Workshop on Structural Analysis of Nonlinear Structures

4th Workshop on Structural Analysis of Lightweight Structures

Innsbruck, June 2, 2016

This workshop continues the tradition of biannual workshops organized jointly by INTALES and the University of Innsbruck. We are pleased to host the workshop at the premises of the Faculty of Engineering Science in Innsbruck this year.

The workshop focuses on the design, material properties and structural reliability of light weight structures as required for future aircrafts, launchers and spacecraft systems as well as in the automotive industry. To reach the cutting edge technology and scientific methodology, the organizing team has been engaged in a number of projects with companies and agencies about the design of lightweight structures in the past decade.

There is a need for new analysis tools that on the one hand can take advantage of today's high performance computing power and on the other hand are capable of modelling newly developed materials, especially composites. The tasks range from the development of new finite elements, the evaluation of laboratory tests, parameter identification to sensitivity and reliability analysis.

As in the previous years, the workshop will bring together practitioners from industry and academic researchers. In this spirit, this year's workshop will gather contributions ranging from material science, crash analysis, sensitivity, stochastic methods in parameter identification to computational aspects.
