Modelling, Simulation and Software Concepts for Scientific-Technological Problems

This edited volume gathers interdisciplinary research papers on computational modelling. Its chapters examine numerical methods that control error, efficient algorithms, and the development of scientific software. Elastic and inelastic deformation processes receive attention, alongside models that operate across several scales and combine multiple physical phenomena.

A central focus is high-performance adaptive numerical methods built on the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM). The contributors also describe efficient solvers for linear systems and software components for nonlinear, coupled field equations. These tools serve problems in mechanics, electromagnetics and the geosciences.
