2. 1. Ghosts and machines : regularized variational methods for interactive simulations of multibodies with dry frictional contacts

   Author : Claude Lacoursière; Bo Kåggström; Ander Klarbring; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Discrete mechanics; Variational method; Contact problems; Impacts; Least action principle; Saddle point problems; Lagrange Multipliers; Constrained systems; Multibody Systems; Numerical regularization; Constraint realization; Constraint stabilization; Dry friction; Differential Algebraic Equations; Nonsmooth problems; Linear Complementarity; Quaternion algebra; Numerical linear algebra; Physics modeling; Interactive simulation; Numerical stability; Rigid body dynamics; Dissipative systems; Computational physics; Beräkningsfysik;

   Abstract : A time-discrete formulation of the variational principle of mechanics is used to provide a consistent theoretical framework for the construction and analysis of low order integration methods. These are applied to mechanical systems subject to mixed constraints and dry frictional contacts and impacts---machines. READ MORE

   Abstract : The thesis presents models for short term planning (24 hours) of a hyro dominated hydrothermal power system. The purpose of the models is to minimizae the system operation costs to provide a forecasted load and keep enough spinning reserve... READ MORE

6. 4. Finite Element Procedures for the Numerical Simulation of CRack Propagation and Bilateral Contact

   Author : Per Heintz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns finite element methods for the numerical simulation of crack propagation including contact formulations for the contact between deformable bodies. The classical integral formulations for theenergy release rate at crack growth are considered and adaptive algorithms are developed. READ MORE

7. 5. Statistical energy analysis and variational principles for the prediction of sound transmission in multilayered structures
