On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we have the pleasure of inviting you to the sixth International Conference on Recent Advances in Nonlinear Mechanics (RANM2025), to be held in Hangzhou from 25 to 27 October 2025 (https://www.ranm2025.com/).

The conference series of Recent Advances in Nonlinear Mechanics (RANM) is held every three to five years, the most recent one being the RANM2021(Hangzhou). The RANM conference series, provides an ideal interaction platform for researchers and industry practitioners working in nonlinear mechanics to exchange ideas and progress and advancements made in relevant fields, such as nonlinear solid mechanics and materials, multiscale simulation and modelling, nonlinear and complex physics.

A significant milestone for this prestigious international conference has been reached—the Call for Mini-Symposia is now open (All mini-symposia must be submitted to gan_yong@zju.edu.cn by 31 January 2025). The mini-symposia template can be downloaded here. 

The suggested topics for mini-symposia in the congress include, but are not limited to:

• Nonlinear solid mechanics and materials

• Dynamics, vibration and control

• Fluid mechanics and multiphase flows

• Nonlinear and complex physics

• Waves and solitons

• Dynamical systems and chaos

• Turbulence and shocks in fluids

• Granular materials and composites

• Numerical and analytical methods

• Experimental methods

• Dynamics of systems with friction and impacts

• Nonlinear effects in heavy mechanical machinery

• Energy absorption of novel materials and structures

Should you have any inquiries or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at gan_yong@zju.edu.cn.

We eagerly look forward to welcoming you to Hangzhou next October.
