Author(s) : SÄNDIG A. M., SCHIEHLEN W., WENDLAND W. L.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book consists of selected articles based on a conference on this topic at the University of Stuttgart in 1999. The simulation of complex physical and engineering problems often involves an interaction or coupling of individual phenomena, which are traditionally themselves related to separate fields of applied mechanics. Typical examples of these so-called multifield problems are the thermo-mechanical analysis of solids with coupling between mechanical stress analysis and thermal heat transfer processes, the simulation of coupled deformation and fluid transport mechanisms in porous media, the prediction of mass transport and phase transition phenomena of mixtures, the analysis of sedimentation processes based on an interaction of particle dynamics and viscous flow, the simulation of multibody systems and fluid-structure interactions based on solid-to-solid and solid-to-fluid contact mechanisms. Extract from the table of contents: the many roles of viscosity in solid mechanics; multiscale approach to a basic problem of materials mechanics; two- and multiphase flows; mechanics of materials and multiscaling; solid-fluid interaction; efficient solvers and adaptivity (compression for the radiation heat transfer in exhaust pipes); contact and fracture.
