TIRADENTES, MG

ABOUT

Welcome to the 6th Brazilian Conference on Composite Materials – BCCM6!

Since its first edition in 2012, the Conference congregates Brazilian and worldwide students, professors, and researchers from academia and industry to promote the recent developments and discuss the challenges in composite materials in Brazil and abroad.

The range of topics is comprehensive, including Damage and fracture; Simulations in composites; Multifunctional structures; Durability and ageing; Mechanical and physicochemical properties of composites; Nanocomposites; Recycling and reuse of composite materials; Experimental techniques; Lignocellulosic composites; Manufacturing and processing of composites; Structural health monitoring in composite structures.

The Conference, in-person-fomat, will be hosted from August 14th to 18th 2022, in the Santíssimo Resort in Tiradentes, a charming and warm-hearted historical city famous for its gastronomy and architecture. Tiradentes was founded in 1718, named after Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, the “Tiradentes”, patron of the Brazilian Republic. Join us in this voyage through the Brazilian colonial history towards the future of the design, manufacture and testing of composite materials.

PROCEEDINGS

Papers presented at the conference are entitled to be considered for publication in the Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering (Springer), as a Topical Collection, and in the  Journal of Research Updates in Polymer Science (Lifescience Global), as a Special Issue, provided they meet the journal standards.
