MECSOL 2024 - 9th International Symposium on Solid Mechanics

 

 

The 9th International Symposium on Solid Mechanics (MECSOL 2024) is a biennial conference promoted by the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering – ABCM, and organized by it's Committee of Solid Mechanics. This edition will be held in Florianópolis, Brazil, from October 21st to 23rd, 2024.

 

The goal of Mecsol 2024 is to be a platform to present and discuss the most recent problems and solutions in the industry and academy in solid mechanics. In this international platform we will gather scientists, students, and professionals in the vanguard of the most challenging problems in these areas. The conference will create productive discussion and collaboration opportunities in its application, experimental, numerical, and theoretical aspects.

 

 

The deadline for abstract submission is 10/03.

Dear Colleagues,

 

We are happy to bring to your attention the creation of , a global competition catalyzing the creation of Emergency Response Flyers. GoAERO is a 3-year global competition with over $2 million in total prizes to build Emergency Response Flyers that will rescue people and perform critical response missions. The competition intends to catalyze the creation of safe, portable, robust, autonomy-enabled flyers that respond to challenges posed by natural disasters, climate change, medical emergencies and humanitarian crises. These flyers will be able to perform missions that cannot currently be accomplished through traditional aerial response vehicles. Competitor teams will benefit from GoAERO’s extensive network of aerospace experts through mentorships, trainings, access to software and much more.

 

We are proud to announce that ABCM has partnered with , along with Boeing, NASA, RTX, Iridium, Xwing ​​and 20+ organizational partners including AIAA, AAMS, AUVSI, RAeS, VFS, ICAS, and 3AF. GoAERO is offering $2+ Million in prizes for the best thinkers, creators, and inventors to build Emergency Response Flyers and stretch and challenge their minds to unlock a new era of disaster and rescue response. These flyers will perform rescue missions and help close a critical gap in emergency response technology.

 

The Challenge: Build a safe, portable, robust, autonomy-enabled flyer that responds to challenges posed by natural disasters, medical emergencies, climate change and humanitarian crises.

 

The Prize: The GoAERO Prize is a three-year competition with prizes over $2,000,000.

 

●  Stage 1 - Best Technical Paper and Project Plan. 10 prizes. $10,000 each. 

●  Stage 2 - Best concept validation— with full scale or subscale flyer. 8 prizes. $40,000 each.

●  Stage 3 - Culminating in a Final Fly-Off with prize awards totaling $1,700,000.

 

Form A Team: The competition is calling on entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, students, and companies to create Emergency Response Flyers that save lives.

 

At each stage of the competition, teams will have access to the world’s leading experts in aviation, emergency response, and business to help innovators along the way, including specialists in aircraft design, systems engineering, fabrication and testing, and funding. Please find more information at .
