• Reiterated homogenization of nonlinear monotone operators in a general deterministic setting 

      Lukkassen, Dag; Nguetseng, Gabriel; Nnang, Hubert; Wall, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2009)
      We study reiterated homogenization of a nonlinear non-periodic elliptic differential operator in a general deterministic setting as opposed to the usual stochastic setting. Our approach proceeds from an appropriate notion of convergence termed reiterated Σ-convergence. A general deterministic homogenization theorem is proved and several concrete examples are studied under various structure hypotheses ...
    • Fluid-structure Interaction for Water Hammers Effects in Petroleum and Nuclear Plants 

      Messahel, Ramzi; Cohen, B; Souli, M; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-12-31)
      Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) becomes more and more the focus of computational engineering in Petroleum and Nuclear Industry in the last years. These problems are computer time consuming and require new stable and accurate coupling algorithms to be solved. For the last decades, the new development of coupling algorithms, and the increasing of computer performance have allowed to solve some ...

    • On heat conduction in domains containing noncoaxial cylinders 

      Lukkassen, Dag; Meidell, Annette (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2012)
      We consider heat conduction in domains containing noncoaxial cylinders. In particular, we present some regularity results for the solution and consider criteria which ensure the single valueness of the corresponding complex potential. Examples are discussed. In addition, we present some classes of cases where the parameters describing the solution are rational. Alternative ways of calculating the ...

    • Generalized Chessboard Structures Whose Effective Conductivities Are Integer Valued 

      Lukkassen, Dag; Meidell, Annette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-03-06)
      We consider generalized chessboard structures where the local conductivity takes two values 𝑎 and 𝑏 . All integer combinations of 𝑎 and 𝑏 which make the components of effective conductivity matrix integer valued are found. Moreover, we discuss the problem of estimating the effective conductivity matrix by using the finite-element method.
    • Homogenization of a singular random one-dimensional PDE with time-varying coefficients 

      Pardoux, Etienne; Piatnitski, Andrey (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-04)
      In this paper we study the homogenization of a nonautonomous parabolic equation with a large random rapidly oscillating potential in the case of one-dimensional spatial variable. We show that if the potential is a statistically homogeneous rapidly oscillating function of both temporal and spatial variables, then, under proper mixing assumptions, the limit equation is deterministic, and convergence ...
    • On a New Class of Hardy-type Inequalities 

      Adeleke, EO; Cizmesija, Aleksandra; Oguntuase, JA; Persson, Lars Erik; Pokaz, D (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-11-05)
      In this paper, we generalize a Hardy-type inequality to the class of arbitrary non-negative functions bounded from below and above with a convex function multiplied with positive real constants. This enables us to obtain new generalizations of the classical integral Hardy, Hardy-Hilbert, Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya, and Pólya-Knopp inequalities as well as of Godunova’s and of some recently obtained ...
    • Weighted Hardy Operators in Complementary Morrey Spaces 

      Lukkassen, Dag; Persson, Lars-Erik; Samko, Stefan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-11-11)
      We study the weighted -boundedness of the multidimensional weighted Hardy-type operators and with radial type weight , in the generalized complementary Morrey spaces defined by an almost increasing function . We prove a theorem which provides conditions, in terms of some integral inequalities imposed on and , for such a boundedness. These conditions are sufficient in the general case, but we ...

    • Weighted Hardy-Type Inequalities in Variable Exponent Morrey-Type Spaces 

      Lukkassen, Dag; Persson, Lars Erik; Samko, Stefan; Wall, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2013)
      We study the p(.) -> q(.) boundedness of weighted multidimensional Hardy-type operators H-w(alpha(.)) and H-w(alpha(.)) of variable order alpha(x), with radial weight w(vertical bar x vertical bar), from a variable exponent locally generalized Morrey space L-p(.),L-phi(.)(R-n, w) to another L-q(.),L-psi(.)(R-n, w). The exponents are assumed to satisfy the decay condition at the origin and infinity. ...
    • Deployment of a Neo-Hookean membrane: experimental and numerical analysis 

      Moatamedi, Mojtaba; Al-Bahkali, Essam; Erchiqui, Fouad; Souli, M (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-03-31)
      The aim of this research is to assess the response of a thin membrane subjected to high-pressure gas loading for inflation. This procedure is applied during the design process of the membrane structure to allow the product to resist high-pressure loading and to further characterize the hyper-elastic material. The simulation in this work considers the standard procedures used in the LS-DYNA software, ...

      Gogatishvili, Amiran; Mustafayev, Rza; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-08)
      In this paper we characterize the validity of the Hardy-type inequality &#8741 &#8741 &#8747 <sub>s</sub>&#8734) h(z)dz &#8741 p,u,(0,t) &#8741 q,w,(=,&#8734≤ c&#8741h&#8741 1,v(0,&#8734) where 0 < p < ∞,0< q ≤ +∞, u, w and v are weight functions on (0,∞). It is pointed out that this characterization can be used to obtain new characterizations for the boundedness between weighted Lebesgue spaces ...
    • Local refinement of ERBS curves 

      Dalmo, Rune (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2013-12-31)
      Expo-rational B-splines (ERBS) provide a blending type construction where local functions at each knot are blended together by infinitely smooth basis functions. In this work we consider some specific ERBS curves that are approximations of parametric curves. We study local refinement to increase flexibility by inserting local control curves at points of interest on the ERBS curve. Inserting knots ...
    • Design of water shock tube for testing shell materials 

      Ji, Hongjuan; Mustafa, Mohamad; Khawaja, Hassan Abbas; Ewan, Bruce C.; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-04-15)
      This paper presents design considerations for a shock tube experimental rig used to investigate the dynamic failure mechanisms of shell geometries subjected to water shock impact loading. In such setup, it is desirable that the drive pressure used within the tube can provide a wide range of impulsive loads on the test structures and some flexibility can be achieved on the applied pulse durations. ...

      Erchiqui, Fouad; Souli, M; Moatamedi, Mojtaba; Albahkali, E (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-12-31)
      In the environmental field, the problems of vibration reduction have become a major preoccupation, particularly on the noise generated by the acoustic radiation pressure produced by wind turbines. This paper is aimed at presenting the investigation on the application of FEM element method for study the acoustic radiation pressure produced by vertical-axis wind turbine. For this initiative, we ...
    • Matrix factorization of multivariate Bernstein polynomials 

      Dalmo, Rune (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015)
      Ordinary univariate Bernstein polynomials can be represented in matrix form using factor matrices. In this paper we present the definition and basic properties of such factor matrices extended from the univariate case to the general case of arbitrary number of variables by using barycentric coordinates in the hyper-simplices of respective dimension. The main results in the paper are related to the ...
    • Shock Tube. Detail overview of equipment and instruments in the shock tube experimental setup 

      Khawaja, Hassan Abbas; Kapaya, Juma; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Book; Bok, 2015)
      The shock tube is a device in which a normal shock wave is produced by the interaction of fluids at significantly high-pressure difference. The shock tube is comprised of two sections known as driver and driven sections. These two sections are interacted with the high-speed valve or a bursting disc. When the interaction happens, a shock wave forms almost instantaneously and propagates into the driven ...
