(First Call for Papers)
The 5th Biennial International Conference on Experimental Solid
Mechanics (X-Mech-2020)
February 18-19, 2020, Tehran, Iran
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.
