Experimental Multi-Scale Mechanics

A key question when probing the mechanics of materials is the effect and the extent of interactions between the atomic through continuum length scales. The goal of this symposium is to provide a forum for the discussion of recent experimental techniques and findings in the multi-scale investigations of the mechanics of materials. Presentations discussing multi-scale phenomena and experimental techniques are particularly encouraged in the following areas; plasticity, fracture analysis, dynamic behavior of materials, phase transformations, and novel methods of multi-scale characterization.
