Green's Functions and Boundary Element Analysis for Modeling of MechanicalBehavior of Advanced Materials

摘要

The use of Green's functions and boundary element analysis for modeling themechanical behavior of advanced materials was explored by representatives of universities, industries, and national laboratories in a workshop. Discussion groups following the presentation of papers led to the identification of research topics of industrial interest: fracture and damage in heterogeneous and layered materials, characterization of multiphase materials, nondestructive measurement techniques, electrochemical machining technology, and analysis of the growth of thin films.
