Summary

Computational Mechanics in solids, structures and coupled problems in engineering is today a mature science with applications to major industrial designs. This book reflects the state of art and it is written by some of the world leading authorities in this field, addressing such topics as: design and topology optimisation, inverse engineering, multibody dynamics, non-linear and railway dynamics, non-linear and textile composites, sandwich structures, uncertainty and reliability of structures, micromechanics of biological materials, computational geometry, multiscale strategies, discrete and mesh free elements, hybrid crack element, adaptive mesh generation, neural networks, structural model validation, vibro-acoustics, active aeroelastic structures, shells with incompressible flows, fluid-structure interaction, aeroelasticity, fluid-saturated and damage porous media and ceramics, high porosity solids, multiphase viscous porous material and masonry. This book contains the edited version of some Plenary and Keynote Lectures presented at the III European Conference on Computational Mechanics: Solids, Structures and Coupled Problems in Engineering (ECCM-2006), held in the National Laboratory of Civil Engineering, Lisbon, Portugal, 5th - 8th June 2006.
