USNCCM18 - MS# 1005: Recent Advances in Computational Methods and Theories for Multiphysics Challenges

The aim of this mini-symposium is to highlight recent advancements in computational methods and mechanics theories for addressing coupled-field problems, potentially across multiple length and time scales. We invite contributions that focus on novel computational techniques and theoretical frameworks that enhance the predictive capabilities of computational models. Topics of interest under this theme include, but are not limited to:

• Innovative computational methods and/or mechanics theories for predicting material deterioration processes.
• New approaches for modeling material behavior under multiphysics loading conditions through coupled-field analyses.
• Theoretical advancements that offer new paradigms for bridging temporal and/or spatial length scales.
• Techniques for quantifying computational errors and uncertainty propagation in multiscale and/or multiphysics analyses.
• Novel verification and validation frameworks for coupled-scale and/or coupled-field analyses, integrated with experimental data.
• Simulation-based inverse characterization of material damage criteria or parameters across various length scales.
• Novel reduced order modeling techniques for multiphysics processes involving localization effects.

Given the interdisciplinary nature of this field, contributions from theoretical and applied mechanics, computational physics, applied mathematics, materials science, and nanotechnology are welcome. Selected contributions will be invited for submission to special journal issues in the journal of Advances in Engineering Software (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/advances-in-engineering-software).
