[NotiAMCA] ECCOMAS Thematic Event - SEDUREC 2009

SEDUREC 2009
Int. Symp. On Safety and Durability 
of Materials and Constructions

25-27 february 
Barcelona, Spain


Introduction

SEDUREC 2009 will address the advances in both the computational methods and 
the experimental techniques for the analysis of the safety and durability of 
materials and constructions in civil engineering and architecture.

The ability to provide numerical simulations for predicting failure of 
structures with standard and new composite materials is advancing rapidly. 
Significant advances have been made in the formulation and implementation of 
algorithms for static and dynamic problems involving finite strains, complex 
contact interaction laws, constitutive material behaviours including 
multi-physics or multi-scale effects, progressive large scale fracturing, 
etc. Such advances, however, demand a closer interaction between numerical 
analysts and material scientists in order to produce theoretical models which 
provide a response in keeping with fundamental material principles and 
experimental observations. Numerical techniques, and in particular finite 
element and discrete element methods, are now extensively employed in 
non-linear structural analysis and very often offer the only means of 
solution for practical engineering problems.
Experimental methodologies for structural analysis on the other hand, are 
undergoing significant technological changes. The development of wireless 
sensor networks (WSN) incorporating the advances in networked info-mechanical 
systems (NIMS) for intelligent control and operation of maintenance systems 
add new possibilities for enhanced safety and durability of constructions.

SEDUREC 2009 will act as a forum for developers and partitioners in the field 
of safety and durability of materials and constructions to discuss recent 
advances in both computational and experimental techniques and identification 
of future research directions.
