Advanced Nanomechanical Testing
Focus Issue: Journal of Materials Research
Issue Date: March 28, 2021
Submission Deadline: August 14, 2020
Description:
Small-scale mechanical characterization is essential for ensuring the service performance and lifetime of small components, such as thin films and coatings, electronic sensors, and MEMS. The first mechanical measurements on the submicrometer scale were enabled by the development of nanoindentation in the 1980s. JMR has long been the flagship journal for this field. In addition to countless contributed articles, previous Focus Issues published over the past two decades have disseminated the latest in method developments and trends in the field.
In addition to providing a long-expected update, this Focus Issue will expand the scope of nanomechanical testing methods beyond classical nanoindentation. Recent years have seen numerous attempts to access specific materials parameters and to better account for the typical operational conditions of the sample of interest. We therefore welcome contributions related to, but not limited to, focused ion beam (FIB) enabled methods, complex loading conditions, in-situ testing, and testing in extreme environments. Application of nanomechanical testing methods to new types of materials are also encouraged. This Focus Issue is a unique opportunity to highlight and share recent significant developments and achievements with the greater nanomechanics community.
Contributing papers are solicited in the following areas:
• Nanoindentation, micromechanical, and nanomechanical testing
• New developments, e.g., for the acquisition of the full stress-strain response
• Application to new types of materials
• Complex loading conditions (cyclic fatigue, fracture testing)
• Extreme testing environments (high and low temperatures, irradiation, high strain rates)
• In-situ testing (in scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, or synchrotron)Guest editors :

Manuscript Submission:
To be considered for this issue, new and previously unpublished results or review articles significant to the development of this field should be presented. The manuscripts must be submitted via the JMR electronic submission system by August 14, 2020. Manuscripts submitted after this deadline will not be considered for the issue due to time constraints on the review process. Please select “Advanced Nanomechanical Testing” as the Focus Issue designation. Note our manuscript submission minimum length of 3250 words, excluding figures, captions, and references, with at least 6 and no more than 10 figures and tables combined. Review articles may be longer but must be pre-approved by proposal to the Guest Editors via jmr@mrs.org. The proposal form and author instructions may be found at www.mrs.org/jmr-instructions. All manuscripts will be reviewed in a normal but expedited fashion. Papers submitted by the deadline and subsequently accepted will be published in the Focus Issue. Other manuscripts that are acceptable but cannot be included in the issue will be scheduled for publication in a subsequent issue.
Please direct questions to jmr@mrs.org.

AFC 2020, ce seront 16 sessions autour des groupes thématiques – biologie, chimie, physique – et des axes transverses – croissance cristalline, enseignement et médiation, grands instruments – de l’AFC ainsi que les sciences de la Terre et toutes les interfaces entre ces disciplines.
Trois conférences plénières, des ateliers, des sessions posters, des plages de rencontres avec les exposants, une conférence grand public, quelques surprises ainsi qu’un dîner de gala sur les hauteurs du fort de la Bastille sont également prévus.
Ce congrès de l’AFC sera aussi l’occasion de la remise du premier prix «André Guinier», des prix de thèse et de la tenue de l’assemblée générale.

We would like to draw your attention to the symposium N on “Advanced small-scale mechanical characterization: strength, plasticity, fracture and fatigue”, which is organized for you with support from the GdRI Mecano Network.
It will take place during the upcoming spring meeting of the European Materials Research Society (Strasbourg, May 25-29, 2020). We are looking forward to your active participation!
Contributions from PhD students are highly encouraged, as several awards are planned for the best student talks and posters of the symposium.
Hot topics:
- Small-scale plasticity, fracture and fatigue testing
- Advances in in-situ and ex-situ micro/nanomechanical testing
- Recent advances in characterization methods, including TEM, SEM, AFM, synchrotron techniques
- Advances in numerical technical methods
- Complex loading situations
- Applications to nuclear materials
- Applications to nano-objects, thin films and bulk nanostructured materials
- Applications to crystalline, amorphous or hybrid materials

Symposium on “ Advanced modelling techniques: scale bridging” at the EMMC17, in Madrid (Spain). It will be held from May 27th to May 29th, 2020.
Short description:
Multi-scale techniques and scale bridging play a key role in connecting the macroscopic behaviour of materials directly to the material microstructure and elementary deformation processes. Many different classes of scale bridging methods have been developed for this purpose, from the atoms to the continuum scale. These generally involve multiple disciplines, e.g., engineering, computational mechanics, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and so on. This session is intended as a forum for bringing together scientists from different disciplines working on multi-scale techniques and scale-bridging problems in mechanics of materials, including both spatial, as well as temporal scales.The topics to be addressed in this session include (but are not limited to):
- homogenization-based methods, e.g. mathematical homogenization, computational homogenization etc.
- atomistic-to-continuum coupling methods (e.g. the quasi-continuum method)
- dislocation Dynamics based methods (e.g. DD-FEM coupling)
- embedded domain methods, domain decomposition methods, global-local techniques
- heterogeneous multi-scale method (HMM), equation-free method
- coarse graining methods
- atomic time scale extension techniques
- methods for phenomena with (partially) non-separating scales, e.g. localization, damage and fracture or transient phenomena
- methods for coupled multi-field phenomena (e.g. thermo-chemo-electro-mechanical etc.)
- model reduction techniques and reduction of computational costs associated with multiscale algorithms

Deadline for the abstract submission is on December 3rd, 2019. December 16th,2019.
