Weak solvability of elliptic variational inequalities coupled with a nonlinear differential equation (08.10.2024)
In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of elliptic variational inequalities coupled with a nonlinear ODE. Considering an elliptic equation in the domain allows us to include a fully nonlinear ODE on the contact surface which gives us new applications of frictional adhesion contact problems.

NORMAR-II grant awarded! (01.10.2024)
At the end of September it was announced that the NORMAR-II grant for upgrades to the Ægir 6000 ROV system has been approved! This funding ensures the Centre’s continued access to this essential deep-sea infrastructure and will allow us to keep the ROV system state-of-the-art. We’re looking forward to many more dives with upgraded equipment, pushing the boundaries of deep-sea exploration.
