FIRST INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION
APPLIED MODELLING AND SIMULATION Lyon, France, 7-11 September 1981 ORGANIZED BY The I.A.S.T.E.D., International Association of Science and Technology for Development. and The A.M.S.E., Association for the Advancement of Modelling and Simulation Techniques in Enterprises. Modelling (the schematic description of systems and devices) and simulation (the use of models to investigate or optimize processes, without necessarily experimenting on the real system) are usable in all technical or non technical activities. The subjects treated will include general methods of modelling and simulation as well as their applications in the following fields: materials, mechanics and Civil Engineering, thermoanalysis, energetics, geology and resources, biology, medicine and pharmacy, education, sociology, economy, transports, etc. The conference and exhibition do not only consist of specialized and elaborate developments but also of initiating and synthetizing conferences. On that account, they appeal to both specialists in modelling and simulation and those who want to learn these techniques. Persons and Companies willing to submit a communication, to exhibit software products or material, or simply to attend the Conference and Exhibition will receive all necessary documents when writing to: A.M.S.E., 16, Avenue de Grange Blanche, 69160 Tassin-La-Demi-Lune, France.
EUROMECH COLLOQUIUM
147
DAMAGE MECHANICS Campus of E.N.S.E.T., Cachan, France 22-25 September 1981
AIM OF THE COLLOQUIUM The structural deterioration of the materials due to the forming and the service solicitations, represents a basic phenomenon to be taken into account in rheological modelling of strain and rupture for prediction by numerical calculations. The aims of the colloquium is to review and to classify the results obtained in this relatively new field of Mechanics of Solids in order to orientate the fundamental research and to define the fields of technological applications. Damage is taken in the sens of progressive deterioration by large deformation creep or fatigue in regard to rupture of solid’materials (metals and alloys, composites, concrete. . .). Mechanics is taken in the sense of mathematic modelisation of physical phenomenon identification and structure calculation for life time.

MAIN TOPICS Contribution must give answers to the following questions: What is damage? From the point of view of Physics-Thermodynamic~Mechanics? How to measure damage? How to model&econstitutive equations? How to use damage concepts to predict failure of structures in service condition? The Campus of E.N.S.E.T. (Ecole Normale Superieure de I’Enseignement Technique) at Cachan (metro Bagneux),located at 10km from the centre of Paris. PARTICIPATION As an Euromech rule, participation is restricted to invited {mostly european) people and limited to about 50 scientists. All inquiries are requested to be forwarded to the Chairman of the Colloquium

INNOVATIVE NUMERICAL ANALYSIS FOR THE ENGINEERING SCIENCES Edited by R. Shaw, W. Pilkey, A. Lakis, A. Chaudouet, R. Wilson C. Marino and B. Pilkey Innovative Numerical Anuiysis is a state-of-the-artguide to problem solving in a wide range of applied engineering fields. The volume contains over 80 articles on numerical analysis for problems in structures, solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, fluids, structure-fluid interaction, diffusion, acoustics, mathematics and electromagnetics, The essays are the work of over 130 leading authorities from around the world and constitute the Proceedings of the Second International Symposium for Innovative Numerical Analysis in Applied Engineering Science (Montreal,June, 1980).No comparable reference volume exists. The 14 articles on structures cover, among other areas, dynamic systems analysis, pipes, shells, plates, elastic prismatic members, gun dynamics and bridges. The 18 solid mechanics essays discuss torsion problems and elastostatic displacement,as well as other topics. Twenty articles on fluids cover potential flow problems, hydraulic jumps, aircraft trailing vortices, convection-diffusion,gas and fluid dynamics, moving boundary problems, airfoil design and other fluid related problem areas. A variety of new numerical methods are presented in the 12 articles of the mathematics section. These range from specific topics, such as mixed ~undary integral methods, to general discussions of new numerical methodology, short cuts and formulas. The book includes 4 essays on fractures, 6 on structure-fluidinteraction, 2 on diffusion, 1 on acoustics and 3 on electromagnetics. There is an index, also. This book is published by and availablefrom the University Press of Virginia,P.O. Box 3608, University Station, Charlottesville, VA 22903,U.S.A. for $40 (Virginiaresidents must add 4% tax).
