    • Slight compressibility and sensitivity to changes in Poisson's ratio 

      Destrade, Michel (2012)
      Finite element simulations of rubbers and biological soft tissue usually assume that the material being deformed is slightly compressible. It is shown here that, in shearing deformations, the corresponding normal stress ...

    • Sparse grid methods for singularly perturbed problems 

      Russell, Stephen (2016-05-09)
      This thesis is concerned with the design, analysis and implementation of sparse grid finite element methods applied to singularly perturbed partial differential equations, in two and three dimensions. Typically, sparse ...
