COMPLAS 2023 is the 17th conference of the COMPLAS Series.

The COMPLAS conferences started in 1987 and since then have become established events in the field of computational plasticity and related topics. The first fifteen conferences in the COMPLAS series were all held in the city of Barcelona (Spain) and were very successful from the scientific, engineering and social points of view. We intend to make the 17th edition of the conference another successful edition of the COMPLAS meetings.

The objectives of COMPLAS 2023 are to address both the theoretical bases for the solution of nonlinear solid mechanics problems, involving plasticity and other material nonlinearities, and the numerical algorithms necessary for an efficient and robust computer implementation. COMPLAS 2023 aims to act as a forum for practitioners in the nonlinear structural mechanics field to discuss recent advances and identify future research directions.

COMPLAS 2023 is a Thematic Conference of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) and a Special Interest Conference of the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM).

The conference will be dedicated to celebrate the 70th birthday of Prof. Eugenio Oñate.
