11. Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Optimal Control Problems
Abstract : In this thesis we study the numerical solution of optimal control problems. The problems considered consist of a systemof differential equations, the state equations, which are governed bya control variable. The goal is to determine the states and controls which minimize a given cost functional. READ MORE

12. Analysis of Adaptive Finite Element Methods
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the analysis and design of adaptive finite element methods for a variety of differential equations in mechanics and physics, including linear and semilinear elliptic equations, eigenvalue problems, the stationary Navier-Stokes equations, and Hamiltonian systems. The analysis focuses on sharp a posteriori error estimates, sharp a priori error estimates, stability properties, and the design of adaptive algorithms. READ MORE

13. High Performance Adaptive Finite Element Methods : With Applications in Aerodynamics
Abstract : The massive computational cost for resolving all scales in a turbulent flow makes a direct numerical simulation of the underlying Navier-Stokes equations impossible in most engineering applications. Recent advances in adaptive finite element methods offer a new powerful tool in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). READ MORE

14. Simulation of contact, friction and wear in gears : a finite element approach
Abstract : In this thesis, resent methods in computational contact mechanics is brought into the process of gear design. The finite element method is used to model two elastic bodies in contact. By defining a contact interface between these two bodies, constitutive laws, regarding normal contact, friction and wear, are included. READ MORE

15. Transport theory and finite element methods for mesoscopic superconducting devices
Abstract : At low temperatures, electrons in a superconductor exhibit pairing correlations that result in a macroscopic, phase-coherent ground state. This leads to peculiar electromagnetic properties such as the flow of dissipationless charge currents and expelling of external magnetic fields. READ MORE
