Mathematic modelling and computational methods in solid mechanics

计算固体力学为复杂问题的模拟提供了实用工具。这些工具具有前所未有的预测能力，对现代社会产生了巨大影响，包括制造业、交通运输、国防、通信和医学。计算固体力学提供了一个合理的框架，可以用来探索极端条件或大小，并跨越多个尺度的材料响应。计算固体力学的挑战是提供一种精确的、数值稳定的、以计算高效的方式实现的解。这只有通过确保基本的数学框架是合理的和被很好地理解才有可能；缺乏对数学的理解可能成为固体力学研究进展的重大障碍。这个为期一周的暑期班旨在解决工程师在数学知识方面的差距，为研究生工程师提供密集的学习体验，并为来自英国各地的博士生提供互动和讨论的机会。它将提供数学建模和计算方法方面的培训，主要学者将通过讲座和更多非正式的辅导课程来授课，旨在帮助参与者理解和实践所学到的内容。

Computational Solid Mechanics provides practical tools for the simulation of complex problems. These tools, with unprecedented predictive powers, have had an enormous impact on modern society, including manufacturing, transportation, defence, communication and medicine. Computational Solid Mechanics provides a sound framework with which to explore extremes of conditions or size and to bridge material responses across multiple scales. The challenge in Computational Solid Mechanics is to deliver a solution that is accurate, numerically stable and achieved in a computationally efficient manner. This is only possible by ensuring that the underlying mathematical framework is sound and well understood; a lack of mathematical understanding can act as a significant barrier to advances in solid mechanics research. This one week Summer School has been designed to address the perceived gap in the mathematical knowledge of engineers, to provide an intensive learning experience for postgraduate engineers and provide an opportunity for interaction and discussion by PhD students from all over the UK. It will provide training in mathematical modelling and computational methods that will be delivered by leading academics via lectures and more informal tutorial sessions designed to help participants understand and practice what they have been taught.
