Book Description

Recent advances in the speed and efficiency of computers, and in computational techniques, have been major factors in the growth of numerical methods that now affect not only engineering, but our everyday lives. However, even if computational codes have been increasingly successful in simulating engineering problems, there still exists a wide range of them that need a comprehensive validation that can be accomplished only by means of experimental analysis. In the meantime, experimental measurements have become so sophisticated that experiments must very often be carried out with the help of computers and the data obtained have to be processed by means of numerical methods.

This book contains most of the papers presented at the 13th International Conference on Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements (CMEM/07) held in Prague in 2007. The primary aim of the meeting was to offer to the International Scientific Community an arena for the presentation and exchange of advanced approaches and applications in the fields of numerical methods and experimental determinations, with the principal attention and emphasis being devoted to their beneficial interaction and mutual influence.
