Summary
Numerical simulation methods have been increasingly used as important and powerful tools for solving science and engineering problems during the past decades, thanks to the rapid development of advanced algorithms and computer technology. Nowadays, as the problems to be solved are becoming larger in scale and more complex in mathematical descriptions, conventional mesh-based finite element and finite volume methods have encountered significant difficulties. Alternatively, a large number of meshless and mesh/dimension reduction methods have been developed.
Besides avoiding or reducing the domain discretization using volume elements, these methods have exhibited advantages for various types of problems. To name a few, meshless methods are very useful for solving large deformation problems, boundary element method is advantageous for the modeling of physics in infinitely-large domains and problems involving degenerate/moving boundaries, and particle methods are powerful in solving extreme fluid dynamic problems. Due to their unique features, these methods have attracted great attention and been applied successfully in many fields of science and engineering, e.g. fluid dynamics, fracture mechanics, electromagnetic waves, etc.
The objective of this mini-symposium is to bring together worldwide experts working on meshless, mesh/dimension reduction methods, and other novel computational methods, to share state-of-the-art research contributions in the relevant field and exchange ideas on the development as well as the application of these methods.

S6: Numerical Methods for Buckling Analysis and Design of Thin-Walled Structures
S6: Numerical Methods for Buckling Analysis and Design of Thin-Walled Structures
The load carrying capacity of thin-walled structures is known to be significantly influenced by stability aspects such as buckling. A reliable prediction of buckling phenomena requires a robust, efficient and accurate analysis tool and consideration of a number of inherent structural imperfections which often dominate the overall non-linear elastic response. The reliable prediction of buckling includes both critical load, instability deformation, secondary branches and imperfection sensitivities or any combination thereof and calls for sophisticated numerical methods which allow to assess the various physical responses during tracing the equilibrium path of structural buckling. Furthermore, robustness, accuracy and computational efficiency are key factors for an innovative and sustainable thin-walled structural design which exploits the full lightweight potential.
This mini-symposium aims at bringing together researchers from across the structural buckling community to discuss and exchange latest achievements in the field of novel numerical methods for buckling analysis and design of thin-walled structure research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to computational and algorithmic aspects of the analytical and semi-analytical methods, reduced-order modeling methods, finite element methods, isogeometric analysis, composite materials and optimization methods, for buckling modeling, analysis and design of thin-walled structures.

S7: Peridynamic Theory and Multiscale Methods for Complex Material Behavior
S7: Peridynamic Theory and Multiscale Methods for Complex Material Behavior
Simulation of complex material behavior presents huge challenges in computational science and engineering nowadays. Overcoming those challenges requires the development of novel mathematical models and computational methods. Examples of such challenges in classical solid mechanics include the characterization of the microstructure dependence of the material response, as well as the simulation of material failure and damage; similarly, the description of coupling multi-scale behaviors represents a challenge in classical theories. Peridynamics, as a new nonlocal theory, offers an alternative approach that avoids difficulties arising in classical local theories in the description of complex material behavior. Additionally, peridynamics as a nonlocal continuum model can be applied to coarse-grained molecular dynamics, potentially for bridging the atomistic scale to the continuum scale. Computational implementations of a peridynamic model, however, often cause huge computational cost and incompatibility with classical tractions-like boundary conditions. Multiscale coupling strategies that bridge local and nonlocal models seem to provide a solution to both the computational expense and the boundary treatment. Multiscale coupling methods, in general, refer to the class of mathematical and computational techniques for the problems that exhibit characteristic features at multiple scales. Several of these methods have been proposed in past years for the effective prediction of the material response in, e.g., composites and heterogeneous media. This mini-symposium invites contributions on recent developments on the peridynamic theory and multiscale coupling modeling for the simulation of complex material behavior.

