Download or read book Advances in Adaptive Computational Methods in Mechanics written by P. Ladeveze and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1998-06-23 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mastering modelling, and in particular numerical models, is becoming a crucial and central question in modern computational mechanics. Various tools, able to quantify the quality of a model with regard to another one taken as the reference, have been derived. Applied to computational strategies, these tools lead to new computational methods which are called "adaptive". The present book is concerned with outlining the state of the art and the latest advances in both these important areas. Papers are selected from a Workshop (Cachan 17-19 September 1997) which is the third of a series devoted to Error Estimators and Adaptivity in Computational Mechanics. The Cachan Workshop dealt with latest advances in adaptive computational methods in mechanics and their impacts on solving engineering problems. It was centered too on providing answers to simple questions such as: what is being used or can be used at present to solve engineering problems? What should be the state of art in the year 2000? What are the new questions involving error estimators and their applications?

Download or read book Reliability in Computational Mechanics written by John Tinsley Oden and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1990 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of what engineers and scientists do is modeling natural phenomena, by developing mathematical models of nature they can study and predict the behaviour of physical systems. The remarkable advances in technology over the last half century attest to the success of this approach. However, there has been growing concern about the issue of reliability in computational modeling in recent years. The success of computational modeling in certain classes of linear problems may have lulled many into a false sense of confidence in computed results. The papers in this volume discuss topics such as: Exactly how reliable are contemporary computational modeling procedures? How can this reliability be assessed? What factors affect it? How can reliability be improved? What direction must future research in computational modeling take to increase reliability of the more sophisticated models needed to simulate phenomena of importance in engineering? The work covers the application of existing methods to issues of reliability as well as studies of new methods that touch upon or depend upon the reliability of computational techniques in mechanics.

Download or read book Proceedings of Workshop on Reliability in Computational Mechanics Held in Austin Texas on October 26 28 1989 written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of what engineers and scientists do is to model natural phenomena. They develop mathematical models of nature so as to study and predict the behavior of physical systems. The remarkable advances in technology over the last half century attest to the success of this approach. Mathematical models do indeed work. Their use represents a proven approach toward scientific discovery and engineering analyses and design, and one can safely predict that the confidence in results of mathematical modeling will grow as further proof and experience accumulates as to their utility and their reliability. Indeed, it is this latter quality, reliability, that emerges as the key to further progress in computational mechanics. There has been growing concern about the issue of reliability in computational modeling in recent years. The papers presented at the Workshop fell into four broad categories: (1) Mathematical modeling; (2) A priori analysis, including principles of convergence, robustness and their reliability; (3) A posteriori analysis, including adaptive methods; and (4) Computer aspects of modeling such as mesh generation, solid modeling and their reliability. In addition, papers on parallel computing, applications to practical problems, selection of benchmark problems for code verification, and related issues were discussed. The majority of the paper focused on finite element methods and their applications, but a number of papers also dealt with boundary element methods, finite difference methods, and spectral methods as well.

This book was released on 2006-03-05 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the dawn of computing, the quest for a better understanding of Nature has been a driving force for technological development. Groundbreaking achievements by great scientists have paved the way from the abacus to the supercomputing power of today. When trying to replicate Nature in the computer’s silicon test tube, there is need for precise and computable process descriptions. The scienti?c ?elds of Ma- ematics and Physics provide a powerful vehicle for such descriptions in terms of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Formulated as such equations, physical laws can become subject to computational and analytical studies. In the computational setting, the equations can be discreti ed for ef?cient solution on a computer, leading to valuable tools for simulation of natural and man-made processes. Numerical so- tion of PDE-based mathematical models has been an important research topic over centuries, and will remain so for centuries to come. In the context of computer-based simulations, the quality of the computed results is directly connected to the model’s complexity and the number of data points used for the computations. Therefore, computational scientists tend to ?ll even the largest and most powerful computers they can get access to, either by increasing the si e of the data sets, or by introducing new model terms that make the simulations more realistic, or a combination of both. Today, many important simulation problems can not be solved by one single computer, but calls for parallel computing.
