1st Colloquium on Theoretical and Experimental Micro-Mechanics

Recent advances in the characterization of mechanical properties at small scales by experimental and numerical methods This colloquium aims for current developments in experimental and numerical methods to characterize und understand the mechanical behavior, influence of interfaces, damage evolution, influence of environment and more at small length scales. New advanced experimental as well as numerical methods will be addressed. The colloquium will take place in the nice city of Metz (Lorraine) in the triangle of France, Germany and Luxembourg. Contributions are welcome.
