6. Modelling Alternative Load Paths in Platform-Framed CLT Buildings : A Finite Element Approach
Sammanfattning : Timber has become more popular as a construction material during recent years. Engineered wood products, such as glued laminated timber and cross-laminated timber, have enabled the construction of multi-storey buildings. Tall buildings with many occupants need to resist a disproportional collapse in case of unexpected exposures, e.g. LÄS MER
7. Finite element methods for surface problems
Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to further develop numerical methods for solving surface problems by utilizing tangential calculus and the trace finite element method. Direct computation on the surface is possible by the use of tangential calculus, in contrast to the classical approach of mapping 2D parametric surfaces to 3D surfaces by means of differential geometry operators.

8. Finite element methods on surfaces
Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to improve numerical simulations of surface problems. Two novel computational concepts are analyzed and applied on two surface problems; minimal surface problems and elastic membrane problems. LÄS MER
9. Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Reactive Flow Problems
Sammanfattning : We present and analyze adaptive finite element methods with reliable and efficient error control for a variety of convection-diffusion-reaction problems. The adaptive methods are based on a posteriori error estimates, where the error is estimated in terms of the residual of the computed solution, the mesh size and multiplicative factors measuring certain stability properties of an associated linearized dual problem.

10. Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Optimal Control Problems
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we study the numerical solution of optimal control problems. The problems considered consist of a system of differential equations, the state equations, which are governed by a control variable. The goal is to determine the states and controls which minimize a given cost functional. LÄS MER
