Special Issue for the 8th International Conference on Material Modeling (ICMM8)
Vol. 44 No. 3 (2024)Preface to the Special Issue on Material Modelling:
The current special issue collects research topics that were presented at the 8th International Conference on Material Modelling (ICMM8), which took place at Loughborough University London on 15-17 July 2024. The conference was organized by Vadim Silberschmidt and his team of the Mechanics of Advanced Materials Research Group at Loughborough University.
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 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. The conference series provides 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.
This biennial conference is the eighth in the ICMM series. The first ICMM took place in Dortmund (Germany) in 2009. The conference since then was held in Paris (France), Warsaw (Poland), Berkeley (USA), Rome (Italy), Lund (Sweden), and Cape Town (South Africa).
Some 120 participants from 22 countries attended the conference. The largest delegations were from UK (39), Germany (22), France (17), India (6) and USA (5). The participation confirms a strong interest in conferences focussing on the modelling and understanding the behaviour of materials.
The next conference of the series - ICMM9 - will be organized in Prague, Czech Republic, in September 2026.

Special Issue for the 18th German-Polish / Polish-German Workshop
Vol. 44 No. 2 (2024)Preface to the first Special Issue on Dynamical Problems in Mechanical Systems:
The current special issue collects research topics that were presented at the 18th German-Polish – Polish-German Workshop in Meißen in September 2023.
The German-Polish – Polish-German Workshop was founded in 1989 by Prof R. Bogacz and Prof K. Popp. Since then, meetings have been held regularly every two years in Poland and Germany to exchange research in the field of applied and dynamical problems. Dynamic problems are ubiquitous in a variety of technical fields and come in various forms, from the vibrations and stability of vehicles to the complex interactions within biomechanical systems. Numerical models and experimental investigations are used to improve the understanding of the interactions and behavior of these dynamic systems.
This special issue brings together a collection of seven studies that tackle a range of dynamical problems in mechanical systems. The first two contributions deal with the evaluation of the dynamics of cargo bikes (1) and the development of a multi-lane cargo bike (2). Representative of tribological systems, the lubrication in the hip joint is investigated in (3), the effects of abrasion particles on the surface topography in (4) and the transport properties of linseed in a press in (5). Finally, two papers deal with experimental aspects, such as the determination of inertia properties using a trifilar pendulum considering nonlinearities (6), and the influence of cyclic forms of loading on the fatigue life of bolted joints (7).
