In this work, we propose both a theoretical framework and a numerical method to tackle shape op- timization problems related with uid dynamics applications in presence of uid-structure interactions. We present a general framework relying on the solution of ...
We introduce a new convex formulation for stable principal component pursuit (SPCP) to decompose noisy signals into low-rank and sparse representations. For numerical solutions of our SPCP formulation, we first develop a convex variational framework and th ...
In 1879, then 23-year-old Maurice Koechlin became the lead structural engineer of Gustave Eiffel’s construction company founded 13 years before. Together, they pushed the boundaries of steel and iron structural design. They were responsible for the design ...
Mathematical models involving partial differential equations (PDE) arise in numerous applications ranging from Natural Sciences and Engineering to Economics. Random and stochastic PDE models become very powerful (and sometimes unavoidable) extensions of de ...
We consider a single-period dual-sourcing problem in which a buyer purchases its products from two different suppliers and sells them to a market with uncertain demand. One supplier is cheaper but less responsive, whereas the other supplier is more respons ...
We report on a new topological vortex solution in U(1) x U(1) Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. The existence of the vortex is envisaged by analytical means, and a numerical solution is obtained by integrating the equations of motion. These vortices have a long ...
A fully discrete a priori analysis of the finite element heterogenenous multiscale method (FE-HMM) introduced in [A. Abdulle, M. Grote, C. Stohrer, MultiscaleModel. Simul. 2014] for the wave equation with highly oscillatory coefficients over long time is p ...
We study the effect of a dimplelike geometric imperfection on the critical buckling load of spherical elastic shells under pressure loading. This investigation combines precision experiments, finite element modeling, and numerical solutions of a reduced sh ...
This paper focuses on multiple tab-and-slot joints (MTSJ) for load-carrying assembly of structural wood elements, which are inspired by traditional cabinetmaking joints and adapted for automatic fabrication and engineered wood panels such as laminated vene ...
The present work deals with the large-scale application of the friction welding bonding technology on timber. The investigations that are described in the following were carried out on a prototype of a welding machine that was previously developed for the ...
