Subject: Mathematics of Operational Research, UK, Apr 2019


Innovating Mathematics for New Industrial Challenges
25 - 26 April 2019, Aston University, Birmingham, UK

The conference will aim to draw together the considerable community of
researchers and practitioners who develop new mathematics of relevance
to and which underpin applications in Operational Research (OR). It
will take a comprehensive view, will showcase activity from across OR,
and will welcome both contributions which have a clear application
focus as well as those which are theoretically driven. Contributions
will be expected to showcase both significant new mathematics and OR
relevance. The conference will host plenaries from leading
international experts.

Invited Speakers:
- Jeremy Bradley (Royal Mail)
- Shane Henderson (Cornell University)
- Rob Solly (Dstl)
- Sven Leyffer (Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago)
- Milan Vojnovic (LSE)

Registration is now open via https://my.ima.org.uk/

Subject: Summer School on Phase-field Modeling, Belgium, Jun 2019


Hereby, I would like to kindly invite you to participate in the
summer school on phase field modeling at Hasselt University,
Belgium, from June 24-26, 2019.

The goal of this summer school is to give the participants a basic
introduction to the analysis and the numerics of phase fields. The
focus will be on introducing the phase field concept including some
physical applications, show how the phase field equation relate to
other moving-boundary models, and numerical implementation. The summer
school will therefore be amenable to mathematicians, engineers and
scientists and will be presented in a genuine interdisciplinary
context. The summer school will be open to participants having a basic
knowledge in calculus and partial differential equations as they are
taught to engineers and scientists. All sessions will be hands-on,
meaning that sufficient time for exercises and their discussion is
planned.

The lectures will be given by Jun.-Prof. Dr. Carina Bringedal
(Universitat Stuttgart), Prof. Dr. Harald Garcke (Universitat
Regensburg), Prof. Dr. Christian Rohde (Universitat Stuttgart) and
Prof. Dr. Thomas Wick (Leibniz Universitat Hannover).

More information and subscription procedures can be found on

Participation is free of charge!

possible communication across the different communities. This
Conference has been organised in cooperation with the Society for
Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and Northumbria University.

Conference topics include: Integrable systems and soliton theory;
Nonlinear waves and nonlinear evolution equations; Dispersive
hydrodynamics; Rogue waves and extreme wave phenomena; Instability in

Subject: Short Course on Peridynamics, USA, Jul-Aug 2019


Short Course on Peridynamics
15th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM15)
July 28-August 1, 2019, Austin, TX
http://15.usnccm.org/SC15-003

A short course on the Peridynamics Theory of Solid Mechanics will be
held at the upcoming U.S. National Congress on Computational
Mechanics. The short course will cover both the fundamentals of
peridynamics as well as advanced topics and applications, including a
hands-on computational tutorial. Students, postdocs, as well as
early-career and senior researchers are welcome to participate. The
short-course description is given below.

Title: Peridynamics Theory of Solid Mechanics: modeling, computation,
and applications

Instructors:
- Dr. John Foster ([email protected])
University of Texas at Austin
- Dr. David Littlewood ([email protected])
Sandia National Laboratories
- Dr. Pablo Seleson ([email protected])
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Description: Peridynamics is a nonlocal reformulation of classical
continuum mechanics, based on integral equations, suitable for
material failure and damage simulation. In contrast to classical
constitutive relations, peridynamic models do not require spatial
differentiability assumptions of displacement fields, leading to a
natural representation of material discontinuities such as
cracks. Furthermore, peridynamic models possess length scales, making
them suitable for multiscale modeling. This course will provide an
overview of peridynamics, including its mathematical, computational,
and modeling aspects. The course will also review advanced research
topics and software in peridynamics, and it will include a hands-on
tutorial on 3D simulation of solid mechanics problems.
