  4. 2. The Finite Element Method for Fractional Order Viscoelasticity and the Stochastic Wave Equation

    Author : Fardin Saedpanah; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; finite element method; continuous Galerkin method; linear viscoelasticity; fractional calculus; fractional order viscoelasticity; weakly singular kernel; stability; a priori error estimate; a posteriori error estimate; stochastic wave equation; additive noise; Wiener process; strong convergence.; linear viscoelasticity;

    Abstract : This thesis can be considered as two parts. In the first part a hyperbolic type integro-differential equation with weakly singular kernel is considered, which is a model for dynamic fractional order viscoelasticity. In the second part, the finite element approximation of the linear stochastic wave equation is studied. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nanomechanical Phenomena in Low-Dimensional Structures

    Author : Anton Vikström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; superconductivity; acoustic sensors; heat flow; NEMS; surface acoustic waves; solitons; viscoelasticity; electronic edge states;

    Abstract : This is a compilation thesis which investigates various mechanical phenomena in different low-dimensional nanoscale systems. In the first part, we consider a purely mechanical phenomenon: the sensitivity of the dispersion of a Love-type surface acoustic wave (SAW) to geometry and material parameters. READ MORE
