Computational Intelligence (CI) is new field of research. It is a part of Artificial Intelligence (AI). CI is the study of adaptive mechanisms to enable or facilitate intelligent behavior in complex and changing environments. In generally a CI includes artificial neural networks, evolutionary computing, swarm intelligence and fuzzy systems.  Today a lot of researches use these concepts of CI to solve many real-world problems in different fields. Among these fields we can find data analysis, communication, robotics, etc. For example, in the problem of clustering and classification of big data, some researchers used the neural networks, evolutionary algorithms and fuzzy logic to find clusters.

One of the major challenges nowadays in Computational Mechanics is to go to real-scale real-size real-time while getting best-estimated solutions. For industrial purposes, modeling the complexity in the context of High Performance Computing tends to generate huge volumes of data whose analysis, treatment and storage imply new requirements in terms of human-compatible algorithm developments and resource uses. Several examples in the field of fluid mechanics and fluid structure interaction are used to illustrate advanced numerical methods useful for design in the context of industrial studies.

Starting from the reality that there is always more to discover about nonlinear dynamical systems, this mini-symposium aims to bring together researchers concerned with applying the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Approach to nonlinear and strongly nonlinear dynamical systems from various fields of engineering. It is expected to be emphasized new developments and improvements of this approach with applications in classical mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, nonlinear oscillations, electrical machines, and other engineering branches where nonlinear dynamical systems are involved.

 

76) Title: Dynamical Systems and their Applications to Advanced Materials, Structures and Technologies

Organizer: Prof. Jiří Vala, Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Veveří 95, CZ‐602 00 Brno, Czech Republic

E-mail: vala.j@fce.vutbr.cz

 

The theoretical, numerical and computational analysis of dynamical systems and their  applications to the analysis of problems coming from civil, mechanical, electrical, etc. engineering and related subject fields, their formal verification and practical validation of relevant approaches constitute the unifying idea of this symposium, whose significance should be seen just in the confrontation of different approaches and intensification of multidisciplinary cooperation of experts (mathematicians, physicists, engineers, ...). Leaving nice model cases and seeing the real-world problems, we come to serious difficulties

 

a) in the formal analysis of existence, uniqueness, stability, etc. of solutions,

b) in the convergence of sequences of approximate solutions, as well as

c) in the design of sufficiently robust and inexpensive algorithms for direct, sensitivity and inverse problems.

 

The unification approaches addressed to the continuous and discrete analysis, namely to the study of integral, differential, difference, etc. equations from engineering practice, both deterministic and stochastic ones, including their formulation on time scales, is needed: the theoretical problems include e.g.

 

i) stability and observability of dynamical systems on time scales, their qualitative and quantitative analysis,

ii) filtration of inner states of such systems and

iii) identification of systems of orthogonal functions.

 

The scope of applications is not limited, but both theoretical and computational predictions of mechanical, thermal, etc. behaviour of advanced materials and structures and control of related technologies, up to the development of modelling and simulation software tools, are welcome.
