  2. 1. Waveguide Finite Elements Applied on a Car Tyre

    Author : Carl-Magnus Nilsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave equation; wave solution; waveguide; finite element; spectral finite element; tyre noise; tyre vibration; input power; shells; pre stress; fluid shell coupling; axi--symmetric;

    Abstract : Structures acting as waveguides are quite common withexamples being, construction beams, fluid filled pipes, railsand extruded aluminium profiles. Curved structures like cartyres and pipe-bends may also be considered as waveguides. Wavesolutions in such structures may be found by a method calledthe Waveguide Finite Element Method or WFEM.

  4. 2. Efficient Solvers for Space-Time Discontinuous Galerkin Spectral Element Methods

    Author : Lea Miko Versbach; Numerisk analys; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Discontinuous Galerkin Method; Spectral Element Method; Finite Volume Method; Implicit Schemes; Preconditioner; Multigrid Method; Space-Time; Lobatto IIIC Method; Local Fourier Analysis;

    Abstract : In this thesis we study efficient solvers for space-time discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods (DG-SEM). These discretizations result in fully implicit schemes of variable order in both spatial and temporal directions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Prediction of random vibration using spectral methods

    Author : Fredrik Birgersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Spectral finite element method; distributed excitation; turbulent boundary layer measurements; random vibration; spectral super element method; wave expansion difference scheme; fluid-structure interaction;

    Abstract : Much of the vibration in fast moving vehicles is caused bydistributed random excitation, such as turbulent flow and roadroughness. Piping systems transporting fast flowing fluid isanother example, where distributed random excitation will causeunwanted vibration. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multigrid Preconditioners for the Discontinuous Galerkin Spectral Element Method : Construction and Analysis

    Author : Lea Miko Versbach; Numerisk analys; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Discontinuous Galerkin Method; Finite Volume Method; Implicit Schemes; Local Fourier Analysis; Multigrid Method; Preconditioner; Space-Time Discretization; Spectral Element Method;

    Abstract : Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods offer a great potential for simulations of turbulent and wall bounded flows with complex geometries since these high-order schemes offer a great potential in handling eddies. Recently, space-time DG methods have become more popular. READ MORE

  7. 5. Transport theory and finite element methods for mesoscopic superconducting devices

    Author : Kevin Marc Seja; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; non-equilibrium superconductivity; finite element methods; unconventional superconductors; quasiclassical theory; transport theory;

    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
