Guidelines
The thesis objective is to investigate the applicability of spectral collocation methods in numerical solution of boundary value problems in solid mechanics. The thesis will start with the solution of simple classical problems in linearised elasticity theory that have an analytical solution, such as the semi-infinite elastic medium subject to a surface load. This will subsequently allow one to easily asses the performance of the given numerical method via the direct comparison of the numerical solution with the exact analytical solution. Once the methodology is tested in the linearised setting, the thesis can proceed either with the focus on subtleties of the numerical method (Fourier transformed version of the spectral collocation method, preconditioning of spectral differentiation matrices) or with the treatment of more advanced physical models (phase field models for the response of shape memory alloys). Numerical methods will be implemented in Matlab.
