Computational Mechanics A mathematical model describes the physical behavior of a system Usually a system of differential equations In nonsmooth mechanics, variational inequalities Numerical approximation of the solution (finite elements, etc), System of nonlinear equations or Complementarity problems Postprocessing of solutions, optimization etc. 3
Masonry structures Bridges Fortification walls Masonry buildings Churches 4
Strength analysis and rehabilitation Static and aseismic design Limit analysis and collapse Aposteriori analysis of causes Reliability analysis Design and optimization of strengthening Intervention, strengthening, change of usage 5
Special topics related to monuments Poor documentation and knowledge of materials etc Solution of inverse and parameter identification problems Flexible multipart structures Strongly nonlinear effects (contactseparation, stick-slip in friction), require methods of computational nonsmooth mechanics Stiff, heavy structures Delicate dynamic analysis (possibly more than one eigenmodes are involved) 6
