Synopsis

This volume is a collection of articles contributed by colleagues, collaborators and past students to honor Professor John T. Katsikadelis on the occasion of his 70 years. Professor Katsikadelis, now an emeritus professor at the National Technical University of Athens in Greece, is one of the BEM pioneers. He started his research in this field with his PhD thesis at the Polytechnic Institute of New York in the 1970s and continues it to date. The book comprises 28 contributions by more than 45 leading researchers in Boundary Element Methods (BEM) and other Mesh Reduction Methods (MRM). All contributors are well-known scientists from all over the world, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. The volume is essentially a collection of both original and review articles covering a variety of research topics in the areas of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, potential theory, composite materials, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, plasticity, heat transfer, dynamics and vibrations and soil-structure interaction. Invaluable to scientists, engineers and other professionals interested in the latest developments of the boundary integral equation methods, the book addresses the needs of the BEM computational mechanics research community.

About this title

About the Author

Evangelos SAPOUNTZAKIS is Associate Professor in the Department of Structural Engineering of the School of Civil Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, from which institution he obtained his PhD in Engineering, with a focus on Static and Dynamic Analysis of Structures. He also currently serves as Professor of Structural Analysis at the School of Corps of Engineers of the Hellenic Army. He is the author of numerous journal articles, conference papers, and book contributions on the boundary element method and the editor of several conference proceedings. He has served as reviewer and/or editorial board member for a number of international engineering journals. His research focuses on: Linear and Nonlinear Theory of Elasticity; Generalized Beam Theory; Elastic Stability of structures (beams, plates); Static and Dynamic Analysis of Framed and Shell Structures by Numerical Methods - Finite Differences, Finite Elements, Boundary Integral Equations, Boundary Elements; Nonlinear Inelastic Analysis of Structures (Beams, Plates); Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Bars. Postbuckling Equilibrium Path; Modeling for the Static and Dynamic Analysis of Multi-Storey Buildings, Bridges and Large-Scale Civil Engineering Structures; Creep and Shrinkage Effects in Concrete Structures; Precast Elements in Structures with Different Time of Casting; and Static and Dynamic Analysis of Composite Structures.
