S5B4 Graduate Seminar on Modeling and Simulation with PDEs

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Martin Rumpf

Topic: Analysis and Numerical Methods for thin elastic structures

Description:

In this seminar we will study thin elastic structures. The seminar will cover rigorous analysis from a calculus of variations perspective in the context of plates and shells and will introduce the participants into the numerical approximation of the resulting PDEs based on subdivision finite elements and on discrete exterior calculus.

Further information can be found here.

Schedule:

The seminar will take place as a block seminar on Friday, 10th of January 2014, and Friday, 24th of January 2014, in the seminar room SR 2.040 EA 60.
