Computational Mechanics Challenges Day

Time and Place

The CM Challenges Day took place at the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM) in Linz, October 21, 2005, Room: HF 9901.

Please refer to the RICAM Information Leaflet for details on RICAM and how to travel here.

Workshop Topics

The purpose of this one-day event on October 21, 2005 during the Special Radon Semester 2005 was the promotion of new computational techniques for mechanical problems.

We invited scientists from Austrian universities as well as other Austrian research institutions in order to present and discuss challenging problems in mechanics, for which computational techniques are not yet available or, if available, require significant further development.

The framework of the special semester with the presence of a large group of international experts gave the opportunity to discuss possible novel strategies for tackling these problems in a highly competent forum of scientists in computational mathematics and mechanics.
