Abstract:
Numerical simulation is omnipresent in the industry to understand our environment, design efficient objects or predict events and results. In order to calibrate numerical models, to measure the output variability and to determine the influence of the model inputs, one needs to explore the space of the input variables and associated space of output results.
The increase of computing power makes it possible to carry out increasingly complex simulations. However, the time required to run many of our simulation codes still makes it impossible to follow methods based on exhaustive exploration of the input space.
Therefore, surrogate modeling associated or not to dimension reduction techniques (on inputs or multidimensional outputs) are required to get access to analyses and interpretations of interest with physics-based simulation codes.
This mini symposium aims to reveal some recent advances regarding the use of surrogate models and dimension reduction on input or output or numerical models for model calibration, uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis and to present some operational and industrial applications of these techniques. We hope to provide a forum for exchanging ideas between diverse groups from academia, industry, and government laboratories, thereby enhancing communication and contributing to future advances in the field.

Abstract:
Established engineering works and projects show us that architecture and structure projects must be conceived and developed together. Despite this, what we normally see is a relation of distance between these two elements of civil construction. This mini-symposium aims to bring together the two fields of knowledge and show that the design of the structural system plays an essential role in determining the architectural design. Projects that explore the relationship between architecture and structure and the direct relationship between form and structure, where the definition of the structural system has effective participation since the design of the projects, provide works marked by structural boldness and major technological challenges. The mini symposium aims to gather contributions and obtain data that, through analyzes that use computational technologies and numerical methods, allow us to understand how the structural design allied to architectural creation provide innovative aesthetic results. Through these studies, it is possible to emphasize the importance of the technical knowledge for the realization of projects of good quality, evidencing the presence of the structural system in the architectural form. These analyzes contribute to the understanding of the importance of technical and technological knowledge for the production of an innovative architecture.

Abstract:
Held since 2004 in Recife, this symposium is one of the most traditional at CILAMCE. In 2022, recognizing the importance of the Itaipú hydroelectric plant for national engineering, we planned special sessions dedicated to the numerical modeling of massive concrete. Therefore, for XLIII CILAMCE in Foz do Iguaçu we are specially calling for papers dedicated to the numerical modeling of concrete in hydropower plants and massive concrete in general. We are also proud to announce that Dr. Étore Funchal de Faria, from Itaipú, will co-chair our symposium.
The general topics covered by the symposium are:
Numerical modeling of concrete structures including buildings, bridges, nuclear power plants, foundations and special structures such as the cement sheath of oil wells and refractory concretes. The models may include the several scales, from the nano scale to the macroscopic scale and encompass the thermal, chemical, and mechanical phenomena. The symposium comprises different types of cementitious materials such as bioconcretes, engineered cementitious composites (ECC), natural fiber reinforced concretes, ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concretes, etc. Numerical analysis of phenomena that affect the durability of concrete like alkali-silica reaction and delayed ettringite formation, are also welcome in the symposium.

Abstract:
This mini-symposium addresses both theoretical and practical aspects of particle-based computational methods that can be effectively used for solving a variety of problems in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, fluid-structure interaction, heat transfer, and many others. Contributions dealing with the discrete element method (DEM), the particle finite element method (PFEM), the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH), the material point method (MPM) and the moving particle semi-implicit method (MPS), among others, are welcome. Likewise, the coupling of these methods with other established numerical procedures, such as (but not only) the finite element method, the finite difference method and meshless techniques, is considered.

Abstract:
This mini-symposium aims to provide a forum for dissemination of the research conducted by undergraduate students (under the guidance of a supervisor) in all fields of computational methods in engineering and related sciences. Participants are eligible to the Agustín Ferrante Award, a traditional student competition promoted by ABMEC to foster young researchers’ participation and acknowledge undergraduate students who show potential for outstanding scientific achievements. Contenders must submit an application form to the congress secretariat (soon available in the Instruction to Authors of the congress website).

Abstract:
Machine Learning (ML) is fundamentally changing several industries and businesses in many ways, for example in the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry, in Health Care, Social Media, IoT, etc. Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) is part of this ongoing digital transformation. As more and more data becomes available the blending of Data Science with CSE is inevitable, also because of their common grounds in Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. Since it has its own challenges, this new scientific endeavor gained its own denomination: Scientific Machine Learning (SciML). Data-driven models are still an option, but sometimes they fail since the requirements of physical laws are needed to constraint the predictive model. Methodologies for building Surrogate Models, like Model Order Reduction, for example, gained new flavors. Another area with considerable momentum in the past few years and with great synergy with SciML is Uncertainty Quantification (UQ). This mini-symposium intends to gather researchers and professionals involved in the application and advancement of SciML and UQ. We welcome works ranging from numerical analysis, industrial applications, engineering, biology, and IoT. We expect a wide range of presentations from fundamentals to advanced applications.

Abstract:
Structural design should be robust with respect to uncertainties inherently present in resistance of structural materials, environmental and man-imposed loads, boundary conditions, physical, mathematical and numerical models, and generally to different types of intrinsic and epistemic uncertainties. Structural performance and reliability should be robust against unexpected fluctuations or changes in problem parameters. Proper decision making in presence of uncertainties is fundamental to avoid severe or fatal consequences and/or costly posteriori changes over the built structure. These issues have led to the recent development of structural reliability methods and reliability-based optimization. This mini-symposium aims at bringing together researchers, academics and practicing engineers concerned with the various forms of structural reliability analysis and structural optimization in presence of uncertainties. Contributions addressing both theoretical developments and practical applications, in the following topics, are invited:
1. Structural reliability methods (Approximated reliability methods, Monte Carlo simulation, Advanced simulation methods);
2. Applications of structural reliability to challenging engineering problems;
3. Robust structural optimization;
4. Performance-based optimization;
5. Reliability-based structural optimization;
6. Risk management and optimization;
7. Modeling of extreme or rare events;
8. Decision-making in presence of uncertainties;
9. Modeling of uncertainty with probability theory, Bayesian theory,
imprecise probabilities including evidence theory, interval models, fuzzy set theory, information gap theory, etc;
10. Probabilistic inverse problems: identification, state estimation, Bayesian Optimal Experimental Design;
11. Structural health monitoring, system identification and damage detection;
12. Development and application of surrogate models for uncertainty quantification and structural optimization.
