural analysis, optimization, materials science, scientific machine learning, cryptography, and more stand to benefit from the breakthroughs shared at AQMCSE. With this first-of-its-kind thematic conference, we aim to create a platform where participants can exchange ideas about the non-orthodox, creative ways of using quantum devices in hybrid configurations. By pooling expertise from various fields, we can unlock the full potential of quantum technology.

GACM is pleased to advertise the CISM-ECCOMAS Advanced course “Opportunities and Challenges of Quantum Computing in Computational Mechanics” coordinated by Matthias Möller (Delft University of Technology) and Fabian Key (Technical University of Vienna) which takes place in Udine, Italy, from May 1-5, 2024

The course is offered in a hybrid format, allowing participants the flexibility to attend either in person or remotely via the Microsoft Teams platform. Admission to on-site attendance is granted on a first-come, first-served basis to comply with the capacity of the lecture room.

Quantum Computing (QC) is an emerging technology that holds the potential to revolutionise the way we will be solving computational mechanics problems in the future.

This advanced course provides a gentle introduction to the basic principles of quantum computing and discuss es a large spectrum of quantum and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms and their applications in computational Mechanics.

The course primarily addresses students and practitioners from industry and academia with backgrounds in the mechanical sciences who want to know more about the opportunities and challenges of quantum computing as an emerging computing technology to solve challenging problems in the (near) future.

The conference aims to provide an international forum for researchers and scientists focused on modern computational techniques and applications in contact mechanics. This event will facilitate the exchange of ideas, insights, and innovations, fostering collaboration and synergy among experts in the field.

Participants will have the opportunity to discuss recent advances, explore interdisciplinary applications, and identify future research directions that will propel computational contact mechanics forward. Sessions on specific topics will feature keynote lectures delivered by leading experts in various sub-fields, setting the stage for in-depth discussions and knowledge sharing.
