Book of abstracts 2nd International conference on material modelling

During the last decades material modelling has become a field of central scientific importance. With this conference we intend to continue a forum for discussions on a wide spectrum of aspects in the field of material modelling as initiated in 2009 in Dortmund with ICMM1.

Although there exist many workshops, meetings and colloquia on particular aspects, specific materials and particular applications, a coherent conference series dedicated to material modelling in all its various facets was called for. To this end, the aim of the conference series is to bring together researchers from various fields of material modelling to foster bridges between different disciplines including materials science, mechanics, physics, chemistry,... This provides an excellent opportunity for interaction between scientists working in different subareas of material mechanics.
