I write about what I work on and what was fun to learn along the way, mostly computational mechanics, computer vision and machine learning. Also photographs from wherever I happen to be standing.

Cantilever under harmonic tip loadt = 0.00 s

−6060σ_xx [MPa]

P = +0.00 kN · v_tip = +0.000 mm

Euler Bernoulli beam, steel E = 210 GPa, L = 1 m, h = 100 mm, b = 50 mm, P(t) = 5 kN · sin(πt/2). Displacements scaled ×50.

Beam hardening in micro CT

Why a uniform part can look less dense in the middle than at the rim of a CT scan, and how I straighten the data before segmentation.

The weak form of linear elasticity

For a long time I used finite element software without really knowing what it solves. It does not solve the equilibrium equations as we write them in mechanics. It solves their weak form. I wanted…
