European Invited Workshop on Innovations in Fractional Calculus and Applications to Functional and Biological Materials
Abstract
The objective of this project is to organize an invitational workshop in Europe that brings together researchers from academia and government to discuss innovations in fractional calculus and novel nonlocal methodologies and their applications to materials science modeling and problems. The workshop will invite eminent researchers from around the globe to discuss problems and opportunities for leveraging fractional and non-local methods to model and define materials processes and applications. Topics covered will include new methodologies, new innovations, viscoelasticity, heat conduction, diffusion in porous media, non-local continua, fractal media, and problem areas. The workshop organization will have a combination of invited and keynote talks, panel discussions, and brainstorming. The outcome of the workshop is the identification of key research challenges facing the community, possible paths forward to addressing them, opportunities to exploit the field for greater understanding of material processes and the ability to predict them, and where fractional methods have advantages over traditional non-fractional and more local differential equation approaches. The findings and research agenda resulting from this workshop can eventually help Army engineers, scientists, program managers, and contractors in developing materials and structures with superior properties in extreme environments.
