Conference Proceedings
The Engineering Mechanics 2026 conference served as an important international forum for presenting and discussing recent developments across the diverse field of mechanics. Its objective was to bring together researchers, engineers, industry practitioners, and postgraduate scholars to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and address pressing scientific and engineering challenges, particularly those that reflect or promote cooperation between Czech research institutions and industry.
The 2026 conference was held in the scenic surroundings of the Žďár Highlands, at Hotel Medlov (close to Fryšava pod Žákovou horou), continuing a long-standing tradition of collaboration between academia and applied practice.
The program featured contributions spanning biomechanics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, fracture mechanics, kinematics, mechanics of solids, mechatronics, reliability of structures, technological processes, and thermomechanics. These presentations reflected ongoing research and active development and, by their very nature, provoked discussion, encouraged interdisciplinary exchange, and inspired new scientific partnerships. Together, they represent a vibrant and essential form of knowledge sharing — one that complements and enriches traditional academic publishing.
