Motivation
The New Challenges in Computational Mechanics - NCCM 2016 conference is unusual in that it has a dual overarching objective.
On the one hand, it is a celebratory conference, on the occasion of Pierre Ladevèze’s 70th anniversary in which the participants will honor Pierre Ladevèze and recognize his numerous, important, and sustained contributions to the field of computational mechanics.
On the other hand, NCCM 2016 will provide a venue for the exchange of ideas and latest research results in Computational Mechanics. Organizers would like to promote Pierre’s favorites:
- Verification
- Validation
- Damage and fracture, composites
- Multiscale computational methods
- Inverse problems, identification
- Stochastic modeling and uncertainties
- Dynamic from low to high frequencies
- Virtual testing
- Robust design
The workshop is of course also open to new ideas in all other exciting topics of Computational Mechanics.
It will bring together scientists and engineers belonging to the Computational Mechanics community in order to discuss the main recent advances in the field.
Discussion sessions will give the opportunity to debate the future of Computational Mechanics with respect to science and industry.
