Organizers: M. Suri (Univ. of Maryland - Baltimore County, USA), Z. Yosibash (Ben-Gurion Univ. of the Negev, Israel)
Description:
The international conference, p and hp Finite Element Methods: Mathematics and Engineering Practice, is dedicated to
Professor Barna A. Szabo on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. Being one of the founders of the p-version of the FEM,
Professor Szabo has been working on and advocating these methods for the past 30 years. He has played a key role in
emphasizing the need for estimating the reliability of computed data, and in the effective implementation of p and hp FEM in
industrial computer codes used in daily engineering practice. The main objective of the conference is to bring together
researchers with interests in the mathematical, engineering practice and computational aspects of the p and hp (and
high-order/spectral) methods for the solution of partial differential equations (mainly associated with solid and fluid mechanics).
It is anticipated that the conference will provide a forum for interaction between a broad group of scientists and engineers with
diverse interests in the mathematical and engineering application of p and hp methods.
Topics: A-priori and a-posteriori error estimation. Efficient solution algorithms for system of equations generated by p and hp methods. Application of methods to nonlinear problems. Practical application of high-order methods in engineering practice. Connection of high-order methods to dimension reduction and plate/shell models. High-order methods for computational electromagnetics. High-order methods and their coupling with CAD systems. High-order time-space methods. Treatment of singularities by high-order methods. High-order methods applied to bio-mechanical systems. p and hp-BEM. Other applications of p/hp methods.
Speakers: Borje Andersson (Aeronautical Research Institute of Sweden, Sweden), Ivo Babuska (Univ. of Texas at Austin, USA), Ted Belytschko (Northwestern Univ., USA), George Karniadakis (Brown Univ., USA), Saeed Paydarfar (Boeing Defense and Space Group, USA), Christoph Schwab (ETH Zurich, Switzerland), J.Tinsley Oden (Univ. of Texas at Austin, USA), Juhani Pitkaranta (Helsinki Univ. of Technology, Finland), Michael Wheeler (Parametric Technology Corp., USA)
