Since its inception in 2018, the International Conference on Material Strength and Applied Mechanics (MSAM) has become an important annual event providing a platform for discussion between researchers, scientists, young scholars, and engineers where they can deepen their understanding of the mechanical behaviors of materials under different conditions, It also provides an excellent opportunity for participants to present and discuss their latest analytical, experimental and computational results in the field of applied mechanics.

Organized by Széchenyi István University, the 7th International Conference on Material Strength and Applied Mechanics (MSAM 2024) was held from 29 July to 1 August 2024 in Győr, Hungary. The conference was attended by over a hundred professors, researchers and young scholars from 23 countries worldwide. Internationally renowned experts were invited to deliver keynote and invited speeches, sharing their latest research findings in the fields of material strength and applied mechanics. These distinguished keynote speakers included Prof. Paul H. Mayrhofer (TU Wien, Austria), Prof. Klaus Holschemacher (Leipzig University of Applied Sciences, Germany), and Prof. Giuseppe Carlo Marano (Politecnico di Torino, Italy). The conference consisted of five parallel oral sessions and one poster session, all of which yielded fruitful results in the field of material strength and applied mechanics.

The proceedings of MSAM 2024 contains the 70 accepted papers presented at the conference, all of which were thoroughly reviewed by members of the technical program committee and a panel of invited international reviewers. The selection criteria were based on factors such as relevance to the scope of the conference, applications, research merit, experimental techniques, grammar, etc. This volume is divided into four parts, according to respective topics: strength of materials, applied mechanics, structural mechanics, and biomechanics. The results presented here will benefit the academic community in material science, and in mechanical, automobile, aerospace, civil, and bio engineering, as well as other cross-disciplinary fields, fostering a deeper perception, and addressing the challenges encountered within these disciplines to enable the adoption of appropriate solutions, while also driving innovation and practical applications in technology and industry.

We would like to express our gratitude to the committee members and reviewers from various disciplines who actively participated in the review process, and, on behalf of the conference participants, we thank the conference organizers, local committee chairs, and committee members for their dedication in organizing a productive technical program and an enjoyable social event. Special thanks are also due to Kelly Feng, Conference Secretary, for her valuable facilitating contribution.
