This book presents a selection of papers from the EUROMECH 357 Colloquium on Material Identification Using Mixed Numerical Experimental Methods. The conference delegates discussed methods for the mechanical characterization of materials with which they work. The papers present a state-of-the-art overview of the methods and implementation for various applications. Starting from the measurement of output values (such as displacements, stresses, velocities, and vibrations) of a real physical test structure, parameters in the numerical model are updated in such a way that computed observations match experimental observations. It is shown that the combined use of numerical analyzing tools and sophisticated measurement techniques has created an extra degree of freedom for the design of experiments and has led to new approaches for material characterization. The book should be suitable for students at graduate level and beyond, and for researchers and professionals in the field of material characterization, material processing and engineering.

This book gathers peer-reviewed contributions presented at the 6th International Conference on Structural and Physical Aspects of Construction Engineering (SPACE), held in Štrbské Pleso, High Tatras, Slovakia, on October 15–17, 2025. Aiming at bringing together researchers and engineers devoting to structural and physical problems in different areas of engineering applications, it covers topics such as static and dynamic analysis of structures, seismic and stability problems of structures, experimental analysis and diagnostics of structures, resistance, durability and reliability of structures, composite materials and structures, failure, creation and growth of cracks, damages and reconstructions of structures, structural, shape and material optimization of structures, fluid mechanics and thermomechanics, transportation structures, and environmental engineering. The contributions, which were selected through a rigorous international peer-review process, share exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.

Euromech 357 took place in the nice authentic monastery ''Rolduc'' in Kerkrade, Holland. The objective was to bring together researchers to present their latest advancements in the relatively new domain of Material properties identification by Mixed Numerical Experimental Methods (MMM). MMM are a modem and increasingly powerful way to determine the values of unknown parameters in a numerical model by observations made on real physical test structures. Starting from the measurement of output values (like displacements, stresses, velocities, vibrations, .. ) of the real physical test structure, MMM try to update parameters in the numerical model in such a way that the computed observations match the experimental observations. It was shown clearly at the colloquium that the combined use of numerical analysing tools and sophisticated measurement techniques has created an extra degree of freedom for the design of experiments and has led to new approaches for material characterisation. The colloquium was attended by 39 participants coming from 12 different European countries. We had 23 oral presentations on the different topics of the above mentioned sessions. Each presentation was followed by an intensive discussion. Du~ to the informal atmosphere and the limited number of participants, the discussions were very lively and fruitful. The opportunity to continue to discuss common problems after dinner in a reserved place was also offered to the Euromech participants. This opportunity and the fact that the monastery was isolated (nobody could escape!) created an excellent platform for discussions and personal contacts.

"e;Touriste de l'existence"e; est un recueil de soixante-neuf poemes lyriques qui mettent en lumiere le vecu d'un auteur atypique. Ils invitent le lecteur a un voyage poetique ou l'onirique cotoie le quotidien, et ou la finesse des mots se mele a la complexite des emotions. Chaque vers, empreint de melancolie et de vitalite, revele la profondeur de la sensibilite humaine. A PROPOS DE L'AUTEURHugo Sol considere la litterature comme un instrument therapeutique. A travers Touriste de l'existence, il partage une vision introspective du monde.
