Soft adhesive pads attached to a rigid substrate show stick-slip behavior upon loading: they detach and reattach in a different location. This is accompanied by the lifting of the adhesive, the mechanical wave carrying this motion being known as a Schallam ...
Adaptive isogeometric methods for the solution of partial diifferential equations rely on the construction of locally refinable spline spaces. A simple and efficient way to obtain these spaces is to apply the multi-level construction of hierarchical spline ...
One of the main issues that has to be faced when evaluating lightning-induced overvoltages on a realistic network configuration is to implement the algorithm that solves the field-to-line coupling problem into an electromagnetic simulator that is able to r ...
This work focuses on the study of several computational challenges arising when trimmed surfaces are directly employed for the isogeometric analysis of Kirchhoff-Love shells. To cope with these issues and to resolve mechanical and/or geometrical features o ...
We present the development of a multiphase adjoint for the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model, a widely used chemical transport model. The adjoint model provides location- and time-specific gradients that can be used in various applications such ...
Finite volume methods are proposed for computing approximate pathwise entropy/kinetic solutions to conservation laws with flux functions driven by low-regularity paths. For a convex flux, it is demonstrated that driving path oscillations may lead to "cance ...
The homotopy continuation method has been widely used to compute multiple solutions of nonlinear differential equations, but the computational cost grows exponentially based on the traditional finite difference and finite element discretizations. In this w ...
It is known that the set of internally stabilizing controller Cstab is non-convex, but it admits convex characterizations using certain closed-loop maps: a classical result is the {Youla parameterization}, and two recent notions are t ...
A novel probabilistic numerical method for quantifying the uncertainty induced by the time integration of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is introduced. Departing from the classical strategy to randomize ODE solvers by adding a random forcing term, ...
Laser based additive manufacturing allows to build a designed shape layer-by-layer, offering versatility and flexibility to many metallurgical sectors. The fast cooling rates and repeated heat cycles depending on the laser and scanning parameters are not e ...
