Meshfree and Particle Methods minisymposia at the 2017 USNCCM conference

8/18/2016

0 Comments

 
I will help organize of the Meshfree and Particle Methods minisymposia at the 2017 USNCCM conference, where I will also be the corresponding organizer. My co-organizers are JS Chen of UC San Diego, Zhen Chen of the University of Missouri, and Sheng-Wei Chi of the University of Illinois, Chicago. 

Abstracts are open for submission November 1, 2016 – February 28, 2017 at http://14.usnccm.org/abstract-submission. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
  • Recent advances in meshfree and particle methods, material point methods, partition of unity and extended/generalized methods, smoothed particle hydrodynamics, peridynamics, and generalized finite difference methods
  • Recent advances in domain integration for the Galerkin formulation
  • Strong form collocation methods
  • Rank stability, kernel stability, and other stability issues associated with nodally integrated Galerkin meshfree methods and collocation meshfree methods
  • Recent advances in handling rough solutions in the form of stationary and transient strong and weak discontinuities
  • Recent advances in formulations for extreme material distortion, fragmentation, contact and impact, and material instability
  • Identification of classes of problems for which meshfree methods are superior than conventional mesh-based methods
  • Simulation of multi-phase (solid, fluid and gas) interactions involving failure evolution
  • Simulation of structural responses to extreme loading conditions such as blast, impact, and penetration
  • Simulation of multi-physics phenomena (diffusion, steady state and transient state)
  • Simulation of manufacturing processes
  • Parallel-computing and large-scale simulations
  • Multi-scale simulation of geo-materials, polymer matrix composites, alloys, and ceramics
  • Bio and nano mechanics and material system responses
