Dear colleagues
As part of the 12th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XII) and 6th Asia-Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (APCOM VI) which will be held in Seoul, Korea on 24-29 Jul 2016, we will be organizing mini-symposium MS610 titled “Multi-resolution Modeling with Generalized Continua”.
The goal of this mini-symposium is to bring together researchers working with the Generalized Continua theory to characterize the micro-processes with additional (higher-order) fields, and to incorporate their collective influence on the global response. With this objective in mind, we invite contributions in (but not limited to) the following topics:
Theoretical and/or numerical framework of generalized continua, e.g.
· Non-local, strain gradient formulations
· Cosserat, Coupled stress, Micromorphic theories
Applications with complex material behavior, e.g.
· Damage and fracture
· Size dependent behavior
·Wave propagation
· Poromechanics
· Hierarchical materials
Scale-bridging framework with generalized continua, e.g.
· Multiscale computational methods
· Homogenization techniques
· Discrete – continuum coupling
The deadline for abstraction submission is 30 Dec 2015. Instructions on the abstract submission can be found at http://wccm2016.org
