1. On failure modelling in finite element analysis : material imperfections and element erosion
Abstract : This dissertation concerns failure modelling with material imperfections and element erosion in finite element analyses. The aim has been to improve the element erosion technique, which is simple to use and implement and also computationally inexpensive. READ MORE

2. Alternatives for Finite Element Analysis of Blade Forging
Abstract : This thesis is a theoretical and numerical study of the weaknesses and capabilities of alternative finite element procedures for simulation of the blade forging problem and also an analysis of the practical aspects of that process. An overview is presented of the finite element method for non-linear problems with elastoplastic constitutive relations, focusing on quasistatic implicit and dynamic explicit approaches. READ MORE

4. Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of Plates and Shells by Use of Morley Finite Elements
Abstract : The thesis deals with plate bending analysis and shell analysis in static linear and dynamic non-linear situations. The thesis contains two parts. In common for them is the use of the Germain-Kirchhoff plate theory, constant strain, constant curvature triangular plate elements and adaptive improvement of original solution. READ MORE

5. Finite element modelling of hydroelasticity in hull-water impacts
Abstract : The work in this thesis focuses on the use of explicit finite element analysis (FEA) in the modelling of fluid-structure interaction of panel-water impacts. Paper A, considers modelling of a two-dimensional rigid wedge impacting a calm water surface. READ MORE
