AIAS2026 Ph.D. Summer Course

Every year, AIAS organizes a summer school for Ph.D. students on a technical topic of prominent interest in the field of stress analysis and mechanical engineering design. This year's focus on "Advanced Experimental Multi-Scale Methods" addresses the critical challenge of characterizing and understanding material behavior across different length scales. From nanoscale phenomena to macroscopic structural response, multi-scale experimental approaches enable researchers to bridge the gap between microstructural features and engineering performance. By combining cutting-edge testing techniques—such as nanoindentation, digital image correlation, acoustic emission, and in-situ microscopy—with advanced data analysis and modeling strategies, this theme provides essential tools for materials development, damage assessment, and failure prediction in aerospace, energy, biomedical, and civil engineering applications. The integration of multi-scale experimental methods drives innovation in material design, structural integrity assessment, and the development of next-generation engineering systems.
