It is shown that direct addressing of sparse matrices is possible in general circumstances, circumventing the traditional linear or binary search for introducing (generalized) constituents to a sparse matrix. Nested and arbitrarily interconnected multiple-point constraints are introduced by processing of multiplicative constituents with a built-in topological ordering of the resulting directed graph. A classification of discretization methods is performed and some re-classified problems are described and solved under this proposed perspective. The dependence relations between solution methods, algorithms and constituents becomes apparent. Fracture algorithms can be naturally casted in this framework. Solutions based on control equations are also directly incorporated as equality constraints. We show that arbitrary constituents can be used as long as the resulting directed graph is acyclic. It is also shown that graph partitions and orderings should be performed in the innermost part of the algorithm, a fact with some peculiar consequences. The core of our implicit code is described, specifically new algorithms for direct access of sparse matrices (by means of the clique structure) and general constituent processing. It is demonstrated that the graph structure of the second derivatives of the equality constraints are cliques (or pseudo-elements) and are naturally included as such. A complete algorithm is presented which allows a complete automation of equality constraints, avoiding the need of pre-sorting. Verification applications in four distinct areas are shown: single and multiple rigid body dynamics, solution control and computational fracture.}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{AreiasRabczukQueirosdeMeloetal., author = {Areias, Pedro and Rabczuk, Timon and Queiros de Melo, F.

Consequently, the correct pairing of experimentally obtained and numerically derived natural frequencies and mode shapes is important. In many cases, only limited spatial information is available and noise is present in the measurements. Therefore, the automatic selection of the most likely numerical mode shape corresponding to a particular experimentally identified mode shape can be a difficult task. The most common criterion for indicating corresponding mode shapes is the modal assurance criterion. Unfortunately, this criterion fails in certain cases and is not reliable for automatic approaches. In this paper, the purely mathematical modal assurance criterion will be enhanced by additional physical information from the numerical model in terms of modal strain energies. A numerical example and a benchmark study with experimental data are presented to show the advantages of the proposed energy-based criterion in comparison to the traditional modal assurance criterion.}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BrehmZabelBucher, author = {Brehm, Maik and Zabel, Volkmar and Bucher, Christian}, title = {Optimal reference sensor positions for applications in model updating using output-only vibration test data based on random excitation: Part 2 - improved search strategy and experimental case study}, series = {Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing}, journal = {Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing}, abstract = {Optimal reference sensor positions for applications in model updating using output-only vibration test data based on random excitation: Part 2 - improved search strategy and experimental case study}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BruhinStockDrueckeretal., author = {Bruhin, R. and Stock, U.A. and Dr{\"u}cker, J.-P. and Azhari, T. and Wippermann, J. and Albes, J.M. and Hintze, D. and Eckardt, Stefan and K{\"o}nke, Carsten and Wahlers, T.}, title = {Numerical simulation techniques to study the structural response of the human chest following median sternotomy}, series = {The Annals of Thoracic Surgery}, journal = {The Annals of Thoracic Surgery}, pages = {623 -- 630}, abstract = {Numerical simulation techniques to study the structural response of the human chest following median sternotomy}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BucherEbert, author = {Bucher, Christian and Ebert, Matthias}, title = {Nichtlineare Berechnung von Stahlflanschverbindungen mit gemessenen Imperfektionen}, series = {Stahlbau}, journal = {Stahlbau}, pages = {516 -- 522}, abstract = {Nichtlineare Berechnung von Stahlflanschverbindungen mit gemessenen Imperfektionen}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {de} } @article{BucherFrangopol, author = {Bucher, Christian and Frangopol, D.M.}, title = {Optimization of lifetime maintenance strategies for deteriorting structures considering probabilities of violating safety, condition, and cost thresholds}, series = {Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics}, journal = {Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics}, pages = {1 -- 8}, abstract = {Optimization of lifetime maintenance strategies for deteriorting structures considering probabilities of violating safety, condition, and cost thresholds}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BucherMost, author = {Bucher, Christian and Most, Thomas}, title = {A comparison of approximate response functions in structural reliability analysis}, series = {Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics}, journal = {Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics}, pages = {154 -- 163}, abstract = {A comparison of approximate response functions in structural reliability analysis}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BucherPham, author = {Bucher, Christian and Pham, Hoang Anh}, title = {On model updating of existing structures utilizing measured dynamic responses}, series = {Structure and Infrastructure Engineering}, journal = {Structure and Infrastructure Engineering}, pages = {135 -- 143}, abstract = {On model updating of existing structures utilizing measured dynamic responses}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BudarapuGracieBordasetal., author = {Budarapu, Pattabhi Ramaiah and Gracie, Robert and Bordas, St{\´e}phane Pierre Alain and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {An adaptive multiscale method for quasi-static crack growth}, series = {Computational Mechanics}, journal = {Computational Mechanics}, doi = {10.1007/s00466-013-0952-6}, pages = {1129 -- 1148}, abstract = {This paper proposes an adaptive atomistic- continuum numerical method for quasi-static crack growth. The phantom node method is used to model the crack in the continuum region and a molecular statics model is used near the crack tip. To ensure self-consistency in the bulk, a virtual atom cluster is used to model the material of the coarse scale. The coupling between the coarse scale and fine scale is realized through ghost atoms. The ghost atom positions are interpolated from the coarse scale solution and enforced as boundary conditions on the fine scale. The fine scale region is adaptively enlarged as the crack propagates and the region behind the crack tip is adaptively coarsened. An energy criterion is used to detect the crack tip location. The triangular lattice in the fine scale region corresponds to the lattice structure of the (111) plane of an FCC crystal. The Lennard-Jones potential is used to model the atom-atom interactions. The method is implemented in two dimensions. The results are compared to pure atomistic simulations; they show excellent agreement.}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BudarapuGracieYangetal., author = {Budarapu, Pattabhi Ramaiah and Gracie, Robert and Yang, Shih-Wei and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Efficient Coarse Graining in Multiscale Modeling of Fracture}, series = {Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics}, journal = {Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics}, pages = {126 -- 143}, abstract = {Efficient Coarse Graining in Multiscale Modeling of Fracture}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BudarapuNarayanaRammohanetal., author = {Budarapu, Pattabhi Ramaiah and Narayana, T.S.S. and Rammohan, B. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Directionality of sound radiation from rectangular panels}, series = {Applied Acoustics}, journal = {Applied Acoustics}, pages = {128 -- 140}, abstract = {Directionality of sound radiation from rectangular panels}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{ChauDinhZiLeeetal., author = {Chau-Dinh, T. and Zi, Goangseup and Lee, P.S. and Song, Jeong-Hoon and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Phantom-node method for shell models with arbitrary cracks}, series = {Computers \& Structures}, journal = {Computers \& Structures}, doi = {10.1016/j.compstruc.2011.10.021}, abstract = {A phantom-node method is developed for three-node shell elements to describe cracks.
