USACM专题研讨会Meshfree和粒子ethods: Application and Theory

Dear Colleagues:

You are cordially invited to participate in the USACM Thematic Conference on Meshfree and Particle Methods: Applications and Theory

Location:Santa Fe, New Mexico

Time:September 10-12, 2018

Website:http://mfpm2018.usacm.org/

This conference seeks to build a stronger connection between the computationalmechanicscommunities working on novel methods and the communities working on applications and experimentation. The exchange of ideas will enrich method development by cross-pollinating ideas between various computational methods and by keeping researchers informed on the current application needs.

The main focus is on application areas that are challenging or impossible for traditional finite element methods. It is of particular interest to researchers and developers of meshfree, particle, and other versatile methods, as well as practitioners and experimentalists with challenging application spaces including:
• Penetration and perforation
• Shock and blast
• Advanced manufacturing
• Rapid design-to-analysis
•地理科学和自然disasters
• Fluids and fluid-structure interaction
• Multi-scale
• Multi-physics and multi-material interactions.

Additionally, topics that are not focused on applications include:
• Implementation and high-performance computing
• Mathematical theory
• Comparison of related methods
• Verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification.
