Thermal convection in Earth’s mantle are driving forces of plate tectonics. Combine model –viscous uncompressed mantle and thermo-elastic thin plate – is developed. The finite element approach in numerical modelling of geodynamical processes is presented.

We consider the problem of a clamped elastic thin plate unilaterally constrained by an elastic obstacle. A discrete, finite element approach to solve this nonlinear problem is given here and its convergence properties are discussed.

Abstract The sound radiating from rolling tires is the most important source of traffic noise in urban regions. In this contribution a detailed finite element approach for the dynamics of tire/road systems is presented with emphasis on rolling noise prediction. The analysis is split into sequential steps, namely, the nonlinear analysis of the stationary rolling problem within an arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian framework, and a subsequent analysis of the transient dynamic response due to the excitation caused by road surface roughness. Here, a modal superposition approach is employed using complex eigenvalue analysis. Finally, the sound radiation analysis of the rolling tire/road system is performed.
