Numerical Modeling for Wave Propagation in Elastic Media

10:15 AM-12:15 PM
Room 242

The numerical modeling of elastic waves (waves propagating in elastic solids) is important in many applications, such as geophysics, non-destructive testing, and fluid-structure interaction. The wide range of applications explains the large number of numerical methods developed in this domain. Currently the most used methods are finite differences, finite elements, spectral methods and boundary elements. The object of this minisymposium is to present recent developments in highly accurate methods (high-order finite elements spectral methods) for solving specific problems such as fluid-structure interaction, propagation in complex media, involving heterogeneities, anisotropy, cracks, and also particular problems linked to the time-domain approximation (mass lumping, adaptive time-space meshes).
