Overview
The 8th International Symposium on Damage Mechanics of Materials and Structures (SDMMS2025). This symposium is conducted by the Computational and Experimental Mechanics (CEM) Research Group, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). SDMMS2025 will be held from the 9th to 11th of September 2025 in Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. This conference provides lots of networking opportunities to scholars, academia, and practitioners in damage mechanisms in materials and structures from local and international. Therefore, we invite you to visit our website https://www.ukm.my/cem/sdmms. This conference also associated with the Pre-Conference Workshop Series by our Expert in the Mechanics and Structural Integrity Fields. This Workshop Series provide lot of networking opportunities to scholars, academia and practitioners in damage mechanism in materials and structures locally and internationally.
