The K.J. Bathe Award for the Best Paper by a Young Researcher in the Field of Computational Engineering published in the International Journal Computers & Structures
Computers & Structures is pleased to announce that the first K.J. Bathe Award will be made in 2008. This award is named to recognize the outstanding contributions made by Professor K.J. Bathe over many years to the field of computational engineering. The Award includes a certificate and 2,000 euros donated by the publishers of Computers & Structures, Elsevier Ltd. An international panel chaired by Prof. Barry Topping will select the winner. The panel's decision is final. This Award is made every two years during the time of the World Congresses.
The K.J. Bathe Award 2008 will be given to an author of the best paper published in Computers & Structures in the years 2006 and 2007. Applications are now closed, and the Award will be presented in Venice on Monday 30 June, after the editorial board meeting of Computers & Structures
The K.J. Bathe Award 2010 will be given to an author of the best paper published in Computers & Structures in the years 2008 and 2009. The author should be under the age of 40 on 1 January 2010. The final date for the receipt of applications is 15 December 2009. Full details of both the 2008 Award and the 2010 Award will be found at
The K.J. Bathe Award
Description
Computers & Structures
publishes advances in the development and use of computational methods for the solution of
problems in engineering and the sciences. The range of appropriate contributions is wide, and includes papers on establishing appropriate
mathematical models and their numerical solution in all areas of mechanics. The journal also includes articles that present a substantial
review of a field in the topics of the journal.
With the modern use of computers and numerical methods to model and solve problems,
the traditional boundaries between the fields of solid/structural mechanics and fluid mechanics hardly exist any longer, and multiphysics
problems are solved that involve all aspects of mechanics. The word 'structures' must therefore now be interpreted in a broad sense
including solids, fluids and multiphysics.
Computers & Structures
publishes papers in these fields that either
present novel techniques, or offer substantial new insights into established methods. If a paper presents novel techniques, some comparison
with known methods is necessary. If a paper is to provide substantial new insights, then this can be achieved by strong numerical experiments,
some mathematical analysis, and/or comparisons with physical test data.
The focus of
Computers & Structures
is
on having an impact on the practice of simulations in mechanics as found in many industries and research endeavours, including the fields
of engineering, such as civil and environmental, mechanical, biomechanical, automotive, aeronautical, and ocean engineering, and including
the various fields of the sciences.
In these areas, papers are sought on the automatic solution of mathematical models of 'structures'
in the broadest sense, possibly including phenomena of multiphysics, multiscale, and uncertainties. Also, papers presenting algorithms
for optimization and the simulation of complete life cycles of systems are sought.
Established in 1971, and with online submission
and review launched in 2006,
Computers & Structures
is indispensable for researchers and practitioners in academic,
governmental and industrial communities.
