  2. 1. Class of Accurate Low Order Finite Elements

    Author : Magnus Fredriksson; Hållfasthetslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; quadrilateral ; variational ; finite element ; element technology ; HuWashizu ; hexahedral ; Technological sciences; Teknik;

    Abstract : High accuracy and low computational costs are essential properties for efficient finite element codes. Improvements of the finite element method in order to satisfy these qualities have been the subject for extensive research activities ever since its introduction. READ MORE

  4. 2. Finite Volume Methods on Quadrilateral and Moving Meshes

    Author : Fredrik Svensson; Matematik LTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; systems; control; numerical analysis; finite volume method; Datalogi; Computer science; moving mesh method; higher order reconstruction; hyperbolic conservation law;

    Abstract : The topic of this thesis is the study of finite volume methods for hyperbolic conservation laws on non-uniform meshes. A high-order hyperbolic reconstruction method is presented. The method is constructed for quadrilateral meshes, since more realistic hyperbolic problems involve more complicated problem domains than the standard rectangular ones. READ MORE

  5. 3. Traces of Mathematical Facts and Students’ Understanding of the Concept `Quadrilateral´ : An enquiry into young students’ communication

    Author : Eva Juhlin; Maria Johansson; Ewa Bergqvist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematics Education; Matematik och lärande;

    Abstract : Mathematics could be described as a special kind of language, a discourse in which participants communicate abstract concepts. Communication and language are known to be important factors in teaching and learning but little is known about neither communication between students in relation to geometrical concepts, nor what traces of mathematical facts and understanding is incorporated into their communication.

  6. 4. High performance hybrid mixed elements using orthogonal stress interpolants and scaling of the higher order stiffness

    Author : Anders Sundin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : During the evolution of the finite element method, formulations based on the principle of minimum potential energy have dominated the scene. These formulations employ an assumed displacement field within each element which must preserve continuity of displacements between adjacent elements. READ MORE

  7. 5. Application of Differential Geometry to Elasticity and Corresponding Discrete Models

    Author : Nina Lautersztajn-S.; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mechanical systems; differential geometry; isoparametric four-node elements; Lie groups; non-linear elasticity; elasticity; finite element method;

    Abstract : The amazing development in technology and industry during the last half of the twentieth century has opened totally new research fields. One of them is computational mechanics. Suddenly very complex, three-dimensional nonlinear engineering problems could be solved as a consequence of explosive advances in computers and numerical schemes. READ MORE
