Aerospace and Associated Technology : Proceedings of the Joint Conference of the International Conference on Theoretical, Applied, Computational and Experimental Mechanics (ICTACEM), Asian-Pacific Conference on Aerospace Technology and Science (APCATS), A

The International Conference on Theoretical Applied Computational and Experimental Mechanics is organized every three years by the Department of Aerospace Engineering IIT Kharagpur. The conference is devoted to providing a platform for scientists and engineers to exchange their views on the latest developments in Mechanics since 1998. ICTACEM Conference is aimed at bringing together academics and researchers working in various disciplines of mechanics to exchange views as well as to share knowledge between people from different parts of the globe. The 8th ICTACEM was held from December 20-22, 2021, at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.
