SACAM2025 – call for abstracts
Location: University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
Date: 21-23 January 2025
SAAM invites you to present your work at SACAM 2025.
The 14th South African Conference on Computational and Applied Mechanics (SACAM2025) will be held at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg from 21 to 23 January 2025. Note that the conference will be held one week earlier than previously announced.
The SACAM and AfriComp conferences are held every second year under the auspices of the South African Association for Computational and Applied Mechanics (SAAM), and the two conferences will be held in alternate years in future. SACAM provides a forum for presenting and discussing the latest developments in applied mechanics. We aim to bring together scientists, engineers and applied mathematicians from academia and industry to encourage scientific exchange of ideas and opportunities in applied mechanics. The conference provides a unique opportunity for postgraduate students to engage with the community, and postgraduate students’ participation is especially welcome.
SACAM2025 will accept full-length paper submissions for peer review, and if accepted, publication in the conference proceedings after the paper is presented at the conference. In addition, recent results can be presented without submitting a full-length paper. Both types of submissions will require the submission and acceptance of an abstract.
Details of abstract submission, including templates, are available on the conference website sacam.co.za.

Material modelling has become a field of high scientific importance in the last decades. Although there are many workshops, meetings, colloquia, etc. on specific materials and particular applications, an ICMM conference series is the only one dedicated to material modelling and its various aspects. To this end, the aim of the ICMM conference is to bring together researchers from various fields of material modelling and material characterization and to cover all aspects of material modelling. It will provide the opportunity for interaction with and exchanges between scientists working in different subareas of mechanics of materials who otherwise would not come into contact with each other.
The African Conference on Computational Mechanics (AfriComp) is a conference series with the main objective of providing a forum for researchers and students in computational mechanics on the African continent to interact with members of the computational mechanics community from around the world. In this way the conference series is seen as a key initiative aimed at promoting computational mechanics in Africa. Technical papers are invited on topics from any area of computational mechanics.
The Call for Abstract & Minisymposium Proposal Submissions is now open!
15th International Conference on Industrial Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics
Location: Trondheim, Norway
Date: 11-13 June 2024
SINTEF is pleased to announce the next event in the conference series – 15th International Conference on Industrial Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics. The event will happen in Trondheim June 11-13, 2024. This is an early announcement. Call for papers will be announced later. The conference web page is given in this link.
Past events
During the past decades, computational mechanics has become a field of central scientific importance, spanning all fields of science. This conference series is dedicated to bringing together delegates from across the globe to promote computational and applied mechanics on the African continent and worldwide.
7th International Conference on Material Modelling
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
Date: 29 November-2 December 2022
The 7th International Conference on Material Modelling will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, arguably the most beautiful city on the planet. This biannual conference is the seventh in the successful ICMM series. The first ICMM took place in 2009 in Dortmund, Germany. The conference has since then been organized in Paris, Warsaw, Berkeley, Rome, and Lund in Sweden. Held for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere, ICMM7 will bring together researchers from around the world, who are involved in the various fields of material modelling and material characterization.
