Abstract
An outlook and overview on fundamental and translational research including converging technologies that are the primary drivers of the 5th Industrial Revolution will be presented, followed by the new developments in mechanics, computation, 4D printing, smart systems/sensors, manufacturing, nano-, bio-, information-technologies. Convergence of these disruptive, translational and transformative technologies will be discussed. Topics include solid mechanics, nano mechanics/materials, smart materials, multi-scale problems and simulation methods.
