Books by Keyword: Composite Structures

Description: This volume contains the abstracts presented at the 8th International Conference on Numerical Modelling in Engineering (NME 2025), held in Ghent, Belgium, from 29 to 31 July 2025. The conference gathered international experts from academia and industry to discuss recent advances in numerical methods such as FEM, BEM, and IGA, and their application across a broad spectrum of engineering disciplines. Special focus was placed on the industrial relevance of numerical simulations in fields including Civil, Aerospace, Mechanical, Materials, Biomedical, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering. The aim was to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, promote innovation, and facilitate the exchange of ideas and methodologies among researchers and practitioners.

Description: Composite structures are massively exploited in many engineering fields. For instance, the state-of-the-art civil aircraft (B787 and A350) are mostly made of composite materials. The design of composites leads to challenging tasks since those competencies that stemmed from the adoption of metallic materials are often inadequate for composites. Insights on many different disciplines and tight academic/industrial cooperation are required to fully exploit composite structure capabilities.
