It is the aim of the Microstructure Mechanics Working Group to provide an exchange and information forum for experts working on the mechanical behavior of materials based on their microstructure.

The influence of the microstructure on the mechanical properties (microstructure/property correlation) is of central importance. In addition to the two- and three-dimensional modelling of global material behavior, an important role is played by the elucidation of local deformation processes that precede damage initiation and failure in single- and multiphase materials. In particular, the development of new simulation methods for the investigation of fundamental and application-oriented questions in materials mechanics is in the foreground.
