  2. 1. Branch Identification in Elastic Stability Analysis

    Author : Anders Magnusson; Hållfasthetslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vacuum technology; hydraulics; Mechanical engineering; Produktionsteknik; Production technology; FEM; computer simulation; bifurcation; stability; vibration and acoustic engineering; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, methods to determine the static postbuckling behaviour of elastic structures undergoing large deformations, are considered and developed. Since the governing non-linear equations usually becomes too complex to be handled analytically, the main focus has been on developing methods that can be incorporated into a numerical solution scheme, such as the finite element method.

  4. 2. On some Nonlinear Aspects of Wave Motion

    Author : Erik Wahlén; Partiella differentialekvationer; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water waves; bifurcation; global existence; rod equation; wabve breaking;

    Abstract : In the first part of this thesis we consider the governing equations for capillary water waves given by the Euler equations with a free surface under the influence of surface tension over a flat bottom. We look for two-dimensional steady periodic waves. The problem is first transformed to a nonlinear elliptic equation in a rectangle. READ MORE

  5. 3. Of Pipes and Bends

    Author : Jacopo Canton; Philipp Schlatter; Ramis Örlü; Dwight Barkley; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nonlinear instability; bifurcation; flow control; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : This work is concerned with the transition to turbulence of the flow in bent pipes, but it also includes an analysis of large-scale turbulent structures and their use for flow control.The flow in a toroidal pipe is selected as it represents the common asymptotic limit between spatially developing and helical pipes.

  6. 4. Inflation Mechanics of Hyperelastic Membranes

    Author : Amit Patil; Anders Eriksson; Arne Nordmark; Reijo Kouhia; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Membrane Mechanics; Inflation; Adhesive Contact; Instabilities; Bifurcation; Limit Point; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : The applications of inflatable membrane structures are increasing rapidly in the various fields of engineering and science. The geometric, material, force and contact non-linearities complicate this subject further, which in turn increases the demand for computationally efficient methods and interpretations of counter-intuitive behaviors noted by the  scientific community.

  7. 5. Numerical studies on flows with secondary motion

    Author : Jacopo Canton; Philipp Schlatter; David Moxey; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nonlinear dynamical systems; instability; bifurcation; flow control; skin-friction reduction; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : This work is concerned with the study of flow stability and turbulence control - two old but still open problems of fluid mechanics. The topics are distinct and are (currently) approached from different directions and with different strategies. READ MORE
