Purpose

  • Increase student involvement in the EMI conference, particularly in the area of modeling of inelasticity and multiscale behavior of materials and structures.
  • Expose students to relevant research from different groups.
  • Facilitate student interactions with faculty and other students to build up strong networking and be ready to take on future responsibilities within the technical community.
  • Improve student's technical writing and presentation skills, as well as promote high‐quality submissions to the flagship journal of the EMI: Journal of Engineering Mechanics.

Requirements

  • Be a full-time student at the time of abstract submission and the main contributor to the research.
  • Submit an abstract as the leading author in the thematic area of MIMB to the EMI conference website by the deadline indicated. Submission to the MIMB sponsored mini-symposia is strongly encouraged but not required.
