The Department of Engineering of Durham University  is proud to host the 2024 Annual Conference of the UK Association for Computational Mechanics.

The conference provides a forum to present recent advances in computational mechanics in, but not limited to, the following areas:

Biomechanics/bioengineering, Boundary elements, Composites, Computational Plasticity, Contact mechanics, Damage mechanics, Electromagnetics, Finite deformation mechanics, Finite elements, Fluid mechanics, Fluid-structure interaction, Fracture and failure mechanics, Geomechanics, GPUs and HPC, Instability analysis, Isogeometric methods, Large scale linear algebra, Material/constitutive modelling, Mesh generation, Meshless methods, Multiscale modelling, Multi-physics, Particle-based methods, PDE & SPDE solutions, Phase field-based methods, Porous media/porous flow/coupled analysis, Solid mechanics, Structural dynamics, Thermomechanics, Wave propagation, etc.

This is the main conference in the UK offering an annual forum for academics and researchers to present their research on developments in Computational Mechanics, being an ideal opportunity for the fostering of ideas and the establishing of new collaborative research links, helping to build strong research networks within UK and at an international level.  Previous conferences have proved to be successful technical meetings, with their relative informality contributing to extensive discussion and the presentation of new concepts and ongoing research. They are particularly useful events for drawing together people from different disciplines and providing young researchers with opportunities for presenting their work.
