Conference Support for BETECH '94; March 16-18, 1994 in Orlando, Florida.

卡萨布 第九届边界元技术国际会议（BETECH 94）将于1994年3月16日至18日在佛罗里达的奥兰多由中佛罗里达大学主办。 边界元法（BEM）现在已经发展到一个阶段，它不再是纯粹的学术研究工具，而是一种可行的分析技术，用于工程分析和设计。 事实上，BEM正在向工业用户进军。 存在着一个国际论坛的研究人员交流思想，并暴露工业用户的发展，相反，工业用户暴露研究人员的新问题所产生的经验，在使用边界元法的需要。 第九届边界元技术会议将在奥兰多举行，将为工业用户、边界元研究人员以及商业和研究代码开发人员之间的思想交流提供一个论坛。 它是由威塞克斯理工学院，这是佛罗里达州立大学系统的一部分共同组织。 正如当地组织委员会的工业成员提供的信件所证明的那样，当地工业界对BEM很感兴趣。 此外，美国机械工程师学会的佛罗里达分会赞助了这次会议，并将在宣传和支持会议方面发挥重要作用。 国际边界要素学会将主办这次会议，并将在其通讯中予以宣传。 会议记录将由计算力学和Elsevier出版社出版，并将分发给所有代表，并将作为边界元法应用的重要参考资料。会议记录将由出版商在全世界散发。 ***

9322240 Kassab The 9th International Conference on Boundary Element Technology (BETECH 94) will be hosted by the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida during March 16-18, 1994. The Boundary Element Method (BEM) has now reached a stage in its development where it is no longer purely a research tool used by academics but a viable analytical technique for engineering analysis and design. Indeed, the BEM is making inroads with industrial users. There exists a need for an international forum for researchers to exchange ideas and expose industrial users to their developments and conversely for industrial users to expose researchers to novel issues arising form their experience in using the BEM. The ninth Boundary Element Technology Conference to be held in Orlando will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between, industrial users, boundary element researchers, and commercial and research code developers. It is co-organized by the Wessex Institute of Technology which is part of the Florida State University System. There is much local industrial interest in the BEM as is evidenced by the letters provided by the industrial members of the Local Organizing Committee. Further, the Florida Section of the ASME has sponsored the conference and will be instrumental in publicizing and supporting the Conference. The International Society for Boundary Elements (ISBE) will sponsor the Conference and will publicize it in its newsletter. The Proceedings of the Conference will be published by Computational Mechanics and Elsevier Press, will be distributed to all delegates, and will serve as an important source of reference in the applications of the BEM. The proceeding will be disseminated worldwide by the publishers. ***
