ABSTRACT
The Minisymposium focuses on non-conventional techniques for solid and fluid mechanics, including experimental, theoretical and computational aspects. The attention is focused on heterogeneous/multiscale/multiphase/multifunctional materials and fluids, and their behaviour especially in the framework of coupled field problems.

Topics:
• Non-conventional theoretical techniques for description of heterogeneous/multiscale/multiphase/multifunctional materials and fluids:
○fractional continuum mechanics,
○tolerance and non-asymptotic modelling,
○peridynamics,
○fractal media,
○nonlocal continuum,
○relativistic continuum mechanics, etc.
• Non-conventional techniques for solving coupled field problems for heterogeneous/multiscale/multiphase/multifunctional materials and fluids (computational aspects including implementation and hardware/software point of views).
• new set-ups for experimental testing of heterogeneous/multiscale/multiphase/multifunctional materials and fluids (miniaturised equipment, digital imaging, etc.)
