Due to the current situation of Covid 19, the conference is postponed to 5 and 6 November 2020.
The 3rd International Conference on Materials Design and Applications 2020 will take place in Porto, Portugal, 25-26 June 5-6 November 2020. The conference venue is the campus of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), which offers excellent facilities for high quality scientific interactions. FEUP is
located in the town of Porto in the Northern region of Portugal. Porto is a beautiful and lively city, steeped in history and rich in great experiences. With its magnificent location
by the Atlantic coast, Porto is the city of the world famous Port Wine and the River Douro.
This conference is held every two years in Porto and chaired by Prof Lucas F. M. da Silva.
The focus is on fundamental research and application areas in the field of the design and application of engineering materials, predominantly within the context of mechanical engineering applications such as automobile, railway, marine, aerospace, biomedical, pressure vessel technology, turbine technology, etc. This includes a wide range ofmaterials engineering and technology, including metals, e.g., lightweight metallicmaterials, polymers, composites, and ceramics. Advanced applications would include manufacturing in the new or newer materials, testing methods, multi-scale experimental and computational aspects (e.g. micro- and nano-scale techniques).
