Description of the Symposium by the organizers:

"Dear GDRi network,

the 17th European Mechanics of Materials conference will be held from 27th to 29th of May 2020 in Madrid, Spain. The conference covers several different aspects of mechanics – including experimental methods to understand the mechanical behavior of various materials across all length scales. Part of the conference will be a symposium on “Experimental Nanomechanics” organized by Frédéric Mompiou (CEMES Toulouse, France) and Christoph Kirchlechner (MPIE Düsseldorf, Germany).

The symposium focuses on nano- and micromechanical testing coupled with advanced in situ techniques. Characterization techniques envisioned comprise (but are not limited to) transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and synchrotron-based techniques. The contributions should aim for understanding plasticity, fracture and fatigue at

• grain and phase boundaries
• amorphous / crystalline interfaces
• free surfaces
• multilayered systems
• super lattices

Please note the deadline for abstract submission is on 3rd  of December. December 16th, 2019.

Best regards

Frédéric Mompiou and Christoph Kirchlechner"
