Computational Nonlinear Solid and Structural Mechanics

Contributions are invited in the general area of computational methods for nonlinear solid and structural mechanics.

Computational methods and simulation techniques play a central role in advancing the understanding of complex/nonlinear behavior. This mini symposium is aimed at providing a forum for the presentation of the recent advances in the theoretical formulation, the mathematical analysis and the numerical implementation of computational methods for nonlinear solid and structural mechanics.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1) Computational methods for inelasticity.
2) Computational methods for finite deformation.
3) Computational contact mechanics
4) Novel theories and computational models of beams, plates and shells
5) Computational methods for nonlinear dynamics.
