2. 1. Modelling Alternative Load Paths in Platform-Framed CLT Buildings : A Finite Element Approach

   Author : Johannes Albert Josef Huber; Mats Ekevad; Ulf Arne Girhammar; Sven Berg; Sigurdur Ormarsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; timber; robustness; finite element method; alternative load paths; disproportionate collapse; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

   Abstract : Timber has become more popular as a construction material during recent years. Engineered wood products, such as glued laminated timber and cross-laminated timber, have enabled the construction of multi-storey buildings. Tall buildings with many occupants need to resist a disproportional collapse in case of unexpected exposures, e.g. READ MORE

4. 2. Finite Element Modelling of Fluid-Structure Interaction

   Author : Göran Sandberg; Byggnadsmekanik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element Method; Coupled problem; fluid-structure interaction; Transient; Acoustics; Caviation; Time Stepping; Symmetric; Nonlinear acoustics; Submerged structures; finite element method; Coupled problem; Fluid-structure interaction; Transient; Acoustics; Cavitation; Time Stepping; Symmetric; Nonlinear acoustics; Submerged structures;

   Abstract : The dynamic interaction between non-viscid, compressible fluid and an elastic structure is studied. Finte element formulations, using the weighted residual method, are derived. Different primary variables in the fluid domain are used and different source functions are considered. READ MORE

5. 3. Adaptive Finite Element Procedures in Structural Dynamics

   Author : Xiangdong Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element; h-adaptivity; Newmark method; structural dynamics; space-time; a posteriori; superconvergent patch recovery; postprocessing; automatic time-stepping; semidiscretization; error estimation; discontinuous Galerkin;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with a posteriori error estimation and adaptivity in finite element procedures for the analysis of structural dynamic problems. First, error estimation and adaptivity for the Newmark time integration method are studied. READ MORE

6. 4. Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Optimal Control Problems

   Author : Karin Kraft; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; finite element method; discontinuous Galerkin method; optimal control; a posteriori error estimate; dual weighted residual; adaptive; multilevel algorithm; Newton method; control constraint; variational inequality; vehicle dynamics.;

   Abstract : In this thesis we study the numerical solution of optimal control problems. The problems considered consist of a system of differential equations, the state equations, which are governed by a control variable. The goal is to determine the states and controls which minimize a given cost functional. READ MORE
