Rationale
In
the wake of fast development of new technologies, many areas of
contemporary engineering, that were conventionally divided or loosely
coupled in the previous times, merge together to meet new challenges.
This is very evident specially in the area of contemporary dynamics,
since engineering dynamics is a fundamental technical discipline that
serves as a starting point of many rising technologies in aerospace
engineering, mechanical engineering and naval architecture as well as
many other related disciplines.

 |
|
| By having its origin in continuum mechanics, engineering
dynamics is very often 'theoretical common ground' to various
technologies in different areas of technical application. In the
framework of this environment, by using numerical simulation
technologies, it is possible today to model, analyse and design complex
engineering systems by utilizing mathematical models and
methodologies that classicaly belonged to different fields of applied
sciences. Of course, these possibilities bring up new application
opportunities but also give possibility of gaining new understandings
of fundamental physical phenomena. However, succesfull implementation
of advanced numerical methodologies in domain of coupled problems of
contemporary engineering dynamics rise many questions in terms of
proper use of specific methodologies. |
| Since studying of these phenomena requires modeling of
different types of systems and continuum that come into dynamic
interaction like deformable structures and fluid flow in aeroelastic
and hydroelastic applications or multibody systems with unilateral
constraints and aerodynamic loadings, many approaches attempt to
synthesize optimal methodologies combining different modeling
techniques of computational mechanics. With development and coupling of
existing methods and modeling procedures, the use of numerical
simulation tools is changing from the traditional
'physics-based' approach towards the 'applicationbased' view, where
several physical models co-exist and interact within the same
simulation procedure. |

Objective
The objective
of the symposium is to get together distinguished academics,
researchers and industrial experts to present papers and deliver
invited
lectures on different aspects of modeling of coupled problems in
numerical
dynamics. The aim is to discuss relevant issues in the field and
disseminate
expertise on mathematical models and numerical procedures in
'multi-physics'
into academic, research and industrial community.
|
|
| The
topics on coupled numerical dynamics and 'multi-physics', such as
aeroelastic applications in aeronautical engineering and aerospace,
fluid-structure interaction in mechanical engineering and naval
architecture,
hydrodynamic applications, topics of flexible multibody dynamics,
biomechanics
and control will be covered by invited lectures and submitted
presentations. |
Participants
The targeted
participants are Ph.D. students, researchers and industrial
engineers active in the field as well as students of aerospace
engineering,
mechanical engineering, naval architecture and other engineering
disciplines.
