Hybrid Methods in Mechanical Engineering |
The main purpose
of the symposium is to offer a specialized forum for developments in novel
hybrid methods and application of mixed computation in the solution of
mechanical engineering problems. Within this context, papers submitted
to this meeting should fall into five main categories. The first will contain
those contributions that describe new developments in hybrid
numerical-analytical
methods that have a practical application. A second category will concentrate
specifically on the use and extension of mixed symbolic-numerical computational
tools and software, including graphics and animation, in mechanical engineering
problems.
The third will
contain contributions relating to the establishment of benchmark
results obtained through hybrid methods, for reference purposes. The fourth
category will be related to the co-validation of hybrid and numerical
and/or experimental results. Finally, the fifth category includes papers
that bring novel interpretations to the physical knowledge on a certain
mechanical engineering discipline, allowed for by the use of hybrid methods
and/or mixed computation algorithms.
