Organizer: prof. Oldřich Zmeškal, Ph.D., Faculty of Chemistry, Brno, University of Technology, Purkyňova 118, 612 00 Brno, Czech Republic

Email: zmeskal@fch.vutbr.cz

Transport and accumulation of heat, moisture, chemical substances, and momentum are phenomena which affect buildings and their inbuilt materials over their whole lifetime period.

Their satisfactory description requires primarily a choice of proper physical and mathematical models because the transport mechanisms are coupled.  The computational implementation of mathematical models is another essential factor involving an application of appropriate methods of numerical solution. The computer simulation tools cannot be utilized properly without knowledge of a variety of transport and storage material parameters, microstructural and structural parameters, which have to be determined experimentally in a wide range of field quantities, such as temperature, moisture content, and concentration of a particular chemical compound. The applied models are also supposed to be verified using critical experiments, in order to assess their overall quality. Therefore, in practical applications the computational modeling and experimental assessment of transport processes cannot be separated without a risk of significant departure from the physical reality.

The symposium brings together physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and engineers working in the field of transport processes in building materials and materials engineering. The main topics include but are not limited to:

•  Theoretical models of transport phenomena
•  Computer simulation tools
•  Material parameters and their assessment
•  Model verification techniques
•  Environmental effects on building structures
•  Risk analysis
•  Service life assessment studies
•  High-temperature applications

Nonlinear control is almost ubiquitous is all technological developments and actually it is indispensable in robotics and mechatronics, in autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation systems, in electric power generation, traction and propulsion systems, in the smart electricity grid and power electronics, in industrial processes, in pharmaceutical industries and in biomedical applications, in agriculture, constructions and mining, in satellites, aerospace systems and telecommunications, in financial systems and industrial production scheduling and in numerous other tasks and activities aiming at improving the quality of living and human safety.

Main approaches to nonlinear control for complex dynamical systems are: (i) control and estimation with global linearization techniques (e.g. based on differential flatness theory or Lie algebra), (ii) control and estimation with approximate linearization techniques (e.g. based on local linear models which are obtained through Taylor series expansion), (iii) control and estimation based on Lyapunov stability theory (e.g. energy-based control, adaptive control and adaptive identification techniques), (iv) control based on other optimization concepts (e.g. sliding-mode control and nonlinear model predictive control) (v) nonlinear control addressed to systems under specific state-space forms (e.g. backstepping control and control implemented in cascading loops). The above noted techniques fall within the scope of this special session. Moreover, results on nonlinear control methods which are applied directly on the initial model of the system and are free of diffeomorphisms, changes of state variables and state-space-description transformations will be given particular attention and will be prioritized for inclusion in this special session.

Prospective authors are requested to submit their articles, until the 21st of June 2023 to the organizers of this symposium.

Soft computing approaches are powerful methods to deal with modelling, control, and calibration of industrial robots. Forward kinematics of industrial robots in particular suffers from uncertainties in the parameter values and its model. It is therefore highly appreciated to tune the parameter values of industrial robots using soft-computing approaches as well as using intelligent structures to compensate for forward kinematics errors. The tuned forward kinematics of industrial robot can then be used for high precision control of industrial robot for object handling and manipulation.

Motivated by the aforementioned issues, this Symposium invites original research papers devoted to techniques, methods, applications, and industrial case studies reporting soft-computing approaches for the modelling, control, and calibration of industrial robots. This symposium will provide the means to gather leading researchers around the world to publish their up-to-date techniques and share their latest results, their ideas, and topics for possible future research.

Organizer: Murat Alper BASARAN, Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University, Antalya, Turkey

Email: murat.basaran@alanya.edu.tr

Even though fuzzy univariate and partially fuzzy multivariate time series has been under comprehensive investigation, fuzzy nonlinear and multivariate time series analysis relatively studied less. However, recently, a growing interest has been directed to the methodological and implementation aspects of this research area. In this proposal, the nature of several data sets in many disciplines suggests that nonlinear models are more appropriate for forecasting and accurately describing the real structure of underlying phenomena. One of the approaches to deal with nonlinearity is fuzzy-based methodologies.

In contemporary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), the development of knowledge involves mathematical modelling processes that epistemologically and cognitively balance elements of theory, scientific computation, and experimentation. However, many current STEM education curricula and learning environments still do not reflect this range of epistemological and cognitive characteristics, particularly in what concerns the integration of computational knowledge and cognition in the learning-teaching processes, despite years of sustained recommendations supported by an increasing amount of scientific evidence. This Symposium is open to all interested in proposing contributions to improve on this situation. Topics include but are not limited to:

• STEM knowledge development and modelling paths.
• Conceptual understanding, mathematical reasoning and problem-solving.
• New approaches, curricula, or learning-teaching sequences.

Interdisciplinarity aims at obtaining the new by crossing boundaries between academic disciplines, and thinking across them.

Computer aided medical planning and simulation is a rapidly evolving research field that is going to alter dramatically the way practitioners perform their job. Mathematical models and computer simulations have a huge impact on modern medicine and engineering, in the treatment of diseases, in modeling engineering processes and prototypes and financial planning processes. For instance, a challenge lies in the modeling of the behavior of hard and soft tissue bringing together researchers from mathematics, medicine, economics, computer science and engineering. Another type of challenge could consist in data processing as subject to very general topics, including signal processing, field image or volume, with many applications in industry and medicine. Last but not least, modern medicine and state of the art engineering implies best "treatment" with cost effective optimization.

It should be emphasized that it is not expected the mathematician to become a physician or an engineer but to acquire interdisciplinary concepts and gain the ability to use and value modern methods across domains.

