2nd German-Italian Workshop on Computational Mechanics 2023
On September 14 & 15, 2023, CATS had the honor of hosting the 2nd German-Italian Workshop on "Common Research Interests in Computational Mechanics”, bringing together 35 experts from both countries for two days of knowledge exchange and collaboration.
Day one began with a guided tour of the awe-inspiring World Heritage Aachen Cathedral, setting the stage for an enriching program. In the scientific program, we had a total of 19 talks in four sessions, addressing recent topics in computational mechanics.
On both days, the scientific program was started by keynote lectures. On the first day, Ferdinando Auricchio from Università di Pavia presented an overview about recent numerical methods applied to additive manufacturing. On the second day, Stefanie Elgeti from TU Wien and RWTH Aachen University, gave an inspiring presentation with the title “Numerical Design of Engineering Components and their Production Processes”. The evening dinner after the first day and several coffee breaks fostered meaningful networking and connections.
The local organizers Marek Behr and Norbert Hosters thank Sonia Marfia, Stefano de Miranda and Giovanni Garcea for their help in setting up an exciting scientific program and all participants for making this workshop a memorable and insightful experience.
