Numerical Modelling

The commercial development of novel semiconductor devices requires that their properties be examined as thoroughly and rapidly as possible. These properties are investigated by obtaining numerical solutions of the highly nonlinear coupled set of equations which govern their behaviour. In particular, the existence of interfaces between different material layers in heterostructures means that quantum solutions must be found in the quantum wells which are formed at these interfaces.

This book gathers outstanding papers on numerical modeling in Civil Engineering (Volume 1) as part of the 2-volume proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Numerical Modeling in Engineering (NME 2021), which was held in Ghent, Belgium, on 24-25 August 2021. The overall objective of the conference was to bring together international scientists and engineers in academia and industry from fields related to advanced numerical techniques, such as the finite element method (FEM), boundary element method (BEM), isogeometric analysis (IGA), etc., and their applications to a wide range of engineering disciplines. This volume covers numerical simulations with industrial civil engineering applications such as bridges and dams, cyclic loading, fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, geotechnical engineering, thermal analysis, reinforced concrete structures, steel structures, and composite structures.
