  2. 1. Goal-Oriented Adaptive Finite Element Analysis in Computational Material Mechanics

    Author : Fredrik Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; visco-plasticity; a posteriori error estimation; thermo-elasticity; mesh refinement; adaptivity; FEM; elasticity;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with error control in computational material mechanics. A posteriori error estimation and adaptivity for finite element discretizations is investigated. Based on the technique of solving a dual problem, it is possible to control the accuracy of arbitrary quantities. READ MORE

  5. 3. Simulation of track settlement in railway turnouts-An iterative approach

    Author : Xin Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; track settlement; Railway switch and crossing; cyclic loading; visco-plasticity; vehicle‒track interaction; 3D finite element analysis; granular material; ballast;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a methodology for simulation of track settlement in railway turnouts (switches andcrossings, S&C) is presented. The methodology predicts the accumulated settlement for a given setof traffic loads using an iterative and cross-disciplinary procedure. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nonlinear micromechanics of open-cell cellular solids

    Author : Per Hård af Segerstad; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; FEM; Finite strains; Foams; Micropolar theory; Constitutive modelling;

    Abstract : An approach for modelling the response of open-cell cellular solids at finite strainsis developed. The model framework comprises a mechanistic formulation wherethe cellular solid is considered as a network of struts, each connecting two vertexpoints. READ MORE
