1. High order summation-by-parts methods in time and space
Abstract : This thesis develops the methodology for solving initial boundary value problems with the use of summation-by-parts discretizations. The combination of high orders of accuracy and a systematic approach to construct provably stable boundary and interface procedures makes this methodology especially suitable for scientific computations with high demands on efficiency and robustness.

2. Runge-Kutta Solution of Initial Value Problems: Methods, Algorithms and Implementation
Abstract : The last decades have seen a strongly increasing use of computers for modeling larger and more complex systems. This has been made possible by a combination of increasing computer power and easy-to-use graphical modeling environments and libraries of components. READ MORE

3. An Integration-Reduction Scheme for Simulation of Large Systems with Local Nonlinearity and Uncertainty - Application to moving load problems in railway mechanics
Abstract : The focus of this research is mainly on computational efficiency, as future work is planned for reliability analysis that will be combined with design optimisation. Both these fields are known to be notoriously computationally demanding. READ MORE

4. Computational Homogenization of Transient Problems - Application to Porous Media
Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the development and analysis of a homogenization-basedcomputational strategy for simulating the transient and nonlinear coupled consolidationproblem in micro-heterogeneous porous media. A variational framework and the pertinentfinite element (FE) strategy, based on a generalized macro-homogeneity condition,are proposed for the spatial homogenization of a class of transient problems, wherebythe classical assumption of first order homogenization is adopted.

5. Control Design and Performance Analysis of force Reflective Teleoperators - A Passivity Based Approach
Abstract : In this thesis, the problem of controlling a surgical masterand slave system with force reflection is studied. The problemof stiff contacts between the slave and the environment isgiven specific attention. The work has been carried out at KTHbased on an initial cooperation with Karolinska Sjukhuset. READ MORE
