Selected Papers from the 19th International Conference on Experimental Mechanics

International Conferences on Experimental Mechanics, organized under the auspicies of the European Society for Experimental Mechanics (EuraSEM), have a long tradition (1959 Delft, 1962 Paris, 1966 Berlin, 1970 Cambridge, 1974 Udine, 1978 Munich, 1982 Haifa, 1986 Amsterdam, 1990 Copenhagen, 1994 Lisbon, 1998 Oxford, 2004 Bari, 2007 Aleksandropoulis, 2010 Poiters, 2012 Porto, 2014 Cambridge, 2016 Rhodes, and 2018 Brussels). ICEM brings together internationally recognized experts and young researchers in an effort to exchange ideas in different topics having the common link ‘‘Experimental Mechanics“. ICEM acts also as a platform for establishing connections between different research teams that are trying to build and develop future scientific collaboration.

Papers published in the Special Issue “Selected Papers from the 19^th ICEM 2020”, organized in Kraków, Poland, will be focused on experimental and measuring techniques for the thorough study of the mechanical properties of different materials, engineering structures, and systems, investigations that are necessary to create physical foundations and provide verification of analytical or numerical methods in engineering design. The topics of the conference include the experimental aspects of research on mechanical, thermal-mechanical, or dynamic behaviour of various materials; their forming, damage, fatigue, and fracture; advances in optical, ultrasonic, and acoustic testing techniques (photoelasticity, interferometry, DIC, DVC, etc.); sensor technology (strain gage technology, optical fiber application, accelerometers, etc.); and condition monitoring. The ever-increasing importance of energy harvesting methods (photovoltaic, wind, wave, etc.), developments in nanomaterials, nanostructures, composites, smart materials and structures, recycled materials, and additive manufacturing will be addressed during the conference.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
