Registration open for attendees to the Workshop on Micromechanics, Statistics, and Hazards of Mechanical Failure that will take place as a virtual event from October 19th to 22nd, 2020.
This interdisciplinary workshop aims to establish a common understanding of the theoretical foundations and the practical characterization of avalanche phenomena and precursors to failure in mechanical systems, stimulating new interdisciplinary collaborations between professionals and scholars working in different areas and contexts.
We will enable additional mechanisms for feedback and discussion on the displays during the workshop.
Please, use this registration form: https://forms.gle/B2Mf4o36q2foSSBo7
Once registered you will receive an invitation to the online oral sessions and display repository. (current participants are already registered)
