8th. World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM8) and the 5th. European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS 2008)
to be held at the Lido Island in Venice (Italy) on 30 June - 4 July 2008
The congress will take place at Venice Convention Center located in the lagoon island of Lido. Capital of art and culture, Venice offers not only a fine professional venue for an event but there is also the added bonus of enjoying the beauty of one of the world's most unique cities.
LSAME.08 - Leuven Symposium on Applied Mechanics in Engineering
March 31 - April 2 2008, Leuven (Belgium)
The Noise and Vibration Research Group of the K.U.Leuven is proud to announce the first edition of the Leuven Symposium on Applied Mechanics in Engineering. This symposium is dedicated to state-of-the-art developments in the world of applied mechanics in engineering. The first edition focuses on two specific domains of numerical modelling in applied mechanics. The Trefftz.08 workshop is devoted to the application of Trefftz based methods in engineering. The NDM.08 workshop concentrates on the application of non-deterministic numerical modelling techniques, with specific focus on applied mechanics in engineering.
This project addresses methods for numerical simulation of dynamic behaviour of structures. Current industrial procedures for structural product analysis employ deterministic finite element models. But it is generally acknowledged that deterministic models are often oversimplified. Non-deterministic modelling procedures take into account aspects of uncertainty and variability. Scientific research in numerical methods in engineering has brought forward a number of very capable methods to model the effect of variability or uncertainties on technical characteristics of products.
