HYPERTOP 2026 – Workshop on Advances in Shape and Topology Optimization for Hyperelastic Materials
Barcelona, Spain
23-25 September 2026

HYPERTOP 2026 is a focused international workshop on Advances in Shape and Topology Optimization for Hyperelastic Materials, hosted at the CIMNE. The workshop aims to bring together researchers working on computational mechanics, nonlinear finite-strain formulations, and optimization methods tailored to hyperelastic materials, with applications ranging from soft structures and compliant mechanisms to biomechanics and advanced manufacturing. Conceived as a small, high-level scientific meeting, HYPERTOP 2026 will emphasize in-depth discussions, presentation of recent advances, and the exchange of ideas on emerging challenges and future research directions in this rapidly developing field.
