A minisymposium on Meshfree and Particle Methods will be organized for the International Conference on Computational Methods (ICCM) 2010. ICCM 2010 will be organized and hosted by College of Mechanical & Vehicle Engineering,HunanUniversityduring November 19th-21st,2010 inZhangjiajie,HunanProvince,China. Please check the ICCM 2010 websitehttp://dmvb.hnu.cn/ICCM2010for more information about the conference and the venue.
As compared with the finite element method and other traditional mesh-based methods, meshfree and particle methods have shown promising potential as robust spatial discretization schemes without fixed mesh connectivity, and have been successfully applied to those challenging problems involving ultralarge deformation, dynamic fracture propagation, impact and explosion, fluid-structure interaction, and multi-scale and multi-physical phenomena.
We hope that researchers and engineers who have been working on or are interested in meshfree and particle methods could exchange their ideas and research results in this minisymposium. Presentations are solicited in all the subtopics related to meshfree and particles methods, which include but are not limited to the following:
•Mathematical theory and error estimation
•New techniques and improvements
•Code implementation and engineering software development
•Coupling and/or adaptive analysis
•Meshfree/particle-based multiscale analysis
•Meshfree/particle-based optimization and analysis of inverse problems
•Applications with obvious advantages over traditional mesh-based methods
•Modern engineering applications
You are kindly invited to submit a 1-page abstract toyliu.mech@gmail.comby July 15th, 2010. The abstract format (Word orTeXformat) can be downloaded from the website (http://dmvb.hnu.cn/ICCM2010)after May 15th, 2010. Selected papers presented in the minisymposium may be peer-reviewed for possible publication in the International Journal of Computational Methods.