S9: The Future of Technologies in Energy Transition: Modeling, Simulation and Machine Learning
S9: The Future of Technologies in Energy Transition: Modeling, Simulation and Machine Learning
Aims and Scopes:
Energy transition refers to the global energy sector’s shift from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption — including oil, natural gas and coal — to renewable energy sources like wind and solar, as well as hydrogen. Thanks to the economic and environmental friendliness, renewable energy is regarded as one of the ultimate solutions to human energy problems, which is profoundly affecting the long-term reconstruction of the world's energy supply and application system, and is accelerating the rapid change and generational development of transportation, power generation, industry and housing. Traditional fossil energy has strong geographical attributes, and the uneven distribution of typical coal, oil and gas resources has brought countries all over the world competing to control energy supply, transportation channels and application markets. The global energy governance system has experienced heavy impacts from the Gulf War and other major power game events, and is fragile and balanced with the continued turbulent situation in the Middle East. With the continuous changes in the international geopolitical pattern and the competitiveness of various countries, it is urgent to enter a new stage of stability. As a typical renewable energy, hydrogen is regarded as a future weapon for maintaining energy competitiveness by traditional fossil energy exporters (Saudi Aramco has exported "blue hydrogen" to Japan and announced a $5 billion green hydrogen construction plan), and it is regarded by traditional fossil energy importing countries as an important opportunity to fundamentally solve the problem of energy shortage. The world's major economies have made major strategic decisions on carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and the international energy community has also paid more attention to the new energy industry and accelerated the process of energy transition.
The fundamental driving force of energy transition lies in people's need and yearning for a better life, which combines the dual functions of climate governance and energy innovation. Renewable energy will become a green engine for building a community with a shared future for mankind. Clearly, the research focusing on the modeling and simulation techniques helps to understand the fundamental mechanisms in the new energy systems, including phase transitions, material stiffness and fluid flow. It also has a major role in the understanding and optimization of carbon reduction efforts, including carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). As an emerging technique accelerating our investigation in the practical complex emerging problems, machine learning has also been successfully applied in various directions in the energy transition processes. This symposium aims to bring together active scientists in the emerging field of modeling, simulation and machine learning to discuss recent advances in experimental studies, theoretical analysis and numerical modelling of various renewable energy problems and energy transition techniques. Of particular interest are research topics concerned with the interplay between policy analysis, laboratory experiments, computer science, and various engineering applications regarding energy transition, and the development and application of machine learning algorithms.

S14: Advances in Experimental and Mathematical Modeling of Mass and Heat Transfer in Shale Oil Extraction Systems
Energy extraction from shale oil resources has gained a great momentum in recent years to meet world’s ever-increasing demand of affordable energy. The performance of oil well systems for extracting energy from shale oil resources has been low due to the ultra-low permeability of shale oil reservoirs. The system performance is controlled by the efficiency of mass and heat transfer in the shale oil reservoirs.
Experimental and mathematical modeling of mass and heat transfer in shale oil reservoirs has played an important role in providing valuable information for understanding shale oil reservoirs and improving well system efficiency in recent years. However, accurate measurements and modeling of the coupled effect of mass and heat transfer in shale oil reservoirs still remain challenging due to limited data of reservoir heterogeneity.
This symposium offers an opportunity for researchers to share their most recent research and development work in experimental and mathematical modeling of mass and heat transfer in shale oil reservoirs. Topics of this symposium include, but are not limited to:
• State-of-the-art measurement of fluid flow in ultra-low shale samples.
• State-of-the-art measurement of heat transfer in ultra-low shale samples.

Engineers have been continuously striving to improve the efficiency of conventional problems of Structural Health Monitoring, of building and bridges. In recent years, an increasing role of Machine Learning in civil engineering – related areas has been observed, leading to many exciting and innovative applications. Machine Learning methods are problem-solving strategies that are used to find approximate solutions to complex problems. These methods are mainly inspired by the strategies that nature uses to solve problems. Most frequently, they are employed to substitute or enhance complex and computationally intensive mathematical models that have proved intractable for conventional analysis based on hard-computing strategies.
In Structural Health Monitoring, the classification of the cracks, the characteristic of the cracks and the intensity of the cracks can be measured by the Innovation methods (i.e Machine Learning, CNN, Image processing) and through Modern tools (UAVs, AUVs, and slow rate camera).

