Solid Mechanics
The Symposium on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics evolved from the successful UAE Thermo-Fluids Day. This symposium broadens its focus to encompass both foundational and emerging topics in general mechanics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, biomechanics, and other related fields, such as data-driven and machine learning modeling applied in mechanics. The First Symposium on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics is a forum designed to bring together researchers, scholars, engineers, and practitioners working across all areas of mechanics.
