Preface

This book contains selected papers from the second International Conference onAdvances in Computational Mechanics (ACOME 2017), held at Phu Quoc Island,Vietnam, from 2 August to 4 August 2017. The conference provides an interna-tional forum for scholars and researchers to exchange knowledge and expertise inthe development of modern numerical methods and their applications to chal-lenging engineering problems. The ACOME conference in 2017 received over140 submissions from different universities and research institutes of 20 countries.They were allocated into 6 parallel technical sessions, including eight plenarytalks and several keynote talks. This book contains 75 selected papers from theconference that cover “Biological Systems”, “Computational Fracture and DamageMechanics”, “Catastrophic Destruction Mechanics and Numerical Modelling”,“Computational Mechatronics”, “Composites and Hybrid Structures”, “FlowProblems”, “Multiscale Multiphysics Problems”, “Numerical Methods andHigh-Performance Computing”, “Optimisation and Inverse Problems”, “ReinforcedConcrete, Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Structures”. These papers wereselected in a peer-reviewing process by at least two independent reviewers that arerecognised experts in the topical field.

The editors would like to thank all the authors for their contributions to thisconference. We also express our sincere gratitude to the dedicated reviewers fortheir time and contribution to enhance the scientific quality of the manuscripts.

The conference was jointly hosted by the Vietnam Association of ComputationalMechanics (VACOM) and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology(HUTECH). We gratefully acknowledge the financial support from the sponsors:National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (NAFOSTED),SAKI Corporation, Duy Tan University (DTU) and China Medical UniversityTaiwan (CMU).
