PARTICLES 2011 : II International Conference on Particle-Based Methods

[submitido por Victorio Sonzogni]

Desde: 26-10-2011
Hasta: 28-10-2011
Lugar:  Barcelona, Spain

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce the II International Conference on Particle-Based 
Methods. Fundamentals and Applications (PARTICLES 2011 - Barcelona, Spain, 26 
- 28 October 2011). 

The second conference on Particle-Based Methods is a joint initiative of 
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Spain) and Swansea University (UK). The 
previous conference on these series was held in Barcelona on 25-27 November 
2009 and attracted some 150 participants.

PARTICLES 2011 will address both the fundamental basis and the applicability 
of state of the art particle-based computational methods that can be 
effectively used for solving a variety of problems in engineering and applied 
sciences. The applications of the particle-based methods presented in the 
conference will cover the analysis of geo-mechanical and mining problems, 
industrial forming processes, fluid-structure interaction problems accounting 
for free surface flow effects in civil and marine engineering (water streams 
acting on constructions, wave loads in harbours and marine structures, ship 
hydrodynamics, etc.), multi-fracturing processes in impact situations, nano-
micro-macroscopic effects in material science and bio-medical engineering, 
molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics problems, melting of polymers in fire 
situations and many others.

PARTICLES 2011 also aims to be a forum for practitioners in the computational 
mechanics field to discuss recent advances and identify future research 
directions for particle-based methods. 

Key Date: The deadline for presenting a one page abstract is 21 January 2011. 

Further information is available at http://congress.cimne.com/particles2011 

We kindly invite you to stick the conference dates in your Agenda. Please, 
inform other colleagues who might be interested in attending the conference. 

We thank you for your cooperation and look forward to welcoming you in 
Barcelona in October 2011.

Sincerely,

D.R.J.Owen

Conference Chairmen
