8th International Conference on Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (ICFSMA 2026)
31 August – 03 September 2026 | Kassel, Germany
The ICFSMA 2026 invites scientists and engineers from around the world to engage in a comprehensive exchange on the latest advancements in ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) and related phenomena. This conference will explore both fundamental studies and practical applications, covering topics such as phase transitions, magneto-mechanical coupling, and new materials, while also fostering collaboration between research and industry.
Main Topics of the Conference:
- Applications and Systems
Focus on the integration of FSMAs into functional devices and systems, emphasizing design principles and performance metrics.
- Fundamental Phenomena and Theory
Addressing the physical mechanisms governing magneto-mechanical coupling, phase stability, twin boundary motion, and related microstructural processes.
- Correlation between Magnetic and Martensitic Transformations
Exploring the interaction between magnetic and martensitic transitions, and their impact on actuation, sensing, and multifunctional behavior.
- New Materials and Materials Design
Development of alloys, compositional tuning, and computational design strategies to enhance FSMA properties.
- Modeling and Simulation from Atomic to Macro Scale
Presenting simulation approaches at different length scales to predict FSMA behavior under various loading and environmental conditions.
- Foams/Constructs and Composites
Investigating engineered FSMA architectures, hybrid constructs, and composite systems, focusing on structure-property relationships.
- Strain Glass and Related Phenomena
Exploring strain glass behavior and its relevance for functional stability and transformation characteristics.
- Thin Films and Microsystems
Advances in FSMA thin films and micro-actuators, including fabrication techniques and performance at reduced dimensions.

ICFSMA Logo You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
