Computational Particle Mechanics

英文简介

GENERAL OBJECTIVES: Computational Particle Mechanics (CPM) is a quarterly journal with the goal of publishing full-length original articles addressing the modeling and simulation of systems involving particles and particle methods. The goal is to enhance communication among researchers in the applied sciences who use "particles'' in one form or another in their research. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Particle-based materials and numerical methods have become wide-spread in the natural and applied sciences, engineering, biology. The term "particle methods/mechanics'' has now come to imply several different things to researchers in the 21st century, including: (a) Particles as a physical unit in granular media, particulate ?ows, plasmas, swarms, etc., (b) Particles representing material phases in continua at the meso-, micro-and nano-scale and (c) Particles as a discretization unit in continua and discontinua in numerical methods such as Discrete Element Methods (DEM), Particle Finite Element Methods (PFEM), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), to name a few. CPM will focus on the above topics. We welcome works in a variety of applications including, but not limited to: (a) Particulate and granular flow problems motivated by high-tech industrial processes such as those stemming from spray, deposition and printing processes(b) Fluid-structure interaction problems accounting for free surface flow effects in civil and marine engineering (water jets, wave loads, ship hydrodynamics, debris flows, etc.), (c) Coupled multiphysical phenomena involving solid, fluid, thermal, electromagnetic and optical systems (d) Material design/functionalization using particles to modify base materials, (e) Manufacturing processes involving forming, cutting, compaction, material processing,(f) Biomedical engineering, involving cell mechanics, molecular dynamics and scale-bridging and (g) Impact resulting in fracture and fragmentation.

中文简介

一般目标：计算粒子力学（CPM）是一本季刊，其目标是出版涉及粒子和粒子方法的系统建模和模拟的完整原创文章。其目的是加强应用科学研究人员之间的交流，这些研究人员在他们的研究中使用一种或另一种形式的“粒子”。具体目标：基于粒子的材料和数值方法在自然科学和应用科学、工程、生物学中得到了广泛的应用。“粒子方法/力学”一词现在对21世纪的研究人员来说意味着几个不同的事情，包括：（a）颗粒作为颗粒介质、颗粒流、等离子体、蜂群等中的物理单元，（b）在中、微观和纳米尺度上连续表示材料相的粒子（c）粒子作为一个连续的离散单位，在数值方法如其中包括离散元法（DEM）、粒子有限元法（PFEM）、分子动力学（MD）和光滑粒子流体动力学（SPH）。CPM将关注上述主题。我们欢迎在各种应用中工作，包括但不限于：（a）由高技术工业过程引起的颗粒和颗粒流动问题，例如由喷雾、沉积和印刷过程产生的颗粒和颗粒流问题（b）土木和海洋工程中考虑自由表面流效应的流体-结构相互作用问题（水射流、波浪荷载、船舶流体动力学、泥石流等）；（c）涉及固体、流体、热、电磁和光学系统的耦合多物理现象（d）使用颗粒修改基材的材料设计/功能化，（e）涉及成形、切割、压实、材料加工的制造工艺；（f）生物医学工程，涉及细胞力学、分子动力学和尺度桥接，以及（g）导致断裂和碎裂的冲击。