S28: Dynamics and Control of Complex Space Systems
Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of complex space systems, e.g., space telescopes, satellite antennas, solar power systems and deep space exploration transit station, which can use on-orbit assembly to construct various large space structures. In addition, small space platforms or modules can also use network topology to fully realize the complex performance of traditional large structures, and they can greatly reduce the costs and risks borne by a large complex space system, and significantly increase the flexibility and robustness of the system. Distributed space systems, e.g., constellation, cluster, swarms, fractionated satellite, and federated satellite, are typical complex space system including many flight vehicles distributed in different orbits cooperating with each other to perform a complex flight mission.
However, the main challenge of complex space systems lies in the complex dynamic coupling with the environment and inter switching topology, and multiple complex disturbances, e.g., external disturbances, model parameter uncertainties, controller’s perturbations, input delay, actuator fault signals, and other nonlinear perturbations widely act on space systems. The present generation of complex space systems should be capable of high-precision maneuvers and increased robustness to multiple complex disturbances.
The aim of this symposium is to collate original research and review articles that investigate the developments of dynamics and control of complex space systems.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

S30: Computational Methods in Space Flight Mechanics
S30: Computational Methods in Space Flight Mechanics
Computational mechanics has penetrated most disciplines of engineering and science. In an era of computer and automation, computational methods not only serve as simulating auxiliary, but also shape the development of many disciplines. This trend has been significant in the space flight mechanics since the Apollo program, although the computation capability by then is trivial compared to the off-the-shelf CPUs nowadays. Problems such as space trajectory design, orbital determination are obviously related with computational mechanics. However, it is seldom bluntly mentioned that the guidance and control of spacecrafts are also tied with computation, where inherently they are all trying to seek some forms of solutions in dynamical systems. The emphasis of computation in the aforementioned problems or technologies is to point out the following traits in contrast to traditional recognition:
(1) Numerical solutions and algorithms compatible with on-board computation are replacing the closed form guidance and control methods.
(2) The state-of-art algorithms, techniques, and philosophy in computational mechanics can inspire novel thoughts and insights in computational aspects of space flight mechanics.
(3) Rather than simply solving the problems numerically via brute force. The computational efficiency, reliability, accuracy, and robustness of the solution process are crucial to practical mission.
This symposium is to invite researchers to share their efforts in formulating, modeling, and analyzing the problems in space flight mechanics via computational methods.
Topics to be covered involve novel computational methods in the following aspects:
1.Attitude dynamics, determination and control
2.Dynamics and control of large space structures and tethers
3.Flight dynamics operations and spacecraft autonomy
4.Orbit determination and space-surveillance tracking

S34: Robust and Scalable Linear Solvers for Multiphysics Problems
S34: Robust and Scalable Linear Solvers for Multiphysics Problems
A broad range of multiphysics simulations is underway in the computational and engineering science community, as researchers increasingly confront questions about complex physical systems characterized by multiple interacting physical processes that have traditionally been considered separately. Accurate and efficient solutions to complex physical systems are significant in the domains of scientific prediction, engineering design, and policy making.
In particular, consistent implicit discretizations and suitable coupling schemes are paramount to accurate solutions. Implicit discretizations of multiphysics problems will introduce ill-conditioned linear systems. Coupling individual simulations may introduce limitations on stability, accuracy, or robustness that are more severe than the limitations imposed by the individual components. The main goal of this symposium is to promote the state-of-the-art iterative solvers for algebraic systems arising from multiphysics problems and to discuss the modern tools for implementing these solvers.
Keywords: Multiphysics problems, large-scale simulation, linear solvers

S39: Advances in Modeling, Simulation, and Control of Cyber-physical Systems (CPS)
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are complex dynamical systems that combine both physical (plant, process, network) and cyber (software, decision making algorithm, computation) components, whose operational evolutions are monitored, integrated, coordinated, and controlled by computing and control units. CPS exists in a wide variety of technological applications, such as intervention (e.g., collision avoidance); precision (e.g., robotic surgery and nano-level manufacturing); operation in dangerous or inaccessible environments (e.g., search and rescue, firefighting, and deep-sea exploration); coordination (e.g., air traffic control, war fighting); efficiency (e.g., zero-net energy buildings); and augmentation of human capabilities (e.g. in healthcare monitoring and delivery). Since the correct functioning of such systems is often safety-critical, their formal modeling and analysis (including reliability analysis) is of utmost importance. Ensuring reliability in CPS remains one of the most challenging problems in both academia and industry. CPS failures may occur due to the heterogeneous nature and inherent interconnection of the cyber/physical components and their behaviors, as well as the complex interaction between the discrete/continuous dynamics. Cyberattacks can also lead to CPS failures, as such attacks can generate (or intentionally change) events that transit – via communication and control layers – from one component (sensor, actuator) to another, and lead to executing operational sequence of events making the system to reach a dangerous or unsafe state. Hardware failures and malfunctions, and human intervention errors can also lead to CPS failures.
This Symposium aims to collect new contributions in the area of modeling, simulation, control, and reliability analysis of cyber-physical systems, ranging from the introduction of a new appropriate set of concepts and techniques to their practical implementation and applications with a particular emphasis on applied aspects.
Potential topics of this symposium mainly include, but are not limited to:

