Geometry optimization with variationally consistent forces using higher-order finite element methods in Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations
(Bilkent University, 2021-09)Variationally consistent atomic forces are computed for Kohn-Sham density func-tional theory (DFT) solved via a higher order finite element (FEM) framework. Force expressions are derived for pseudopotential and all-electron ... -
Homogenization-based microscopic texture design and optimization in hydrodynamic lubrication
(Bilkent University, 2016-08)The aim of this thesis is to develop an optimization framework for the texture optimization in hydrodynamic lubrication using multi-scale homogenization technique. In hydrodynamic lubrication the asperities do not come ...
