Bulletin No. 23 ITC 86 10-12 June 1986 MIT Cambridge, USA Considerable strides are being made in the advancement of ice technology and other ice-related research by oil companies, universities and by government and private research establishments to make this enterprise commercially viable and the aim of this Conference is to demonstrate how industry can profit from these technological developments. A broad range of ice-related topics includes Ice mechanics; Mathematical modelling and simulation methods; Model test (including centrifugal modelling). Propulsion in ice; Dynamic response of vessels and structures in ice; Icebreakers-hull design and structural design; Computer Aided Design in ice technology. Conference Chairmen are Professor J. J. Connor, Dept. of Civil Engineering, MIT, Massachusetts, and Dr C. A. Brebbia, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Southampton University. Conference Director is Dr T. K. S. Murthy. 2nd Int. Conf. on Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering 27 June-3 July On board the Queen Elizabeth 2 Once again the Queen Elizabeth 2 provides an ideal environment for an international meeting, and one that is equally convenient for researchers from the USA and Europe. She sails Eastbound for this Second Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering Conference, departing from Boston on 27 June, New York on 21 June, and arriving at Southampton on 3 July. Bookings are progressing well and Conference Sessions are based on the following themes: Seismicity, ground motion and site response; Soil behaviour under dynamic loads; Liquefaction of soils; Dynamic behaviour of foundations and underground structures: Earth dams and stability of slopes under dynamic loads; Dynamic earth pressures and design of earth retaining structures; Seismic design and base isolation. Enquiries to Professor A. S. Cakmak, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA, or Dr C. A. Brebbia, Computational Mechanics Centre, Ashurst Lodge, Ashurst, Southampton SO4 2AA, England. ENGSOFT '85 18-20 June 1985 Kensington, London, UK 'The response to the Call for Papers for this year's Conference has been overwhelming, confirming that the pace of innovation in engineering is increasing', comments Dr R. Adey, director of Engsoft '85, the Fourth International Conference and Exhibition organised by Computational Mechanics, which takes place in London this summer. A program of seminars will be run parallel to the Conference, and topics include: 'Solid Modelling' and 'The Future of Engineering Computing', and 'Engineering Databases'.
Papers presented at the Conference will be published and all delegates will receive a free copy of the book. About 60 companies will be represented at the accompanying exhibition, including such names as CEGB Computing Centre, Cham, Floating Point Systems, Cambridge Electronic Design, Whessoe Technical and Computing Services. Publication companies are also well represented with North-Holland, Pergamon and Springer-Verlag, as well as ourselves, CML Publications. All enquiries to Elaine Taylor, Computational Mechanics Centre, Ashurst Lodge, Ashurst, Southampton SO4 2AA, UK. NEW BOOK
A new, improved third edition of the Finite Element Systems handbook will be published shortly. The format remains the same, especially the introductory remarks on how to use the book in which a classification of the different codes is attempted. Programs based on techniques other than Finite Elements are also reported, particularly the Boundary Element codes. Some pre- and post-processor systems are included in view of their importance to run Finite Element codes efficiently. The book costs £49.00, in hardback, 768 pp. ISBN 0-905451-31-7. NEW COURSE
News of a course 'ideal to equip conventionally trained engineers with the principles and applications of Computer Aided Design' comes from the Computer Education Centre, Southampton, UK. The Syllabus includes Modelling, Computational Methods, Software Engineering, Pre- and Post-Processing, Numerical Control Software, Mathematics, Computer Architecture, Industrial Lectures and Workshops. Each course will last 13 weeks and consists of one week introduction plus 12 weeks of course work and is geared to cater both for trainees from the Manpower Services Commission and private companies. The Centre is developing further courses for engineers. For further information contact the Course Director, Computer Education Centre, 125 High Street, Southampton SO10AA, UK.
