Stress-Based Methods for Variational Inequalities in Solid Mechanics: Finite Element Discretization and Solution by Hierar- chical Optimization

This SNSF-Lead Agency funded project is part of the highly competitive DFG-funded "Schwerpunktprogramm" SPP 1962, "Nichtglatte Systeme und Komplementaritätsprobleme mit verteilten Parametern: Simulation und mehrstufige Optimierung", coordinated by the Humboldt Universität Berlin.

The project will be jointly coordinated by Professor Rolf Krause and Professor Gerhard Starke (University of Duisburg-Essen, Faculty of Mathematics).
