Special issue: Containing papers presented at the symposium on Advances in computational mechanics, Austin, TX, USA, January 12--15, 1997. Vol. 1 (Q1387948)

The articles of this volume will be reviewed individually. From the preface: We have organized the preceedings into five volumes and several sections. The structure is as follows: Vol. 1: Innovative methods with applications to structural mechanics. Solvers for large systems of linear equations. Vol. 2: Geometric modeling and mesh generation. Adaptivity and a posteriori error estimation. Vol. 3: Compressible and incompressible flows. Vol. 4: Heat transfer. Solid mechanics. Vol. 5: Meshless methods. Wave propagation. Mathematical aspects. The papers are preceded by the Laudatio, and interview with Prof. J. Tinsley Oden, and a poem dedicated to the honoree.
