Work-packages

The project is divided into work-packages (WP) in relation to a specific class of problems defined in a particular domain (PD) giving the solution in a particular function space (FS). The outcomes follow from the existing preliminary results obtained by the project group.

WP1.   Configuration-dependent interpolation for homogeneous straight and curved 3D beams

  • PD:     one-dimensional linear (vector) space for straight beams, one-dimensional non-linear space for curved beams
  • FS:     six-dimensional non-linear manifold involving a three-dimensional vector space of positions, and a three-parametric group of orientations

Team members: Gordan Jelenić, Dragan Ribarić and Edita Papa Dukić
 

WP2.   Configuration-dependent interpolation for homogeneous flat and curved shells

  • PD:     two-dimensional linear (vector) space for flat shells, two-dimensional non-linear space for curved shells
  • FS:     five-dimensional non-linear manifold involving a three-dimensional vector space of positions, and a two-dimensional surface of a unit sphere representing rotations of the unit vectors spanning the shell mid-surface around one another

Team members: Gordan Jelenić and Dragan Ribarić
 

WP3.   Configuration-dependent interpolation for straight layered 2D beams including discontinuities

  • PD:     one-dimensional linear (vector) space
  • FS:     3*n-dimensional vector space of two positions and one rotation per layer for each of n layers

Team members: Gordan Jelenić, Leo Škec and Paulo Šćulac
 

WP4.   Configuration-dependent integration of equations of motion

  • PD:     one-dimensional and two-dimensional linear (vector) and non-linear spaces, three-dimensional vector space in union with a time dimension
  • FS:     respective function spaces of WP1-WP3, three-dimensional vector space for a 3D continuum

Team members: Gordan Jelenić, Maja Gaćeša and Mohammad Reza Moosavi
 

WP5.   Configuration-dependent interpolation for micro-polar continua  (in conjunction with CSF project ‘Young researchers’ career development — Education of new doctors of sciences’)

  • PD: three-dimensional linear (vector) space
  • FS: six-dimensional non-linear manifold involving a three-dimensional vector space of positions, and a three-parametric group of orientations
