About ICCMS 2014

Computational mechanics and simulation deals with application of numerical techniques to understand the physical phenomena governed by the principles of mechanics. It has got enormous potential for the future growth and applications by incorporating new models of physical and biological systems based on solid, structural, fluid, quantum, molecular and bio-mechanics. It has transformed much of classical Newtonian mechanics into practical tools to predict and understand the complex physical systems. These tools are widely used currently for the simulation and design of number of engineering structures, products and components.

To further the growth of Computational Mechanics in different disciplines, the first four International Congresses on Computational Mechanics were held at IIT Kanpur (2004), IIT Guwahati (2006), IIT Bombay (2009) and IIT Hyderabad (2012).

The Fifth International Congress on Computational Mechanics and Simulation (ICCMS 2014) is being organized by CSIR-Structural Engineering Research Centre, Chennai in association with Indian Association for Computational Mechanics during 10-13 December 2014. The Congress is part of the golden jubilee celebrations of CSIR-SERC, Chennai. The aim of this Congress is to provide a forum for scientists, academicians, analysts, designers and practicing engineers from around the globe to interact and exchange ideas and establish relationships from all areas of theoretical and applied mechanics including theoretical, computational and experimental aspects, as well as theoretical modeling, methods of analysis and instrumentation besides setting directions for future growth. It includes basic discipline-oriented areas such as dynamics, continuum mechanics, solid and fluid mechanics, structures, heat transfer, tribology, geomechanics and biomechanics, as well as inter-disciplinary subjects such as new numerical and computational techniques, systems control technology, engineering design tools, manufacturing technology, materials and energy technology and environmental engineering.

ICCMS 2014 will focus on computational mechanics of solids, fluids and simulations with particular emphasis on the following themes, but not limited to them.

Computational Solid and Structural Mechanics (CSSM)

Computational Techniques (CT)

Computational Models for Evolving Materials (CMEM)

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Computational Simulations (CS)
