Numerical Simulation of Timoshenko-Beam Models for Fiber-Based Materials

Explore numerical simulations of fiber-based materials using Timoshenko beam models in this 43-minute lecture by Axel Målqvist from the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics. Delve into the modeling of spatial networks of connected one-dimensional beams to simulate elastic properties of materials like paperboard. Learn about the challenges of ill-conditioned systems of equations and discover an innovative subspace decomposition technique that provides an efficient and reliable preconditioner for solving linear systems. Understand how this approach can be applied to simulate the mechanical behavior of paperboard, including its tensile and bending strength. Gain insights into collaborative research efforts between academic institutions and industry partners like the Fraunhofer Chalmers Centre.
