CONTEXT

Middle East Technical University (METU) is happy to welcome the XIII European Conference on Constitutive Models for Rubbers (ECCMR 2024), in Istanbul, Turkey, from June 26th to 28th, 2024.

This biennial series is the premier rubber research and technology event worldwide. The previous conferences (Vienna 1999, Hannover 2001, London 2003, Stockholm 2005, Paris 2007, Dresden 2009, Dublin 2011, San Sebastián 2013, Prague 2015, Munich 2017, Nantes 2019, and Milano 2022) were highly successful and attracted an increasing number of participants from both academia and industry in the field of elastomer technology and science.

ECCMR 2024 will be located on the Bosphorus, the border between Europe and Asia. This location offers a unique view of historic Istanbul, the Golden Horn, and the Bosphorus, and is the closest spot to Asia.

TOPICS

The Conference aims at gathering the community of researches from industry and academia interested in the field of elastomer technology and science to discuss the most recent advancement in the following topics:

• Constitutive models
• Micro-structural investigations
• Experimental methods and characterization
• Advanced computational techniques for elastomers
• Fatigue and fracture
• Aging
• Rheology and processing
• Industrial applications
• Smart elastomer materials: applications and modelling
• Recyclable elastomer systems: design and modelling.

Authors will be able to submit an abstract for an oral contribution or a poster from September 2023.
