IUTAM symposium on discretization methods in structural mechanics. Poceedings of the IUTAM symposium held in Vienna, Austria, June 2--6, 1997 (Q1974691)

The proceedings of the IUTAM symposium contain 41 papers. The following topics are covered: Error-controlled adaptivity of finite element methods; Large deformations and buckling, including inelastic deformations; Inelastic brittle or ductile localization, phase transition and system failure, resulting from monotonic, cyclic or impact loading; Sensitivity analysis and inverse problems with special emphasis on identification of material parameters; Development of linear and nonlinear finite element methods for thin-walled structures and composites; Implicit integration schemes for nonlinear dynamics; Coupling of rigid and deformable structures, fluid-structure and acoustic-structure interaction; Competitive numerical methods (FEM/BEM, coupling of these two methods); Identification of material and structural data.
