Abstract Submission Abstracts not exceeding 250 words are to be submitted by 30 Nov 2013 via the online facility available on the conference website. Abstracts should explain clearly the main objectives/achievements, of the proposed contribution and be sufficiently informative. Authors will be provided with instructions for the preparation of the 4-page extended abstract following notification of acceptance of the abstract. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be available to participants during the conference.
Keynote Speakers Prof. Hywel Thomas is Pro ViceChancellor, Engagement and International, Professor of Civil Engineering, and Founder Director of the Geoenvironmental Research Centre (GRC) at Cardiff University. Prof. Thomas will give a lecture on Geoenergy Research Applications . Dr. Adrian Gaylard is Jaguar Land Rover's Aerodynamics Technical Specialist. He is the Chair of the Aerodynamics Activity at the SAE and a member of the European Car Aerodynamics Research Association. Adrian will speak on the application of unsteady
aerodynamic simulation in automotive engineering. Prof. Bassam Izzuddin is Head of the Computational Structural Mechanics (CSM) Group at Imperial College London. He will give a lecture on Partitioned Modelling
for Nonlinear Analysis of Large-Scale Structural Systems using High Performance Computing, presenting applications to realistic structures subject to extreme loading.

Conference Scope & Themes
Committees
School to be held at the University of Exeter. The chosen topics and lecturing ACME members are:
The Conference will emphasize on recent developments in the field of Computational Mechanics through a combination of keynote lectures and paper and poster sessions. Nonlinear computations, new discretization methods and Isogeometric analysis will be at the center of this conference, where researchers in Computational Mechanics will have a unique opportunity to get together and interact. Papers are solicited under specific subthemes including, but not limited to, the following:
ACME Advisory Committee
Prof. Sven Klinkel (University of Aachen): Isogeometric analysis of shells at finite deformations Dr Ido Akkerman (Durham University): 3D Isogeometric finite elements for fluid flow Dr Robert Simpson (University of Glasgow): Isogeometric boundary element methods: fundamental technology Prof. Philippe Young (Exeter): Image-based meshing
22nd ACME Conference; 3-4 April 2014 The purpose of this conference is to share state-of-the-art research findings and experience across the full range of Computational Mechanics. The conference organising committee is particularly keen to encourage the participation of young researchers, including PhD students and research assistants.

Conference Venue
GPU & HPC
The Conference will be held at the University of Exeter, situated on an attractive campus close to the city centre. Technical sessions will be held in the Harrison Building. Social events will be in the Forum, Reed Hall and Pennsylvania Court (where also the accommodation is offered), all within a five minute walk.
Instability Analysis
There is easy access to Exeter by rail to Exeter St. David’s station, by road via the M5 motorway, and by air via Exeter International Airport, which is only a 20 minute drive to the University by taxi or bus (bus service 56 (56A and 56B)).
