Interpolation-based solution of a nonlinear eigenvalue problem in fluid-structure interaction

A nonlinear eigenvalue problem arising from a coupled finite element/boundary element approach for fluid-structure interaction is considered. We propose an approach based on polynomial interpolation and linearization for its numerical solution. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Microdeformation in Heterogeneous Polymers,Revealed by Electron Microscopy

Recent investigations of the tensile fracture behaviour of representative glassy and semicrystalline impact-resistant polymers are reviewed, with emphasis on the microdeformation behaviour as revealed by electron microscopy of sections from bulk specimens, where the crack-tip damage zone has been embedded and/or stained under load, and on thin films deformed in situ. The insight that such techniques have provided into the toughening mechanisms is discussed.
