Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements XIX In its 19th
year the International Conference on Computational Methods and
Experimental Measurements continues to provide highest quality
research which forms this book. This volume examines a wide variety
of topics related to new experimental and computational methods.
The continuous improvement in computer efficiency, coupled with
diminishing costs and the rapid development of numerical procedures
have generated an ever-increasing expansion of computational
simulations that permeate all fields of science and technology. As
these procedures continue to grow in magnitude and complexity, it
is essential to validate their results to be certain of their
reliability. This can be achieved by performing dedicated and
accurate experiments, which have undergone a constant and enormous
development. At the same time, current experimental techniques have
become more complex and sophisticated so that they require the
intensive use of computers, both for running experiments as well as
acquiring and processing the resulting data. Some of the subject
areas covered are: Computational and experimental methods; Fluid
flow; Structural and stress analysis; Electromagnetic problems;
Structural integrity; Destructive and non-destructive testing; Heat
transfer and thermal processes; Advances in computational methods;
Automotive and Aerospace applications; Applications in industry;
Ocean engineering and marine structures; Fluid structure
interaction; Bio-electromagnetics; Hybrid methods; Process
simulations; Validation of computer modelling; Virtual testing and
verification; Simulation and forecasting; Measurements in
engineering. Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures XII Major
earthquakes and associated effects continue to stress the need to
carry out more research and a better understanding of these
phenomena in order to design earthquake resistant buildings and to
carry out risk assessments. This volume combines the latest leading
research as presented on the 12th edition of the ERES conference.
As the world's population has concentrated in urban areas resulting
in buildings in regions of high seismic vulnerability, we have seen
the consequences of natural disasters take an ever higher toll on
human existence. Protecting the built environment in
earthquake-prone regions involves not only the optimal design and
construction of new facilities, but also the upgrading and
rehabilitation of existing structures including heritage buildings.
The type of highly specialized retrofitting employed to protect the
built heritage is an important area of research. The research
papers included in this volume cover: Seismic isolation and energy
dissipation; Building performance during earthquakes; Numerical
analysis; Performance based design; Experimental studies; Seismic
hazards and tsunamis; Safety engineering; Liquefaction; Innovative
technologies; Paraseismic devices and Lifelines and resilience.
