meshless methods summer school (Cardiff University, UK)

Dear all,

Cardiff institute of Mechanics and Advanced Materials is organising the first UK Summer School on Meshless Methods in Mechanics on the 29th and 30th of July 2013. The schedule is below.

This summer school, supported by CCP12 and an FP7 ITN (INSIST: http://www.itn-insist.com/index.php?id=6) taught by three visiting professors is tailored to graduate students, researchers and academics. It aims at providing an overview of recent developments in methods alleviating the mesh burden, in particular meshless, gradient smoothing methods and dual/model reduction methods in structural mechanics. Applications will focus on areas where mesh-based methods are challenged by the complexity of topological changes or the limitations due to mesh distortion.

The school is completely free and includes lunches and coffee breaks.

The flyer can be found at http://www.itn-insist.com/uploads/media/CCP12SummerSchool2013.pdf.

Please contact the school coordinator: Dr Nguyen-Vinh Phu: <nvinhphu@gmail.com> in case you are interested in attending. Please provide your name, address, affiliation, and the reason why you are interested in this course.
