Numerical Methods in Engineering '92

The European Conference on Numerical Methods in Engineering and the European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics are an initiative of national Scientific Societies of many countries in Europe engaged in these fields. The 122 papers in this volume provide a comprehensive overview on the state-of-the-art in scientific computing applied to engineering sciences, both in and outside Europe. Topics discussed include: Finite element, difference and volume methods; Boundary elements; Stochastic processes; Optimization techniques; Massively parallel and vector computing on new architectures; Software engineering tools; Partial differential and integral equations. Modelization and Applications. Elasticity and plasticity; Nonlinear solid mechanics; Fracture mechanics, damage tolerance; Contact problems; Multibody dynamics; Solidification processes; Composite materials; Fluid/solid interactions; Electromagnetics, scattering and diffraction of waves; Semiconductors, supraconductors.;Containing contributions by some of the world's leading experts, the work will be the definitive reference source for anyone interested in the latest advances and results of current experimental research in numerical methods.
