Solving Nonlinear PDEs with a priori accuracy using wavelets

Submitted by karelmatous on Fri, 03/02/2018 - 21:06

We present a numerical method which exploits the biorthogonal interpolating wavelet family, and second-generation wavelets, to solve initial–boundary value problems on finite domains. Our predictor-corrector algorithm constructs a dynamically adaptive computational grid with significant data compression, and provides explicit error control. Error estimates are provided for the wavelet representation of functions, their derivatives, and the nonlinear product of functions.

EML Vol 19 is out

Submitted by K Jimmy Hsia on Thu, 03/01/2018 - 18:56

EML Vol 19 is out, with 7 papers. It is quite fascinating just to read the titles! There are papers on mech behaviors due to interactions within complex structures such as nanofibers in vesicles (cover), novel structures with hierarchically synchronized deformations, and mechanochemically augmented composites. There are studies of cool materials from twinning phosphorene to single layer borophene. And there are papers on methods (full-volume displacement mapping with dualMRI) and device (triboelectric generator). Can’t wait to read the content!

conference

We are pleased to announce the invited speakers for the 4th International Conference on BioTribology (ICoBT 2018), which will take place 26-29 September 2018 in Montreal, Canada.

The aim of the ICoBT meetings is to bring together researchers from across the scientific, clinical and engineering spectrum, to promote communication across the different disciplines and to provide a platform for the presentation of new work in one meeting focused solely on Biotribology.

Seminar: BioEM Simulations for Medical Diagnosis and Treatment, March 21st

Submitted by Simpleware on Thu, 03/01/2018 - 12:05

computational electromagnetics

National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK

The interaction between electromagnetic fields (EM) and the human body are being exploited in clinical and biomedical applications. Electromagnetic medical devices are used for diagnosis as well therapy. This NAFEMS seminar brings together EM software communities to discuss the topic of bio electromagnetics; current trends in EM simulation, exposure to EM fields, and applications of EM field for both therapy and detection.
