Abstract: "Perturbation Methods 1 & 2" are introductory courses in the use of perturbation methods for the solution of simple fluid dynamics and structural mechanics problems. "Hydrodynamic stability" is a short introduction to hydrodynamic stability theory and covers the basic concepts regarding temporal stability of parallel shear flows. Deadlines: 15th January, 2020 (Perturbation Methods I, […]

Abstract A mechanical structure can be damaged suddenly, for instance by a collision or an explosion. It can be smoothly and progressively damaged by mechanical or chemical actions. We address the two problems considering a simple structure: a beam. 1. Smooth motion and damage. We derive the theory based on the principle of virtual power […]
