Program

*

You may download the program here. [updated March 6, 2013]  All talks will be held in Room 1.338 in the Buena Vista Building in the UTSA Downtown Campus.  For directions on how to get from the Doubletree Hotel to the Buena Vista Building, download the map here.

 

The program focuses on the following areas:

  • Nonlocal materials in dynamic fracture, plasticity, visco-elasticity, fiber-reinforced composites, etc.
  • Applications of nonlocal modeling to: mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic, biomaterials and bio-systems, network and traffic flow, swarming, extreme conditions (high-velocity impact, penetration, thermal shock)
  • Multiscale modeling and adaptivity in nonlocal models
  • Numerical methods and analysis for nonlocal models
  • Mathematical analysis of nonlocal/peridynamic models
  • Software implementations of nonlocal models
  • Connections between different nonlocal models
  • Other areas of research in which nonlocal modeling is useful
