Center of Excellence in Experimental Solid Mechanics and Dynamics,

School of Mechanical Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology

The 5th Biennial International Conference on Experimental Solid Mechanics (X-Mech-2020) is being

organized by the Center of Excellence in Experimental Solid Mechanics and Dynamics affiliated to the

School of Mechanical Engineering at Iran University of Science and Technology.

The objective of the conference is to establish a forum for exchanging the ideas in the field of

experimental solid mechanics. The 5th International Conference on Experimental Solid Mechanics (X-

Mech-2020) will be held during Feb. 18-19, 2020 in the campus of Iran University of Science and

Technology in Tehran, Iran.

Selected presented papers in the conference will be considered for publication in

refereed journals.

TOPICS:

Different topics in experimental solid mechanics and dynamics including but not limited to:

Elasticity and Plasticity Impact mechanics

Experimental stress analysis Adaptive and smart structures/materials

Fatigue and durability Engineering acoustics and vibrations

Fracture mechanics Identification of mechanical systems

High strain rates loading Noise and vibrations

Advanced materials & composites Rotating machinery/condition monitoring

Micro and Nano-materials Shock and vibration testing

Optical techniques Structural dynamics

Vehicle dynamics Mechanics of thin films

Robotics Biomechanics

Nondestructive Evaluations Nano-mechanics

THE CONFERENCE LOCATION, Tehran: Excavations place the existence of settlements in Tehran as far back as 6000 BC. The best feature of

the city is the magnificent Alborz Mountains with an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level range on

the northern side, covered with snow usually from November to May. Tehran is a city of all four seasons

with hot summers, freezing winters, and brief springs and autumns.

The highest peak in the country, MountDamavand (5,678 m), which is an extinct volcano covered in

snow for most of the year with its visibility from Tehran has an attractive appeal for adventurers and

climbers. Tehran, with a population of around 14 million, is the biggest city in Iran and one of the

largest cities in the Middle East, comparable in size with London and New York. The city is very lively

in days, and the population is very young. There are many quality museums to visit and plentiful good

restaurants to dine in. People are very friendly especially towards foreigners, and the majority of the

young generation has a good command of English.

International participants require an “Entry Visa”.

CONFERENCE LANGUAGE: English is the official language of the conference. All papers will be published and presented only in

English.
