Efficiency-based hp-refinement for finite element methods
(University of Waterloo, 2007-08-23)Two efficiency-based grid refinement strategies are investigated for adaptive finite element solution of partial differential equations. In each refinement step, the elements are ordered in terms of decreasing local ... -
Optimal Sensor Location for the Estimation of a Linear Dispersive Wave Equation
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-07)The problem of optimal sensor location for the estimation of a linear dispersive wave equation is considered in this work. A steady-state Kalman filter was used as an optimal state observer with localized velocity information ... -
A Study of the Axial Crush Response of Hydroformed Aluminum Alloy Tubes
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-03)There exists considerable motivation to reduce vehicle weight through the adoption of lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloys, while maintaining energy absorption and component integrity under crash conditions. To ...
