Walker [log in to unmask] Date: August 29, 2019 Subject: Numerical Methods, Extended Liquid Crystalline Systems, USA, Dec 2019 Liquid crystals (LCs) are classic examples of partially ordered materials that combine the fluidity of liquids with the long-range order of solids, and have great potential to enable new materials and technological devices. A variety of LC phases exist, e.g. nematics, smectics, cholesterics, with a rich range of behavior when subjected to external fields, curved boundaries, mechanical strain, etc. Recently, new systems came into focus, such as bent-core LC phases, twist-bend-modulated nematics, chromonics and polymer-stabilized blue phases, with more to be discovered. Best known for applications in displays, LCs have recently been proposed for new applications in biology, nanoscience and beyond, such as biosensors, actuators, drug delivery, and bacterial control (related to active matter). Indeed, it is believed that the LC nature of DNA once enabled the mother of all applications, namely life itself. New numerical methods and scientific computation is needed to guide new theory and models for these systems that capture the interplay of symmetry, geometry, temperature and confinement in spatio-temporal pattern formation for LCs and extended LC-like systems. This workshop provides an interdisciplinary platform for computational and experimental research in extended LC-like systems, and how these approaches can yield new theoretical insight for novel LC systems.

Peridynamics and phase field approaches have recently delivered promising results for modeling complex fracture phenomena and significant efforts have been carried out in the past years to validate the corresponding fracture models using available experimental data. However, on one hand, it is still unclear whether the data obtained from current experiments is informative enough to satisfactorily validate models in fracture mechanics. On the other hand, it would also be interesting to combine simulation tools and experimental design to optimize control parameters in fracture mechanics experiments. The objectives of this workshop are to bring together experts in experimental fracture mechanics, peridynamics, and phase field methods to discuss the state-of-the-art of experimental measurement and computational modeling with applications in fracture mechanics, to promote a dialogue between these communities, and to identify challenges and pathways for robust validation of phase field and peridynamic models as well as integration of experimental and modeling efforts. This workshop is sponsored by the Technical Thrust Area on Large Scale Structural Systems and Optimal Design of the US Association for Computational Mechanics. the Center for Computation & Techology at Louisiana State University, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Society for Experimental Mechanics. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Dilmurat Azimov [log in to unmask] Date: September 01, 2019 Subject: Optimal Guidance and Control, USA, March 2020 IUTAM Symposium on Optimal Guidance and Control for Autonomous Systems (ISOGCAS 2020) March 19, Thursday, 2020 - March 21, Saturday, 2020 University of Hawaii at Manoa Honolulu, HI, 96822 The ISOGCAS 2020 invites papers representing the results of research and studies in optimal guidance and control, and the utilities of these theoretical developments in the performance of autonomous systems.
