Dynamic adaptive concurrent multi-scale simulation of wave propagation in 3D media

Thesis

Over the last decades the use of numerical simulations to characterize the response of real structures has proven to be a valid tool that can accelerate the design process. However, the correct interpretation of the mechanical behaviour including stress localisations and geometrical features, requires the adoption of fine discretisations that drastically increase the computational cost. Even when using one numerical description for the mechanichal representation of the structure (e.g....
