  1. 1. Branch Identification in Elastic Stability Analysis

    Författare :Anders Magnusson; Hållfasthetslära; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vacuum technology; hydraulics; Mechanical engineering; Produktionsteknik; Production technology; FEM; computer simulation; bifurcation; stability; vibration and acoustic engineering; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, methods to determine the static postbuckling behaviour of elastic structures undergoing large deformations, are considered and developed. Since the governing non-linear equations usually becomes too complex to be handled analytically, the main focus has been on developing methods that can be incorporated into a numerical solution scheme, such as the finite element method.

  3. 2. Mathematical modelling approach to collective decision-making

    Författare :Natalia Zabzina; Denis Gaidashev; Torbjörn Lundh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :collective behaviour; collective decision-making; communication mechanisms; positive feedback; mathematical modelling; bifurcation phenomena; steady state solutions; symmetry breaking; symmetry restoring; diffusion-limited aggregation; fractal dimension;

    Sammanfattning : In everyday situations individuals make decisions. For example, a tourist usually chooses a crowded or recommended restaurant to have dinner. Perhaps it is an individual decision, but the observed pattern of decision-making is a collective phenomenon. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Grey-box Identification of Distributed Parameter Systems

    Författare :Yi Liu; Elling W. Jacobsen; Denis Dochain; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; grey-box modeling; grey-box identification; model reduction; PDE; chromatography; bifurcation; moving mesh methods; orthogonal collocation on moving finite elements; OCMFE; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis considers the problem of making dynamic models for industrial processes by combining physical modelling with experimental data. The focus is on distributed parameter systems, that is, systems for which the model structure involves partial differential equations (PDE). Distributed parameter systems are important in many applications, e. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Ballistic Imaging of Transient Phenomena in Turbid Media

    Författare :David Sedarsky; Förbränningsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mie scattering; Laser Combustion Diagnostics; Imaging; Spray Diagnostics; Turbid Media; Velocity;

    Sammanfattning : Ballistic imaging (BI) was developed as an optical diagnostic capable of ascertaining velocity and spatial information within dense sprays with relevance to liquid-fuel injection and combustion. This development includes a full model of light scattering within the complete imaging system, enabling the performance of the instrument to be examined, optimized and quantified. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Co-rotational beam elements in instability problems

    Författare :Jean-Marc Battini; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :instability; co-rotational mehtod; branch-switching; beam element; warping; plastic buckling. post-bifurcation; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of the work presented in this thesis is to implement co-rotational beam elements and branch-switching procedures in order to analyse elastic and elastoplasticinstability problems. For the 2D beam elements, the co-rotational framework is taken from Crisfield [23]. LÄS MER
