The main purpose of the Section “Recent Advances in Numerical Methods and Simulations in Statics and Dynamics of Structures” is the presentation of new methods to analyse of safety and reliability of the structures under extreme loads as the earthquake and climatic loads (temperature, wind, snow, rain and others), terroristic attack (aircraft, missile, blast, fire and others) or technology accident (explosion, high temperature and others). The nonlinear material and geometric behaviour of structures is necessary consider during extreme loads. The risk the structure collapse is determined by the model and resistance uncertainties. The deterministic and probabilistic analysis of the structure failure during the extreme loading can be used. The probabilistic assessment gives us the most complex analysis of the acceptable level of risk. Recently, the theories of probability and statistics and reliability have provided the bases for modern structural design codes and specifications.

The main objectives of the Mini-symposium are developing:

• The advanced methods and simulations of structure failure under extreme loads,
• The nonlinear material and geometric  model of structures and the effective numerical methods,
• The advances in the soil-base-structure or soil-fluid-structure interaction analysis under seismic loads,
• The experimental tests and the fluid simulation of the blast or extreme wind impact on  structures with various shape,
• The optimisation of  the new composite materials or structure shape to have the higher safety of the structure under impact of extreme loads,

30) Title: Third Symposium on Mathematical Modelling of Hydrological Sciences

Organizer: Francesco Napolitano & Fabio Russo, Sapienza Università di Roma, DICEA (Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile Edile Ambientale)

E-mail: francesco.napolitano@uniroma1.it, fabio.russo@uniroma1.it

 

Since the origin of Hydrological sciences the connection between natural phenomena and mathematical formulation of solutions has been clearly identified as a main topic. Reliability and simplicity are thus two of the most important words for people who are involved in such researches, and the main objectives for operators in this field.
Every aspect of hydrological sciences can be improved by Mathematical Modelling, from comprehension and modelling of extreme events (for both wet and dry periods), to management of water systems (natural or artificial), until the source of many uncertainty for this kind of problems: the meteorological field.
Data collection and computation still remain of great importance, from the measurement of hydro-meteorological variables to the analysis of big datasets and historical series. Efforts in such direction are also the ones  oriented in regionalization, spatial distribution and extension of prediction to ungauged sites.

Topics of interest of the symposium include:
 (i) catchment hydrology, (ii) hydrological forecasting, (iii) water management, (iv) operations and control, (v) remote sensing and data assimilation, (vi) precipitation and climate.

Time series analysis is a hot area in many fields of science and engineering. Time series are used in economics, finance, signal processing, pattern recognition, weather forecasting, control engineering, transport and trajectory forecasting, communications engineering, and in any research field which involves temporal measurements. Time series are analyzed in order to understand the main structure, changes in the time, understanding mechanisms of the observations. Time series analysis comprises methods for time series data in order to characterize, explain and control the processes. Methods for time series analysis may be divided into the time domain or the frequency domain methods, parametric or nonparametric methods, linear or non-linear methods, univariate or multivariate methods. All these methods can be applied to real-valued, continuous data or discrete data. For example there can be methods for signal detection and estimations, data mining, machine learning methods for non-linear analysis, methods for time series clustering, classification, segmentation or forecasting.  Although the search for a best time series forecasting method continues, it is agreeable that no single method will outperform all others in all situations.
