Members of the Computational Mechanics and Visualization Laboratory (LMCV) attended the WCCM-ECCOMAS 2026 (17th World Congress on Computational Mechanics & 10th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering). The event took place in Munich, Germany, from July 19 to 24, 2026.

During the congress, the group’s researchers presented the following papers:
Sequential Approximate Optimization of Functionally Graded Plates using Multi-Fidelity Surrogate Models. L. Ribeiro, M. Sousa, E. Parente Jr., A. Melo, E. Barroso.

Hybrid Physically Recurrent Neural Network Surrogate for Multiscale Analysis of Metal Matrix Composites. V. Pereira Barros, E. Parente Junior, L. Antônio Taumaturgo Mororó, M. Silva Medeiros Júnior, I. Barcelos Carneiro Montenegro da Rocha, M. Alves Maia.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Non-linear Mechanical Behavior of Particulate Composites: A Physically Recurrent Neural Network Approach. B. Silva, L. Mororó, E. Parente Junior, M. Medeiros Junior, M. Maia, I. Rocha.

An Object-Oriented Framework for Finite element and Isogeometric Analysis of Composite Structures E. Barroso, E. Parente Jr., L. Mororó, J. Sousa Jr., A. Melo.
