What SCMC. Creado por gloyola.cl does

SCMC (Sociedad Chilena de Mecánica Computacional) is a Chilean nonprofit professional society founded in 1995 that operates as the national chapter of the International Association of Computational Mechanics (IACM). The society aggregates academics, researchers, and students from Chilean universities working on mathematical and numerical modeling, finite volume methods, simulation, and computational tools applied to engineering and applied sciences. Its core activities are the annual Jornadas de Mecánica Computacional (JMC) conference series held continuously since 2003 and rotating across Chilean host universities, and the peer-reviewed journal 'Cuadernos de Mecánica Computacional' (ISSN 0718-171X) published annually since 2005. From 2020 onward, the society expanded into webinars and virtual presentations.

The society is governed by a volunteer board of academics drawn from Chilean universities: Dr. Jorge Hinojosa Rehbein (Universidad de Talca) serves as President, Dr. Alejandro Ortiz Bernardin (Universidad de Chile) as Vice President, Mg. Christian Muñoz (UTEM) as Secretary, Dr. Alvaro González Ortega (PUCV) as Treasurer, and Drs. Felipe Galarce, Nelson Moraga Benavides, and Marcela Cruchaga as board members. SCMC maintains international linkages with IACM, Argentina's AMCA, Spain's CIMNE, France's CNRS, and Chile's CONICYT. The society holds legal entity status (Personería Jurídica) under Chilean law via decree n° 552 of September 12, 1997.

SCMC generates operating revenue from annual membership fees (CLP 60,000) and conference registration fees (CLP 120,000 for non-members, free for students). It has no disclosed external funding, no venture backing, and no parent organization. Its 14+ thematic conference axes in 2025 span solid and fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, biomechanics, multiscale systems, high performance computing, and machine learning applications in computational mechanics. The XXIII Congreso Chileno de Mecánica Computacional (C2MC 2025) is scheduled for October 2-3, 2025, at Universidad del Bío-Bío in Concepción.

Core offering

SCMC is a Chilean non-profit professional society that organizes annual conferences (Jornadas de Mecánica Computacional) and biennial congresses (Congresos Chilenos de Mecánica Computacional) on computational mechanics. It also publishes the annual peer-reviewed journal Cuadernos de Mecánica Computacional (ISSN 0718-171X) and runs webinars, society membership programs, and knowledge-exchange activities for academics, researchers, and students in engineering and applied sciences.

Product overview

SCMC (Sociedad Chilena de Mecánica Computacional) is a professional academic society, not a technology product company. The organization does not offer commercial products or services for sale. It is a non-profit society that promotes the development and application of numerical methods in engineering and applied sciences through conferences (Jornadas de Mecánica Computacional), congresses (Congresos Chilenos de Mecánica Computacional), and academic publications (Cuadernos de Mecánica Computacional, ISSN 0718-171X). The society facilitates knowledge exchange among professionals, academics, and students in computational mechanics.

Others

• International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE): Spain-based research center specializing in numerical methods in engineering, listed as a SCMC partner. Comparable as an adjacent international node that drives publications, training, and conferences in computational mechanics.
• Elsevier Computational Mechanics journals: Publisher of the leading peer-reviewed journal 'Computational Mechanics.' Relevant as a publishing venue that SCMC's authors target, framing competitive pressure on SCMC's own Cuadernos.
• International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM): Global federation of which SCMC is a national member. Relevant as the apex body that legitimizes SCMC's activities and provides international reach through IACM-Expressions and the World Congress.

Broad incumbents

• Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM): International society for applied mathematics, hosting conferences and journals (e.g., SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis) that intersect directly with computational mechanics research communities served by SCMC.
• ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers): Global mechanical engineering society with conferences, journals, and divisions in computational mechanics. Compares as a broad incumbent whose portfolio overlaps with SCMC's narrower niche.
• European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS): Europe-wide umbrella organization for computational methods in applied sciences. Comparable as a higher-tier federation that hosts congresses and thematic groups parallel to SCMC's national role.

Direct peers

• US Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM): U.S. national affiliate of IACM. Compares to SCMC as a country-level professional society advancing computational mechanics through conferences, awards, and member services, but at significantly greater scale.
• Asociación Argentina de Mecánica Computacional (AMCA): Argentine national society for computational mechanics and a Latin American pioneer in the field. Directly comparable to SCMC as a sister national chapter under IACM, with the same model of conferences, publications, and academic networking.

Regional players

• Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering (ABCM): Brazilian professional society for mechanical sciences and engineering. Comparable as a Latin American counterpart running COBEM and other regional events that compete with SCMC for regional participation.
• Société Française de Mécanique Computationnelle (CSMA): French national committee for computational mechanics under IACM. Compares to SCMC as a country-level society organizing CSMA congresses and applied-mechanics publications.
