Queen Mary University of London and University of Oxford are proud to host the 2025 Annual Conference of the UK Association for Computational Mechanics, in London

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

Computational Solid Mechanics:

Solid mechanics, Structural dynamics,  Computational plasticity, Contact mechanics, Damage mechanics, Electromagnetics, Finite deformation mechanics, Fracture and failure mechanics, Materials engineering, Geomechanics, Material/constitutive modelling, Composite Materials, Metamaterials, Hierachical materials, Bio-insipred materials, Shape-morphing materials, Multi-functional materials,  etc.

Computational Fluid Mechanics:

Fluid mechanics, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Fluid-structure interaction, Turbulence Modelling, Porous media/porous flow/coupled analysis, Multiphase Flow, Aerodynamics, Hydrodynamics, Heat Transfer in Fluids, etc.

Numerical Methods:

Boundary elements, Finite elements, GPUs and HPC, Instability analysis, Isogeometric methods, Large scale linear algebra, Mesh generation, Meshless methods, Multiscale modelling, Particle-based methods, PDE & SPDE solutions, Phase field-based methods, Peridynamics, Topology optimisation, FE2 method, etc.

Multi-physics Modelling:

Multi-physics coupling, Biomechanics/Bioengineering, Heat transfer, Wave propagation, Modeling Manufacturing Processes, Modelling the Additive Manufacturing Process, etc.

Data-driven Methods:

Artificial neural network, Physics-informed neural network, Neural Operators,  Bayesian machine learning,  Convolutional Neural Network, Recurrent neural network, Transfer learning, Generative Adversarial Network, Data-driven inverse design, 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.
