The aim of EMMC-14 is to bring together researchers working in various fields of material mechanics and with different background (engineering and applied mathematics as well as physics, chemistry etc.). Mathematical modeling, computational methods and experimental techniques are included. The research efforts may concern material properties and mechanical response of any type of engineering and natural material, and they may be relevant to different scales in space and in time. In other words, contributions are welcome on any mechanics of materials issue, on the macroscopic down to the atomic-quantum level.
