ACME2014 22nd UK National Conference of the Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering 2nd - 4th April 2014 College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, University of Exeter, UK Book of Abstracts Edited by: Akbar Javadi Mohammed S. Hussain March 2014 University of Exeter, UK PREFACE The UK Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering (ACME) was founded with the aim of promoting research in computational mechanics and various engineering applications and establishing formal links and with similar organisations in Europe and the International Association of Computational Mechanics (IACM). One of the principal activities of ACME involves the organisation of the annual conference. The first such conference took place at the University College of Wales Swansea in 1993. Since then, the conferences have provided a forum for reviewing research activities in many areas of mechanics, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects. The conferences have proved to be particularly useful events for bringing together researchers from different disciplines, and especially for providing young researchers with opportunities to present their work. These conference proceedings contain more than 80 short abstracts presented at the 22nd ACME Conference that was held in the Department of Engineering at the University of Exeter from 3rd to 4th April 2014, following the 3rd ACME School on 2nd April, where four lectures were delivered on the topics of Isogeometric Analysis and Automatic Meshing by renowned academics. On behalf of the local organising committee, I would like to thank many people who have contributed to this conference, especially, all the authors who meticulously prepared their papers and presented their original research. I would like to express my gratitude to the three invited keynote speakers, Professor Hywel Thomas, Mr Adrian Gaylard and Professor Bassam Izzuddin for their thought provoking lectures and seminal scholarly contributions. I would also like to thank the speakers of the ACME School, Professor Sven Klinkel, Dr Ido Akkerman, Dr Robert Simpson and Professor Philippe Young, for their excellent lectures on the very important topics covered in the School. I would like to acknowledge the support received from the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences of the University of Exeter in the organisation of this conference. In particular, I would like to thank Ms Karen Pope, Ms Denise Watts and Mr Chris Snow for providing assistance and advise on financial issues and IT services. Finally, I would like to thank the local organising committee members, with special thanks to Mr Mohammed S. Hussain for his dedication and hard work in the day-to-day organisation of ACME2014 conference. Akbar Javadi Vice-Chairman of ACME 2014 INVITED PLENARY LECTURES Prof. Hywel Thomas Prof. Hywel Thomas is Pro Vice-Chancellor, Engagement and International, Professor of Civil Engineering, and Founder Director of the Geoenvironmental Research Centre (GRC) at Cardiff University. Prof. Thomas will give a lecture on Geoenergy Research Applications. Mr. Adrian Gaylard Mr. Adrian Gaylard is Jaguar Land Rover's Aerodynamics Technical Specialist. He is the Chair of the Aerodynamics Activity at the SAE and a member of the European Car Aerodynamics Research Association. Adrian will speak on the Application of Unsteady Aerodynamic Simulation in Automotive Engineering. Prof. Bassam Izzuddin Prof. Bassam Izzuddin is Head of the Computational Structural Mechanics (CSM) Group at Imperial College London. He will give a lecture on Partitioned Modelling for Nonlinear Analysis of Large-Scale Structural Systems using High Performance Computing, presenting applications to realistic structures subject to extreme loading.
