Computational mathematics for structural engineering with some arctic twist

Abstract: Technical requirements for structural design are based on economic, environmental, and social pillars. Assessment of the various kind of criteria requires mathematical models and computational tools suitable for conceptual design at the early design stage as well as for high-fidelity simulation at the component level. Performance of lightweight thin-walled structures is known to be very sensitive to uncertainties in geometry, material properties, support conditions and external loading. Therefore, reliable mathematical models and numerical methods are of utmost importance in their modeling.

This talk shall address some open problems related to the stability analysis of curved shell structures and structural reliability of lightweight structures in general. The ideas are based on variational principles of mechanics and applied probability theory.
