The inaugural Nonlocal Mechanics Approaches for Modelling Localised Deformations (NMAMLD) short course was held at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) from February 19 to 21, 2020. This foundational event bridged classical continuum mechanics with advanced nonlocal computational frameworks, focusing on material damage, fracture, and shear banding through expert instruction from Prof. J. N. Reddy, Prof. Arun Srinivasa, and Dr. Amirtham Rajagopal.
