Objectives

The 19th edition of the COMPLAS Course on Computational Plasticity aims to provide participants with a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the theoretical foundations, numerical methods, and advanced computational techniques used in the modelling and simulation of nonlinear material behaviour in engineering and applied sciences.

The course combines rigorous theoretical lectures with practical and application-oriented sessions covering key topics in computational plasticity, finite strain mechanics, crystal plasticity, coupled thermo-mechanical processes, multiscale modelling, phase-field methods, and emerging machine learning approaches for computational solid mechanics.

Delivered by internationally recognized experts in the field, the course is designed to foster a deeper understanding of modern constitutive modelling and finite element technologies, while highlighting their application to challenging real-world problems in science and engineering.

The course offers an excellent opportunity for researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals to gain insight into state-of-the-art developments and current research trends in computational plasticity and related areas.
