2009 Southern California Symposium on Network Economics and Game Theory
Thu, Oct 01, 2009 @ 08:00 AM - 06:00 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
2009 Southern California Symposium on Network Economics and Game TheoryOctober 1-2, 2009, 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM, USC Kerckhoff HallThe year marks the first annual Southern California Network Economics and Game Theory Symposium and we would like to invite anyone in Southern California interested in the interaction of networks and economics to attend the workshop. The workshop will be held October 1-2 at USC in Kerckhoff Hall, and more details can be found at:http://medianetlab.ee.ucla.edu/SocalNEGTThe goal of the workshop is to help to create and nurture a community among researchers in southern California that work at the boundaries of industrial and systems engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and economics. The workshop will include invited presentations from faculty distributed across USC, UCLA, Caltech, UCSD, UCSB, Chapman, and Yahoo, along with
2 keynote speakers from outside of southern CA.Additionally, the workshop will include a student poster session to promote interaction among the groups from the schools.The list of confirmed speakers includes (so far):K. Mani Chandy (Caltech), Jernej Copic (UCLA), Matthew Jackson (Stanford), David Kempe (USC), Dmitri Krioukov (CAIDA, UCSD), Hua Liu (USC), Jason Marden (Caltech), Steve Rassenti (Chapman University), Mihaela van der Schaar (UCLA), Subhash Suri (UCSB), Milinde Tambe (USC), Jean Walrand (UC Berkeley), Simon Wilkie (USC), Leeat Yariv (Caltech), Heather Zheng (UCSB)The organizing committee asks that attendees register as early as possible at http://medianetlab.ee.ucla.edu/SocalNEGT since attendance will be limited to approximately 50 people.If you'd like to present a poster, just indicate so when you register.Location: USC Kerckhoff Hall

Peridynamics for multiscale materials modeling
Thu, Oct 01, 2009 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Richard B. Lehoucq, Sandia National Labs, Albuquerque, NM Abstract:
My presentation provides an overview of peridynamics, a continuum theory that employs a nonlocal model of force interaction. Specifically, the internal force density is given by an integral operator that sums forces separated by a finite distance. This integral operator is not a function of the deformation gradient, allowing for a more general notion of deformation than in classical elasticity that is well aligned with the kinematic assumptions of molecular dynamics. I also demonstrate that the peridynamic internal force density represents the statisical coarse-graining of molecular force as an ensemble average in phase space. This provides a statistical mechanical basis for peridynamics. Peridynamics effectiveness has been demonstrated in several applications, including fracture and failure of composites, nanofiber networks, and polycrystal fracture. These suggest that peridynamics is a viable multiscale material model for length scales ranging from molecular dynamics to those of classical elasticity.
