The main idea of this conference series is to provide a platform for recent advances from mechanics and applied mathematics in a currently very active research domain of multi-scale modelling and computations in solid and fluid mechanics. The latter involves methods which bridge phenomena taking place at multiple scales in space and time and which ought to be placed in interaction or accounted for simultaneously in order to provide the most reliable explanations.
This class of problems calls for the development and combination of different analytical tools (homogenization, asymptotic analysis) and computational methods (parallel computing, stochastic analysis) in order to advance the field towards currently relevant nonlinear applications. A number of different schools have developed in various domains of fluids and solids, both in mathematics and mechanics, with sometimes very little or no interaction between them.
It is an explicit goal of this thematic conference, in the true spirit of CEACM, to bring these different communities together, and thus provide a sound basis for a fruitful exchange of ideas among them.
The conference seeks also to provide a platform for learning from some of the worlds' leading specialists in analysis and design of complex engineering structures and systems, coming from aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering, material science, and in the design and analysis of numerical algorithms from applied mathematics. The main goal is elaborating the multi-field and multi-physics approach, which has significantly modified previously firm frontiers among these traditional engineering disciplines.
The Central European Association for Computational Mechanics (CEACM) association is non-profit organisation, which was established at the University of Leipzig in 1992. The members of CEACM are the national chapters of the following Central European countries: Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia.
