Series on Advances in Mathematics for Applied Sciences
Aims and Scope
This Series reports on new developments in mathematical research relating to methods, qualitative and
numerical analysis, mathematical modeling in the applied and the technological sciences. Contributions re-
lated to constitutive theories, fluid dynamics, kinetic and transport theories, solid mechanics, system theory
and mathematical methods for the applications are welcomed.
This Series includes books, lecture notes, proceedings, collections of research papers. Monograph col-
lections on specialized topics of current interest are particularly encouraged. Both the proceedings and
monograph collections will generally be edited by a Guest editor.
High quality, novelty of the content and potential for the applications to modern problems in applied
science will be the guidelines for the selection of the content of this series.
Instructions for Authors
Submission of proposals should be addressed to the editors-in-charge or to any member of the editorial
board. In the latter, the authors should also notify the proposal to one of the editors-in-charge. Acceptance
of books and lecture notes will generally be based on the description of the general content and scope of the
book or lecture notes as well as on sample of the parts judged to be more significantly by the authors.
Acceptance of proceedings will be based on relevance of the topics and of the lecturers contributing to
the volume.
Acceptance of monograph collections will be based on relevance of the subject and of the authors
contributing to the volume.
Authors are urged, in order to avoid re-typing, not to begin the final preparation of the text until they
received the publisher’s guidelines. They will receive from World Scientific the instructions for preparing
camera-ready manuscript.

PREFACE
In recent years, research activities in Italy concerning applied and in-
dustrial mathematics have been conducted by many scientists with di(cid:11)er-
ent experience, from university, research institutions and industry. They
addressed a number of speci(cid:12)c subjects. Besides classical topics | such
as (cid:13)uid dynamics, elasticity, continuous mechanics | new problems have
beenconsidered,withapplicationtoavarietyofsituationsandphenomena
such as, for example, tra(cid:14)c modelling, hemodynamics, bio(cid:12)lms; moreover,
a number of research projects of interest for the industry have also been
developed.
The state-of-the-art of research in applied and industrial mathematics
inItalycanbeassessedfromthelargenumberofcontributionspresentedat
the IX Congressof Italian Society for Applied and Industrial Mathematics
(SIMAI), held in Rome in September 2008. In this volume 50 papers are
proposed, which were selected among all those presented at the Congress.
In order to properly select these papers from a large number of sub-
mitted contributions, the Editors of this volume were supported by the
expertise of all members of SIMAI Scienti(cid:12)c Committee: Ubaldo Barberis,
NicolaBellomo,LucaFormaggia,GiorgioFotia,AlessandroIafrati,Roberto
Natalini, Mario Primicerio, Luigia Puccio and Alessandro Speranza. We
would like to thank all of them, as well as all the referees involved in the
selection procedure.
