Polynomial Chaos Expansion in Bio- and Structural Mechanics
PublicationThis thesis presents a probabilistic approach to modelling the mechanics of materials and structures where the modelled performance is influenced by uncertainty in the input parameters. The work is interdisciplinary and the methods described are applied to medical and civil engineering problems. The motivation for this work was the necessity of mechanics-based approaches in the modelling and simulation of implants used in the repair...

Mechanics of Micro- and Nano-Size Materials and Structures
PublicationNanotechnology knowledge is always looking to expand its boundaries to achieve the mostsignificant benefit to human life and meet the growing needs of today. In this case, we can refer tomicro- and nanosensors in micro/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). These electricaldevices can detect minimal physical stimuli up to one nanometer in size. Today, micro/nano-sensordevices are widely used in the...

Approximation of Covariance Function with Application to Stochastic Mechanics.
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono koncepcję rozwinięć kanonicznych dla funkcji losowych oraz możliwość ich zastosowania w stochastycznej mechanice gruntów. Rozpatrzono rozkład widmowy, rozwinięcia Karhunena-Loevego oraz rozwinięcia ortogonalne zmodyfikowanymi wielomianami Hermite'a. Przeprowadzono analizę błędów dla zagadnienia warstwy gruntu o losowych parametrach sprężystych, uzyskano analityczne rozwiązanie systemu stochastycznego.

From fluid mechanics backgrounds to modern field theory
PublicationOur presentation keeps a historical line of reasoning, since we start from old concepts of fluid mechanics and finish on concepts of modern field theory. We want to show that some facts from the nature phenomena, which have firstly been discovered on the ground of fluid mechanics, were next incorporated into physics and later become the important pattern for whole mathematical physics. Especially, well-known continuum models, which...
