内容简介：

The advent of the digital computer and the parallel development of the FEM and the BEM have paved the way to challenging industrial applications of nonlinear mechanics. Computational (nonlinear) mechanics has become a scientific spearhead of technological progress. Computational mechanics is firmly embedded in the computational sciences, including computational mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc. This is the consequence of the increasing awareness of the importance of a holistic approach in the engineering sciences. The trend to consider information from small scales for determination of material properties of heterogeneous materials has stimulated multiscale analysis, which would have been impossible without nonlinear computational mechanics.
Having been involved in the development of computational mechanics for more than 50 years, the lecture has an autobiographical touch related to its topic. It contains results from basic and applied research with a focus on civil engineering.

Professor Mang is a Central European pioneer of Computational Mechanics. He has published more than 500 papers in scientific journals and conference proceedings, 23 books (7 co-authored, 16 co-edited), 5 chapters of handbooks and 4 special issues (co-edited). He has delivered 475 lectures, comprising more than 350 “invited lectures”, including numerous “plenary lectures” and “keynote lectures”. He is an elected member of 20 Academies of Sciences/Engineering, among them the Austrian Academy of Sciences, CAE, NAE, the German Academy of Technical Sciences (acatech), the Engineering Academy of the Czech Republic, the Polish Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Georgian National Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon (Portuguese National Academy of Sciences), and the Academia Europaea, London. Mang received six honorary doctorates from renowned universities of Austria, The Czech Republic, Poland, the Ukraine, and Lithuania. He is the recipient of 12 significant International/Foreign Prizes (including two Visible Distinctions and the naming of a Small Planet as “Mang”) and 12 significant National Prizes (including three Young Investigator Awards and four Visible Distinctions). He received a Fulbright Fellowship and a Max-Kade Fellowship for graduate studies at Texas Tech and postgraduate research work at Cornell University, respectively. Mang is an elected Fellow of ASCE, IABSE, and IACM and an Honorary Member of the Polish Association for Computational Mechanics, the Croatian Society of Mechanics, and the Czech Society for Mechanics. He was President of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Vice President of the National (Austrian) Research Council. He served as President of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) and as Vice President of the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM). Since 2012 he holds the position of National RPGE Chair Professor of Tongji University, Shanghai. Since 1994 Mang is the Regional Editor for Europe of Engineering Structures. Moreover, he is a member of the Editorial Board of more than 50 scientific journals. His contacts with China date back to 1981, when he was a United Nations Fields Export, working for a period three months at the Zhengzhou Research Institute for Mechanical Engineering.