S41: Extremely Low-Power Communication for 6G
The rapid development of real-time Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications including green infrastructure, smart grids, smart city, intelligent transport networks, etc. enables Green communication between tens of billions of end devices such as wearable devices and sensors. The forthcoming sixth-generation (6G) experiences a new paradigm shift from connected things” to “connected intelligence”, which has limitations on spectrum, energy, cost and size. Ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) and Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) I have been identified as the promising technologies to meet the above demands. AmBC is attractive because it does not require a dedicated RF carrier emitter. Instead, it exploits ambient signals from existing wireless infrastructure and devices, such as radio towers, television (TV) towers, cellular base stations, and wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) access points. In addition, RIS can facilitate the reconfiguration of the wireless propagation environment by steering the incident signal through beamforming. Therefore, AmBC and RIS have attracted wide range of research from both academia and industry.
The goal of this research topic is to solicit original research papers, bringing together academic researchers and industrialists to report recent research advances in AmBC and IRS for 6G. The scope, mode, and quality of services can be greatly improved by AmBC and IRS enabled 6G, which has effectively promoted intelligent development and helped use limited resources more efficiently. In light of the future interest in critical 6G-enabled holographic communication, this Special Issue welcomes research that discusses channel modeling, fading performance analysis, transmission scheme design, resource allocation, and communication protocols of AmBC and IRS for 6G and to envision new research directions in the emerging fields of research.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connects existing isolated industrial systems into an integrated network for promoting automation and productivity in critical infrastructure. Especially, computational intelligence on individual systems and active data exchanges highly facilitates the smart manufacturing. However, many IIoT networks currently suffer from many risks and vulnerabilities due to the network communication. For example, the interconnected IIoT is easily transformed to botnets once one of the inner industrial systems is infected with malware. In addition, data communication between the individual systems can be easily intercepted and forged by attackers. These threats make IIoT not increases the actual benefits but compromise of the industrial products. Hence, the practical smart manufacturing calls for a reliable IIoT. Ensuring the reliability of the IIoT involves all aspects in the network, including software development and deployment, infrastructure design, and communication techniques, etc.

S51: Modeling of Multiphase Flow in Unconventional Reservoirs
S51: Modeling of Multiphase Flow in Unconventional Reservoirs
Unconventional oil/gas resources have become significant contributors to global hydrocarbon production in the past two decades and continue to grow in importance for the next few decades.

S59: Fracture Phase Field Method and Its Applications
S59: Fracture Phase Field Method and Its Applications
Pioneered by Francfort and Marigo, the phase-field theory avoids the tracking of mobile sharp crack surfaces, replacing the otherwise implied boundary conditions with a partial differential equation that governs the evolution of time- and space-dependent functions (phase-field). The governing equation of the phase-field is devised to guarantee that the motion of the diffused interfacial region complies with the prescribed physical laws, e.g., the Griffith’s brittle fracture theory. In this sense, the phase-field theory indeed serves as a regularized mathematical interface, which incorporates the complex sharp crack surface into a spatially smooth continuum scheme, and facilitates finite-element-based numerical implementations in a straightforward manner. In addition to the theory’s successful application to classical mechanical problems, e.g., composite delamination, functionally graded materials, rock fracture, large strain fracture of polymer, and interfacial fracture of concrete, the theory has been extended to many multi-physics problems, including hydrogen embrittlement, cement hydration, stress corrosion, Li insertion, coupled fluid–structure fracture, and polymer oxidative aging, etc.
After twenty year of Bourdin’s fundamental work on the fracture phase field, we initiate this Symposium to report and discuss recent progress in various aspects of variational fracture method.

