Eventos

We would like to invite you to participate in the minisymposium entitled �€œNonlocal Models and Methods for Material Failure and Damage Simulation �€� at the 6th European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM 6), to be held jointly with the 7th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECFD 7) on June 11-15, 2018 in Glasgow, UK.

 

The goal of this minisymposium is to bring together a diverse group of researchers working with nonlocal formulations of continuum mechanics, such as peridynamics, nonlocal elasticity and plasticity, and strain-gradient elasticity, as well as with other related nonlocal models, to discuss advances in modeling, computational methods, and numerical simulations.

 

The ECCM 6 conference will be part of the 25th Anniversary of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS), and it represents one of the three main scientific events of ECCOMAS organized every four years. This minisymposium will promote collaboration between various nonlocal communities, and it will also allow further interaction between the European nonlocal community and nonlocal communities in other geographical regions. Further information regarding the ECCM 6 conference and this minisymposium is given below.

Deadline for abstract submission: December 15, 2017​

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Adair Aguiar, University of São Paulo

Mahmoud Mousavi, Karlstad University

Erkan Oterkus, University of Strathclyde

Pablo Seleson, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

TITLE

 

Nonlocal Models and Methods for Material Failure and Damage Simulation

 

ABSTRACT

 

Novel nonlocal formulations of continuum mechanics, such as peridynamics, nonlocal elasticity, strain-gradient elasticity, etc. are now gaining momentum as tools for modeling complex material behaviour. In particular, some of these formulations provide alternatives to traditional PDE-based models for the description of fracture paths and damage progression. Theoretical studies complemented with numerical methods have significantly advanced the field of nonlocal models in recent years and demonstrated the effective use of these models in complex fracture mechanics applications. This minisymposium is devoted to the presentation and discussion of nonlocal models and related computational methods and numerical simulations.
