Disciplinary Bases


The following are the disciplinary underpinnings of Computational Mechanics deemed to be important in the present and near term future. They include theoretical foundations, physical and mathematical modeling, numerical simulation methodology, and computer implementation. Contributions in these areas are encouraged. The list is not meant to be all inclusive.

Boundary element methods Computational fluid dynamics Constitutive modeling
Dynamics, shock and vibration Error analysis and mesh adaptivity Finite element methods
Finite volume methods Integrated CAD systems Inverse problems and system identification
Mathematical foundations Mesh generation Meshless methods
Multiphysics Parallel computation Postprocessing and visualization
Solution algorithms Stochastic mechanics Thermodynamics and transport