1. Phase field model for multi-physical problems
2. High performance computing strategies for phase field
3. Multi-scale modeling within the framework of phase field

S64: Reliability Analysis of Composite Structure
S64: Reliability Analysis of Composite Structure
Composite structures have excellent damage tolerance, outstanding structural efficiency, and good design ability, which is widely used in aerospace structural components. With the improvement of equipment performance, the reliability of Composite structure is increasingly becoming a topic of concern. Because of the complexity of composites design and the diversity of composite materials, its failure mechanism is very complex, and its reliability analysis is faced with great challenges. It involves not only such as layer angle and layer thickness, but also the influence of other parameters, such as fiber volume fraction and fiber distribution mode of composite materials. In addition, the dispersion of materials is an important factor restricting the reliability of composites. Therefore, we need to carry out failure mechanism research, and quantify the uncertain factors of design, molding, machining, and assembly for composites, and then develop reliability analysis methods to improve the reliability of composite structures.
This Symposium will focus on the failure behaviors and mechanical properties of composite structures and the reliability analysis model. New experimental techniques and theoretical studies on these fields are highly welcome in this symposium.

S69: From Peridynamics to Peri-continuum Mechanics
S69: From Peridynamics to Peri-continuum Mechanics
Peridynamics is a novel computational method in mechanics. The classical continuum mechanics establishes the governing differential equations based on the celebrated "infinitesimal element'' method in mathematics that can be dated back to the birth of differential equation theory. In contrast, peridynamics considers the continuum to be a collection of peridynamic particles that are interacting with each other by long-range forces. By doing so, peridynamics becomes a nonlocal mechanics theory that is fundamentally different from the classical continuum mechanics, with both evident and potential advantages in solving fracture problems in engineering structures.
However, current peridynamics is still in its infant stage because it needs to solve some problems to become a fully advanced continuum mechanics theory: (1)it lacks consistent constitutive relations within the theory itself, and (2) the meso-scale damage model still can not fully reflect the characteristics of multi-scale physics of fracture, and (3) the intrinsic relations between bond-based and state-based theories are still vague.
This mini-symposium invites contributions on recent developments on the peridynamic theory that deepens understanding on peridynamic constitutive relations and damage models, and applications in engineering areas.

S79: Smart Concrete, New Functionalities and Nanotechnology
Cement-based concrete is the most used construction material in the world, ubiquitous in most of the infrastructures. Concrete infrastructure, however, is at the risk of premature failure when the degradation of concrete compromises their serviceability and reliability. The risk stems from complex interactions between concrete and the service environment, absence of advanced design and condition assessment approaches, and timely preservation or maintenance. Significant efforts are needed to maintain the aging infrastructure at a serviceable and safe state. Recent advances in nanotechnology and bio-concrete hold great promise to address these issues and potentially adding new functionalities and yet unexplored areas of self-sensing and self-healing properties. Examples of intelligent materials include concrete capable of sensing the variations of environmental and loading conditions and adopt suitable responses by altering one or more working parameters during their service life.

View Description
View Description
Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) are complex dynamical systems that combine both physical (plant, process, network) and cyber (software, decision-making algorithm, computation) components, whose operational evolutions are monitored, integrated, coordinated, and controlled by computing and control units.
Cyber-physical systems exist in a wide variety of technological applications, such as intervention (e.g., collision avoidance); precision (e.g., robotic surgery and nano-level manufacturing); operation in dangerous or inaccessible environments (e.g., search and rescue, firefighting, and deep-sea exploration); coordination (e.g., air traffic control, warfighting); efficiency (e.g., zero-net energy buildings); and augmentation of human capabilities (e.g. in healthcare monitoring and delivery). Since the correct functioning of such systems is often safety-critical, their formal modeling and analysis (including reliability analysis) are of utmost importance. One of the most challenging problems in the domain of cyber-physical systems is the heterogeneity of their components (such as sensors, actuators, signal processing units), which makes modeling and automated model processing difficult. To date, no unifying theory nor systematic design methods, techniques, and tools exist for such systems. Individual (mechanical, electrical, network or software) engineering disciplines only offer partial solutions for the design of cyber-physical systems.
This Symposium aims to collect new contributions in the area of modeling, simulation, and control as well as reliability analysis of cyber-physical systems, ranging from the introduction of a new appropriate set of concepts, techniques to their practical implementation and applications with a particular emphasis on applied aspects.
The topics of research areas covered for this Symposium are:
- Heterogeneous design of cyber-physical systems;
- Multi-Paradigm Modelling of cyber-physical systems;
- Reliability analysis of cyber-physical systems;
- Co-simulation of cyber-physical systems;
- Embedded design for cyber-physical systems;
- Control of cyber-physical systems;
- Formal verification of cyber-physical systems.
Keywords
Cyber-physical systems, modeling and simulation, control, reliability analysis, formal verification, embedded design.
