Between June 13 and June 16, 2022, the second edition of the International Conference on Nonlinear Solid Mechanics (ICoNSoM) was held at the lecture halls of the Santa Chiara Complex of the Department of Architecture, Design and Urban Planning of the University of Sassari, in Alghero – the Catalan pearl of Sardinia.
The international event, which
brings together scientists and scholars from all over the world, is sponsored
by the International Research Center on Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex
Systems (M&MoCS), University of L'Aquila, Italy; the McGill University,
Montreal, Canada; the University of Sassari, Italy; and the University of
L'Aquila, Italy.
The purpose of the conference was
to provide an international opportunity to communicate recent developments in
various areas of nonlinear solid mechanics and materials.
The event included plenary
sessions with international speakers held at the impressive "Gavino Ballero" Civic Theater in Alghero while the mini-symposia were held at the Department of
Architecture, Design and Urban Planning venues in the heart of Alghero's
historic center, in a beautifully restored building.
Among the many international high-profile
scholars who participated in the conference were as plenary speakers: Professor Saïd Ahzi
(University of Strasbourg, France), Professor Gregoire Allaire (Centre de
Mathématiques Appliquées École polytechnique), Professor Zdenek Bazant
(Northwester University, USA), Professor Maria Farsari (Institute of Electronic
Structure and LaserFoundation for Research and Technology-Hellas), Professor
Gerhard A. Holzapfel (Graz University of Technology, Austria), Professor
