This is the 28th edition in the series of biannual conferences arranged by the Swedish National Committee for Mechanics since 1974. The conference takes place from 17 to 19 June 2024 and will cover analytical, experimental, numerical as well as pedagogical/educational studies in the broad field of mechanics.

Chalmers University of Technology is honored to host the 28th Swedish Mechanics Days (SMD 2024). The conference provides an excellent opportunity for both senior researchers and PhD students to present and share ongoing research in the broad field of mechanics.
