Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Numerical Modelling in Engineering

This book gathers outstanding papers on numerical modeling in Mechanical Engineering (Volume 2) as part of the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Numerical Modeling in Engineering (NME 2018), which was held in Ghent, Belgium. The overall objective of the conference was to bring together international scientists and engineers in academia and industry from fields related to advanced numerical techniques, such as the finite element method (FEM), boundary element method (BEM), isogeometric analysis (IGA), etc., and their applications to a wide range of engineering disciplines. This book addresses various industrial engineering applications of numerical simulations to Mechanical and Materials Engineering, including: Aerospace applications, Acoustic analysis, Biomechanical applications, Contact problems and wear, Heat transfer analysis, Vibration and dynamics, Transient analysis, Nonlinear analysis, Composite materials, Polymers, Metal alloys, Fracture mechanics, Fatigue of materials, Creep behavior, Phase transformation, and Crystal plasticity.

Presents the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Numerical Modeling in Engineering (NME 2018) Includes papers written by experts from the field that present recent advances in the theory and industrial applications of advanced numerical techniques Provides an overview of theoretical and analytical methods, industrial engineering applications of numerical simulations, and experimental techniques in the area of mechanical engineering
