Approximation and optimization of curved mechanical structures

Collaborator: J. Sprekels, D. Tiba, R. Vodák

Cooperation with: V. Arnautu (``Alexandru Ioan Cuza'' University, Iasi, Romania)

Supported by: DFG Research Center MATHEON, project C8

Description:

The work for this research project has been continued in several directions. The paper [1] concerning the optimization of rods and shells has been accepted after revision. In [2], a new reduction approximation technique has been developed to overcome the well-known ``locking phenomenon'' in the numerical approximation of thin curved rods. In this context, we also refer to [4].

A new type of asymptotic analysis for merely Lipschitzian curved rods has been developed in the papers [5], [6], [7].

A considerable part of the results established in this field by J. Sprekels and D. Tiba within the past years will be contained in the monograph [3].
