International Workshop on Nonlocal Mechanics Approaches for Modelling Localized Deformations (NMAMLD 2026), 14–16 December 2026
The International Workshop on Nonlocal Mechanics Approaches for Modelling Localized Deformations (NMAMLD 2026), scheduled for 14–16 December 2026, focuses on advanced modelling techniques for localized deformation, damage, fatigue, and fracture in engineering materials. Nonlocal mechanics incorporates intrinsic length scales to enable accurate, mesh-independent simulation of strain localization and crack evolution under quasistatic, dynamic, and cyclic loading. The workshop will cover integral, gradient-enhanced, and phase-field approaches applied to metals, concrete, and composites. Building on successful editions in 2020 and 2022, NMAMLD 2026 will bring together global experts to share insights, foster collaboration, and advance research in computational mechanics.

Industrial Seminar on Nuclear power plants influenced by disasters: Implications for for small modular reactors (SMR)
The global energy landscape is rapidly evolving, with nuclear power continuing to play a critical role in achieving low-carbon and reliable energy systems. However, major incidents such as the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster and the Chernobyl Disaster have significantly shaped public perception, regulatory frameworks, and engineering approaches to nuclear safety. In this insightful talk, Kenichi Tsuda of Shimizu Corporation will explore how past nuclear disasters have influenced the design, construction, and risk assessment of modern nuclear power plants. The session will focus particularly on the emerging role of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which are being promoted as safer, more flexible, and cost-effective alternatives to traditional large-scale reactors.
