An element-based formulation for ES-FEM and FS-FEM models for implementation in standard solid mechanics finite element codes for 2D and 3D static analysis

Edge-based and face-based smoothed finite element methods (ES-FEM and FS-FEM, respectively) are modified versions of the finite element method allowing to achieve more accurate results and to reduce sensitivity to mesh distortion, at least for linear eleme ...

Interactive Real-time Structural Modelling - Solids

The aim of this master project is to develop a fast computing method for the analysis of structures with non-linear geometric behavior. The Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method is employed instead of the better known Newton-Raphson iteration process based on Fin ...

Gold nanoparticles as a new tool in amyloid studies

Urszula Beata Cendrowska

The misfolding and self-assembly of proteins into fibrils is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative and systemic diseases. These disease-associated proteins have the propensity to form fibrils with a cross-Î² sheet structure, called amyloids. Amyloids can ...

Simplex solids in SU(N) Heisenberg models on the kagome and checkerboard lattices

Frédéric Mila, Karlo Penc

We present a numerical study of the SU(N) Heisenberg model with the fundamental representation at each site for the kagome lattice (for N = 3) and the checkerboard lattice (for N = 4), which are the line graphs of the honeycomb and square lattices and thus ...

Properties of Ir4 clusters in the gas phase and on oxide substrates

Vladan Stevanovic

Results of a theoretical study on the properties of Ir4 clusters in the gas–phase and on oxide surfaces are presented. The work is based on density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and ultrasoft pseudopotentials. ...

A 3D Granular Model Of Equiaxed-Granular Solidification

Michel Rappaz, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, André Phillion

The solidification of an aluminum-copper alloy has been simulated in 3D using a granular model. Compared to previous similar 2D approaches for where only one phase is continuous, the extension to 3D allows for concurrent continuity of the solid and liquid ...

Deformation in thin SiN membranes due to residual stresses

For the patterning on 'unconventional' surfaces and/or non-IC applications new micro- and nanopat- terning technologies are developed. One of these techniques is the localized material deposi- tion through ultra-miniature shadow masks (nanostencils). Nanos ...

On the constants in hp-finite element trace inverse inequalities

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

We derive inverse trace inequalities for hp-finite elements. Utilizing orthogonal polynomials, we show how to derive explicit expressions for the constants when considering triangular and tetrahedral elements. We also discuss how to generalize this techniq ...

Stable spectral methods on tetrahedral elements

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

A framework for the construction of stable spectral methods on arbitrary domains with unstructured grids is presented. Although most of the developments are of a general nature, an emphasis is placed on schemes for the solution of partial differential equa ...
