Preface
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of
computational engineering, as presented by leading international researchers and
engineers at the 26th International Conference on Computational & Experimental
Engineering and Sciences (ICCES). ICCES covers all aspects of applied sciences
and engineering: theoretical, analytical, computational, and experimental studies
and solutions of problems in the physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical, and mathematical sciences. As such, the book discusses highly diverse topics,
including data-driven computational modeling; biomedical engineering and
biomechanics; sound and vibration; computational and experimental materials and
design; engineering and experimental sciences; modern computational methods;
modern developments in mechanics of materials and structures; multi-scale and
multi-physics fluid engineering; structural integrity and longevity; and materials
design and simulation. The contributions, which were selected by means of a
rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that
will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
