44th International Conference on Boundary Elements and other Mesh Reduction Methods 2021

Memo

The annual conference on Boundary Elements and other Mesh Reduction Methods (BEM/MRM), now in its 44th version, is to take place in Valencia, Spain. Since starting in 1978, the Conference has attracted high-quality papers that report further advances in techniques that reduce or eliminate the type of meshes associated with finite elements or finite differences, for instance. Theoretical developments and new formulations have been reported, helping to expand the range of applications as well as the type of modelled materials in response to the requirements of contemporary industrial and professional environments. This ability to evolve is reflected in the history of the Conference and has ensured the success of the meetings as well as the establishment of a community of stakeholders. This well-established conference acts as a forum to discuss new ideas and critically compare results before the developed solutions and tools are released to end-users. The meeting welcomes all stakeholders interested in the methods and particularly the participation of young researchers. Their new contributions have been the principal reason why the conference has continued to evolve. Topics The following list covers some of the topics that can be presented at BEM/MRM 44. Papers on other subjects related to the objectives of the conference are also welcome. Advanced formulations Fast multipole BEM Advanced meshless and mesh reduction methods Hybrid formulations Interfacing with other methods Computational methods Solution of large systems of equations H-matrices and wavelets Multiscale problems Stochastic modelling Other numerical techniques not necessarily meshless Solid mechanics Heat and mass transfer Fluid flow modelling Damage mechanics and fracture Dynamics and vibrations Wave propagation phenomena Particle-particle interaction methods Engineering and industrial applications Structural mechanics applications Electrical engineering and electromagnetics Applications in biomedical engineering Design optimisation and inverse problems Coupling with design and manufacturing Computer science issues related to any of the above topics Characterisation based on simulation and experimental data Case studies
