I have been invited to help co-organize a minisymposia at the Engineering Mechanics Institute conference (EMI 2017) in San Diego next year June 4th - June 7th. My co-organizers are Jason Roth of ERDC and J.S. Chen of UC San Diego.
Abstracts can be submitted here starting October 1, 2016 until January 1, 2017. The minisymposia will solicit all subjects related to computational methods and related experimental V&V for the study of extreme events, which include, but are not limited to, the following: * Method and algorithm development for the simulation of problems involving harsh dynamic loading, high strain-rate, large material deformation, fracture and failure, or material breakup * Fluid-structure interaction in disaster dynamics and material/structure failure * Multiscale approaches to extreme material failure and disaster simulation * Constitutive modeling and characterization of materials under high strain rate * Constitutive modeling and characterization of disaster debris fields * Simulation of multi-phase flow fields resulting from disaster events * Applications of computational methods to simulation of natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and landslides * Applications of computational methods to simulation of manmade disasters like blast and penetration * Computational investigations on infrastructure resiliency to include predictions of residual strength and prevention of progressive collapse * Computational and experimental investigations on high-rate damage and failure mechanisms in semi-brittle geomaterials like concrete * Computational and experimental investigations on soil liquefaction, foundation failure and debris flow * Verification and validation of disaster simulation models * Numerical algorithm implementation and simulation software development * Large scale parallel computation and scalable algorithms |
