CONFERENCE SCOPE AND TOPICS
EUROMECH Colloquium No. 427 seeks to bring together European
research groups working in structural and multibody dynamics. As such,
the Colloquium hopes to promote and encourage the presentations dealing
with the interdisciplinary research in dynamics. In order to facilitate
a fruitful exchange of new ideas between different communities, the central
stage will be reserved for the topic of common interest, computational
techniques, theoretical formulations and important application fields.
The scientific program will cover all aspects of Dynamics
with emphasis placed on the following topics :
A. Computational techniques (Discretisation
techniques in time and space; Adaptivity, accuracy and error estimates;
Adaptations of algorithms and methods; Computational capabilities and efficiency)
B. Theoretical formulations in structural
and multibody dynamics (Mathematical analysis of dynamical systems; Coupled
transient problems; Multiscale dynamics, Modeling of damage and fracture)
C. Engineering Applications (Structural
response to environmental loads; Dynamic contact and collision; Dynamic
integrity of structures, Dynamic response of flexible multibody systems;
Computational models for dynamic and pseudo-dynamic testing)
CALL FOR PAPERS
Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract of
approximately 500 words (2 pages) to Professor Adnan Ibrahimbegovic by
March 1, 2001, containing the title of the proposed communication,
the full address and the name of the corresponding author, with e-mail.
The authors are encouraged to indicate to which main conference topic (referenced
with letters A to C) their contribution should be related.
Submission can be either by mail, fax or e-mail (see
address below).
