Welcome to IUTAM Symposium on Computational Mechanics and Intelligent Engineering

Aims and Scopes 

The IUTAM Symposium on "Computational Mechanics and Intelligent Engineering" is a high-end symposium approved by IUTAM (International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics) to be held in Peking university, Beijing, China from August 20-23, 2026 (https://iutam.org/events/iutam-symposium-on-computational-mechanics-and-intelligent-engineering). 

The integration of computational mechanics and intelligent engineering is reshaping how we model, predict, design, and control complex engineered systems. Physics-based high-fidelity simulations (covering fluids, solids, structures, materials, thermo-chemistry, and coupled multiphysics) now run at unprecedented scales on heterogeneous HPC architectures. In parallel, advances in machine learning and data science enable rapid surrogates, real-time inference, adaptive design, and autonomous decision-making. Yet, fully leveraging these capabilities remains challenging: integrating data-driven models with governing-equation solvers, ensuring interpretability and reliability under uncertainty, generating high-quality training data from simulations and experiments, and deploying scalable algorithms on modern accelerators all impose stringent methodological demands. The IUTAM Symposium on Computational Mechanics and Intelligent Engineering (CMIE 2026) provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to present state-of-the-art results, exchange insights, and debate open problems at this interface. The symposium will spotlight innovations in advanced numerical methods; multiscale and multiphysics modeling; uncertainty quantification and data assimilation; physics-informed and operator-learning approaches; reduced-order modeling; and high-performance computing on cutting-edge hardware. Emphasis will be placed on trustworthy, interpretable AI tightly coupled to mechanics, CAE+AI workflows for design and optimization, and demonstrable impact in real-world applications across aerospace, automotive, energy, biomedical, civil infrastructure, manufacturing, and beyond. By bringing together diverse perspectives, CMIE 2026 aims to catalyze new theory, algorithms, software, and benchmarks that bridge the gap between computational mechanics and intelligent engineering.
