Recent years have witnessed growing interest and expanding applications of fractional calculus in real world problems. This minisymposium aims to create synergies among researchers from mechanics, mathematics, materials/environmental sciences, and scientific computing. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to:
Modeling with fractional differential equations/fractional calculus, e.g., for materials and transport processes
Fractional differential equations for model reduction with experimental or computational data
Algorithms and numerical studies of fractional differential equations
Mathematical analyses of fractional systems
Stochastic fractional dynamic systems and statistical analysis
Fractional control of linear, nonlinear and distributed-parameter systems
Experimental studies and applications

Keywords: environment, computational mechanics
