DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr Xiaodan Ren\, Department of Structural Engineering\, 
 Tongji University\, Shanghai\, China\nAbstract :\nIn recent years\, comput
 ational methods are well suited for modeling materials and structures unde
 rgoing fracture and damage. However\, researchers usually pay too much att
 ention to the mathematical problems instead of the engineering problems du
 ring the development of the computational methods. This presentation discu
 sses the concept of engineering oriented computational methods. Starting f
 rom the proposed concept of engineering oriented computational methods\, s
 ystematic analytical models and numerical schemes are developed for the su
 btle numerical simulation of reinforced concrete structures. Numbers of ca
 ses for the RC structure subjected to extreme loadings and events are show
 n and discussed. The proposed methods are also extended to the simulation 
 of bio-mechanical problems\, such as indentation of trabecular bones.\n \
 nShort Biography :\nXiaodan Ren received his Ph.D. from Tongji University 
 in 2011. He is currently an associate professor of structural engineering 
 at School of Civil Engineering\, Tongji University. Dr. Ren has co-authore
 d more than 50 academic papers\, while 22 of them have been published on t
 he decent international academic journals. He is also PI of two research p
 rojects granted by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. He ha
 s won two Second Prizes for Science &Technology Achievement awarded by the
  Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China and the Governm
 ent of Shanghai\, respectively. The damage model developed by him has been
  adopted by the design code of concrete structures in China and has been a
 pplied to the design and analysis of more than 50 high rise buildings. He 
 has supervised 2 PhD Thesis and 5 Master Thesis.
