MPA Conference 2025

Last years seminar was a huge success with great speakers, guests, our carefully picked program committee and all the helping hands.

However, this year is going to be even bigger.

For the first time since it’s start in 1975, the 49th MPA Seminar will be called MPA Conference!

The intricate interaction between materials, processes, and applications is the backbone of innovation and performance optimization. Materials must be carefully selected and designed to meet the specific demands of various applications, considering factors like strength, durability, and thermal resistance. In contrast to their continuum mechanical models, real materials have a real microstructure with imperfections, anisotropy, segregations, discontinuities, pores and residual stresses.

These result from the respective manufacturing process of the material or component and have a significant influence on the material behavior and structural integrity in safety-critical applications.
This dynamic relationship among materials, processes, and applications is a key focal point in advancing several sub-fields in mechanical engineering, with each element influencing the overall success of mechanical engineering endeavors.
