GAMM 2026 in Stuttgart
From March 16 to 20, the International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM) gathered at the University of Stuttgart for their 96th annual meeting. Our team took this opportunity to present current research results from various fields of mechanics and to engage in deep interdisciplinary dialogue.
Prof. Jaan-Willem Simon spoke in the "Multiscales and Homogenization" section on the multiscale damage modeling of thermoplastic fiber composites for lightweight applications.
Jan Mirco Pfeifer presented results in the "Uncertainty Quantification" section on the stochastic modeling of local variations in packaging paper using spatial random fields.
Finnja Jellen discussed the thermo-mechanical modeling of paper and paperboard in the "Coupled Problems" section.
Lavakumar Veludandi and Reza Vafadari presented their research in the section "Structural Mechanics". Lavakumar introduced a multiscale framework for the shakedown analysis of particle-reinforced metal matrix composites. Reza presented his framework for the shakedown analysis of orthotropic materials.
The conference provided an excellent platform for networking and discussing current scientific challenges. We would like to thank the organizers at the University of Stuttgart for hosting such an inspiring week!