Besides talks of mathematicians, doctors and engineers, the master students, PhD students, post-doc students or junior researchers will have the opportunity to present their works.

Our minisymposium addresses issues related but not limited to:

• Pure and applied mathematics methods in medicine and engineering 
• Medical and engineering planning optimization
• Simulation and modeling in medicine and engineering
• Image processing and analysis
• 3D reconstruction
• Biomechanics, biocinematics, biostatics
• Modeling of hard and soft tissues and pathogens behavior
• Medical and engineering applications and software
• Education in medicine and engineering 
• Medical and engineering economics

Numerical simulation technology has been widely active in various disciplines and engineering fields to solve multi-physical problems, such as material behavior, thermal hydraulics, neutronics, fuel performance and other complex equipment fields. High- performance computing has been applied to accelerate advanced modeling and simulation in many different fields of engineering, such as virtual reactors, hydrology, meteorology, to solve multi-physical problems. The new generation of supercomputers and high-performance computing technology, especially the unprecedented computing capabilities of “exascale” supercomputers (millions of cores with 1018 floating point operations per second) bring researchers great opportunities on physical models, numerical methods, algorithms, and software engineering technologies, which promote the development of numerical simulation towards high-fidelity.

However, the high-fidelity numerical simulations, as some combination of physical models and exascale heterogeneous supercomputers, have proposed significant challenges because of increased processing units, accelerators, complex hierarchical memory systems, interconnection networks, storage and uncertainties in programming models. The interdisciplinary collaboration is becoming more and more important in high- fidelity numerical simulation. Realistic modeling and simulation need to combine physical modeling methods, mathematical models, parallel algorithms and tools for exploiting supercomputers effectively. Besides, multi-physics coupling environment, verification and validation (V&V) tools, and data analytics also play critical roles. Furthermore, massive and complex simulation data are produced by physical models and numerical methods, which usually span many orders of magnitude in time and space scales, with strong domain characteristics, such as diversity, relevance, the numerical and imprecise nature, and valuable domain scientific knowledge. The characteristics of the simulation data make it difficult to analyze, visualize, interpret and understand. It is necessary to develop new methods and highly scalable software with simulation big data which can be used to facilitate model evaluation and optimization, benchmarking, uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis, forecasting, etc. for specific domain issues, including irradiation effects in materials, CFD calculations, neutronics and fuel performance , etc.

This workshop focuses on novel mathematical modeling, parallel algorithms, high performance computing tools, various simulation data mining methods, algorithms and programs in reactor engineering, material science, CFD calculations, neutronics, fuel performance and other complex equipment fields. The fusion of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence and data mining for high-fidelity numerical simulation is particularly encouraged. We invite original research contributions, surveys, and case studies related to the workshop topics.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 Physical modeling for parallel simulations

 Multi-scale and multi-physics simulation

 Advanced numerical methods

 High-performance particle transport calculations

 Modeling and simulation in material performance and optimization

 Computational fluid dynamics in thermal hydraulics

Many people live in earthquake-prone areas, which are usually represented by very dense urban habitats. In these territories, structures, and infrastructures, often designed either without seismic regulations or with outdated earthquake standard codes, are often in poor conditions due to several reasons, such as age, degradation of materials, lack of maintenance, damages due to past natural and man-made hazards and so on. As a result, occupants and built heritage are dramatically at risk in case of earthquakes. The scarceness of funds and the reticence of public administrations to implement oriented and effective retrofit strategies represents a serious problem to be overpassed to avoid building collapse and, thus, potentially save human lives. The future of modern earthquake engineering will be dominated by new kinds of emerging technologies and new materials developed to reduce the seismic vulnerability of existing constructions.

The recent research results published in literature offer invaluable pointers to practicing designers and administrators, as well as other scientists, whose work involves saving the lives and property of the many millions of people who live and work in hazardous buildings.

Starting from these premises, in the current Special Session topics to be covered, but not limited to, are:

• Seismic assessment of existing masonry, RC, steel and timber structures
• Seismic analysis of existing infrastructures
• Existing and novel seismic assessment approaches
• Loss assessment and risk analysis of existing structures and infrastructures
• Seismic evaluation of non-structural components
• Evaluation of mechanical and physical properties of new retrofitting materials
• Traditional and new retrofitting methods and techniques
• Seismic and structural performances of retrofitted infrastructure
• Laboratory and full-scale tests on retrofitted structures
• Numerical simulation of existing and retrofitted structures and infrastructures
• Codification for seismic design, assessment and retrofitting

65) Title: Hybrid session on “Energy Harvesting from Mechanical and Wind Flow Induced Vibrations

Distributed energy harvesting from ambient vibration is facing increasing research activity and application demands. The recent developments favor nonlinear systems using multi-field devices with piezoelectric, electrostatic, and electromagnetic transducers reported much better efficiency showing a frequency broadband effect. On the other hand, energy obtained in this way could be sufficient to power simple wireless and portable devices. From an engineering point of view, the design of the predominant piezoelectric structure for obtaining energy from mechanical vibrations is based on a flexible beam/plate as a mechanical resonator and a piezoelectric patch. To include nonlinear effects, the beam is interacting with permanent magnets or a system of nonlinear springs.

A special attention is played on the system subjected to aerodynamic loads. Due to the fact that during ambient vibration harvesting, a wide spectrum of harmonics are excited, various coupled transducers adjusted and tested to different frequencies and/or air flow speeds.

This session is going to be organized in the frame of “21st International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics 2023” to be held at Heraklion, Crete, Greece on 11-17 September 2023.
