CALL FOR PAPERS - INVITED SESSION - ENIEF 2004

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a paper to the following
session:

"Multiscale modeling of the mechanical behavior of solids: from
microstructures to engineering applications"

that we are organizing as part of:

ENIEF 2004: XIV Congress on Numerical Methods and their Applications.
Bariloche, ARGENTINA, 8-11 November 2004

Contributions from all aspects of multiple scale analysis of the behavior
of solids will be considered. Topics of interested include, but not limited
to the following areas:

1) Prediction of thermomechanical behavior of composites, fine-scale
laminates, polycrystalline materials, etc, using multiscale scale methods
and techniques for bridging time and length scales.

2) Modeling of nano- and micro-scale heterogeneous materials, including
stochastic variations, considering atomistics and/or micromechanical
models.

3) Use of homogenization techniques as constitutive numerical unit, inside
larger-scale boundary-value calculations.

4) Strategies for experimental validation and specific engineering
applications.
