Brebbia C.A., Mammoli A.A. Computational Methods And Experiments In Materials Characterisation II

WIT Press, Wessex Institute of Technology, UK, University of New Mexico, USA, 2005. 368 p. — ISBN: 1-84564-031-4.This volume contains most of the papers presented at the 12th International Conference on Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements (CMEM) held in Malta in 2005. These biannual conferences provide a forum to review the latest work on the interaction between computational methods and experimental measurements.New types of experiments allowing for more reliable interpretation of physical systems, result in a better virtual representation of reality. Experimental results are themselves increasingly dependent on specialised computer codes. It is only through the harmonious progressive development of the experimental and computational fields that engineering sciences will be able to progress. This volume contains over 80 papers grouped in the following sections. Computational and analytical methods; Experimental and computational analysis; Direct, indirect and in-situ measurements; Particle methods; Structural and stress analysis; Structural dynamics; Dynamics and vibrations; Electrical and electromagnetic applications; Bioengineering applications; Heat transfer; Thermal processes and Fluid flow.CompositesCharacterizing spatial heterogeneity in polydisperse particle distributions
