Abstract

List of Chairman and International Scientific Committee members are available in this pdf.EditorialThis volume contains the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Numerical Modelling in Engineering (NME), 19-22 August 2019, Beijing, China. Numerical Modelling in Engineering 2019 is the 2nd NME conference, whereas the 1st NME conference was celebrated in Ghent (Belgium, 2018).The overall objective of the conference is to bring together international scientists and engineers in academia and industry in fields related to advanced numerical techniques, such as FEM, BEM, IGA, etc., and their applications to a wide range of engineering disciplines. The conference covers industrial engineering applications of numerical simulations to Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, etc. The presentations of NME 2019 are divided into two main sessions, namely 1) Mechanical and Materials Engineering and 2) Civil Engineering. The papers that are presented in NME 2019 include stress analysis, thermal analysis, solid structures, fluid mechanics, contact mechanics, biomechanics, Acoustic analysis, finite element analysis and boundary element analysis. The conference gathers international scientists from more than 20 different countries.The organising committee is grateful to keynote speakers; Prof. Guirong Liu, University of Cincinnati, USA, for his keynote lecture entitled ‘Numerical Methods: Indispensable Tools for Engineering Applications’ and Professor Hussam Mahmoud, George T. Abell Professor in Infrastructure, the Department of Civil Engineering, Colorado State University (CSU), USA, for his keynote lecture entitled ‘Advances in Computational Methods for the Assessment of Structures under Fires and Fire Following Earthquakes’.Special thanks go to members of the Scientific Committee of NME 2019 for reviewing the articles published in this volume and for judging their scientific merits. Based on the comments of reviewers and the scientific merits of the submitted manuscripts, the articles were accepted for publication in the conference proceedings and for presentation at the conference venue. The accepted papers are of a very high scientific quality and contribute to advancement of knowledge in all research topics relevant to NME conference.Finally, the organising committee would like to thank all authors, who have contributed to this volume and presented their research work at the confrence venue in Beijing, China.Professor Magd Abdel WahabChairman of NME 2019
