Abstract:
The vast majority of mollusks grow a hard shell for protection. Typical seashells are composed of two distinct layers, with an outer layer made of calcite (a hard but brittle material) and an inner layer made of a tough and ductile material called nacre. Nacre is a biocomposite material that consists of more than 95% of tablet-shape aragonite, CaCO3, and a soft organic material as matrix. Although the brittle ceramic aragonite composes a high volume fraction of nacre, its mechanical prop-erties are found to be surprisingly higher than those of its constituents. It has been su

Abstract:
Fluidization of a granular assembly of solid particles is a process where particles are suspended in a fluid by the upward flow of fluid through the bed. This process is important in industry as it has a wide range of applications due to the high mixing and mass transfer rates present as a result of the rapid movement of particles which occurs in the bed. The dynamics of fluidization is heavily dependent on the particle scale physics and the forces acting at a particle level. For particles with sizes and densities less than 100μm and 103 kg/m3, the importance of interparticle forces such as co

Bone resorption and bone-implant interface instability are two bottlenecks of current orthopaedic hip implant designs. Bone resorption is often triggered by mechanical bio-incompatibility of the implant with the surrounding bone. It has serious clinical consequences in both primary and revision surgery of hip replacements. After primary surgery, bone resorption can cause periprosthetic fractures, leading to implant loosening. For the revision surgery, the loss of bone stock compromises the ability of bone to adequately fix the implant. Interface instability, on the other hand, occurs as a resu

Simulation of flow through a heterogeneous porous medium with fine-scale features can be computationally expensive if the flow is fully resolved. Coarsening the problem gives a faster approximation of the flow but loses some detail. We propose an algorithm that obtains the fully resolved approximation but only iterates on a sequence of coarsened problems. The sequence is chosen by optimizing the shapes of the coarse finite element basis functions. As a stand-alone method, the algorithm converges globally and monotonically with a quadratic asymptotic rate. Computational experience indicates the

Abstract:
<p>This dissertation presents a novel distributed optimal control (DOC) problem formulation that is applicable to multiscale dynamical systems comprised of numerous interacting systems, or agents, that together give rise to coherent macroscopic behaviors, or coarse dynamics, that can be modeled by partial differential equations (PDEs) on larger spatial and time scales. The DOC methodology seeks to obtain optimal agent state and control trajectories by representing the system's performance as an integral cost function of the macroscopic state, which is optimized subject to the agents' dynamics

Abstract:
Scientific theories that explain how physical systems behave are described by mathematical models which provide the basis for computer simulations of events that occur in the physical universe. These models, being only mathematical characterizations of actual phenomena, are obviously subject to error because of the inherent limitations of all mathematical abstractions. In this work, new theory and methodologies are developed to quantify such modeling error in a special way that resolves a fundamental and standing issue: multiscale modeling, the development of models of events that transcend ma

Abstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Topology optimization allows designers to obtain lightweight structures considering the binary distribution of a solid material. The introduction of cellular material models in topology optimization allows designers to achieve significant weight reductions in structural applications. However, the traditional topology optimization method is challenged by the use of cellular materials. Furthermore, increased material savings and performance can be achieved if the material and the structure topologies are concurrently designed. Hence, m

Abstract:
Tese de doutoramento em Engenharia Química (Processos Químicos) apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Univ. de Coimbra<br>Processes going on in modern chemical processing plants are typically very complex, and this complexity is also present in collected data, which contain the cumulative effect of many underlying phenomena and disturbances, presenting different patterns in the time/frequency domain. Such characteristics motivate the development and application of data-driven multiscale approaches to process analysis, with the ability of selectively analyzing the information
