Springer Recent Advances in Computational Mechanics and Simulations: Volume-II: Nano to Macro (Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering)

This volume presents selected papers from the 7th International Congress on Computational Mechanics and Simulation held at IIT Mandi, India. The papers discuss the development of mathematical models representing physical phenomena and applying modern computing methods and simulations to analyse them. The studies cover recent advances in the fields of nano mechanics and biomechanics, simulations of multiscale and multiphysics problems, developments in solid mechanics and finite element method, advancements in computational fluid dynamics and transport phenomena, and applications of computational mechanics and techniques in emerging areas. The volume will be of interest to researchers and academics from civil engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials engineering/science, physics, mathematics and other disciplines.  From the Back Cover This volume presents selected papers from the 7 th International Congress on Computational Mechanics and Simulation held at IIT Mandi, India.
