Variational principles in the linear theory of elasticity for general boundary conditions

Ivan Hlaváček (1967)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

Mixed boundary-value problem of the classical theory of elasticity is considered, where not only displacements and tractions are prescribed on some parts of the boundary, but also conditions of contact and elastic supports for normal and tangential directions to the boundary surface separately. Classical variational principles are derived using functional analysis methods, especially methods of Hilbert space. Furthermore, generalized variational principles and bilateral estimates of...

On the existence and uniqueness of solution and some variational principles in linear theories of elasticity with couple-stresses. I: Cosserat continuum

Ivan Hlaváček, Miroslav Hlaváček (1969)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

A weak (generalized) solution to the boundary-value problems in Cosserat continuum is defined. Its existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence upon the given data is proved for the statical loading of bounded, inhomogeneous and anisotropic bodies. Principles of minimum potential energy, of minimum complementary energy and some generalized variational principles are established.

Quasistatic frictional problems for elastic and viscoelastic materials

Oanh Chau, Dumitru Motreanu, Mircea Sofonea (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider two quasistatic problems which describe the frictional contact between a deformable body and an obstacle, the so-called foundation. In the first problem the body is assumed to have a viscoelastic behavior, while in the other it is assumed to be elastic. The frictional contact is modeled by a general velocity dependent dissipation functional. We derive weak formulations for the models and prove existence and uniqueness results. The proofs are based on the theory of evolution...

Contact between elastic bodies. III. Dual finite element analysis

Jaroslav Haslinger, Ivan Hlaváček (1981)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

The problem of a unilateral contact between elastic bodies with an apriori bounded contact zone is formulated in terms of stresses via the principle of complementary energy. Approximations are defined by means of self-equilibriated triangular block-elements and an L 2 -error estimate is proven provided the exact solution is regular enough.
