An elastic membrane with an attached non-linear thermoelastic rod

Werner Horn, Jan Sokołowski (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We study a thermo-mechanical system consisting of an elastic membrane to which a shape-memory rod is glued. The slow movements of the membrane are controlled by the motions of the attached rods. A quasi-static model is used. We include the elastic feedback of the membrane on the rods. This results in investigating an elliptic boundary value problem in a domain Ω ⊂ R^2 with a cut, coupled with non-linear equations for the vertical motions of the rod and the temperature on the rod. We prove the existence...

An elementary theory of the oblique impact of rods

Robin J. Knops, Piero Villaggio (2001)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

An extension is proposed of a classical approximate method for estimating the stress state in an elastic rod obliquely colliding against a rigid wall.

An energy-preserving Discrete Element Method for elastodynamics∗

Laurent Monasse, Christian Mariotti (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We develop a Discrete Element Method (DEM) for elastodynamics using polyhedral elements. We show that for a given choice of forces and torques, we recover the equations of linear elastodynamics in small deformations. Furthermore, the torques and forces derive from a potential energy, and thus the global equation is an Hamiltonian dynamics. The use of an explicit symplectic time integration scheme allows us to recover conservation of energy, and thus stability over long time simulations. These theoretical...

An entropy satisfying scheme for two-layer shallow water equations with uncoupled treatment

François Bouchut, Tomás Morales de Luna (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider the system of partial differential equations governing the one-dimensional flow of two superposed immiscible layers of shallow water. The difficulty in this system comes from the coupling terms involving some derivatives of the unknowns that make the system nonconservative, and eventually nonhyperbolic. Due to these terms, a numerical scheme obtained by performing an arbitrary scheme to each layer, and using time-splitting or other similar techniques leads to instabilities in...

An equilibrium finite element method in three-dimensional elasticity

Michal Křížek (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

The tetrahedral stress element is introduced and two different types of a finite piecewise linear approximation of the dual elasticity problem are investigated on a polyhedral domain. Fot both types a priori error estimates O ( h 2 ) in L 2 -norm and O ( h 1 / 2 ) in L ∞ -norm are established, provided the solution is smooth enough. These estimates are based on the fact that for any polyhedron there exists a strongly regular family of decomprositions into tetrahedra, which is proved in the paper, too.

An example in the gradient theory of phase transitions

Camillo De Lellis (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove by giving an example that when n ≥ 3 the asymptotic behavior of functionals ∫ Ω ε | ∇ 2 u | 2 + ( 1 - | ∇ u | 2 ) 2 / ε is quite different with respect to the planar case. In particular we show that the one-dimensional ansatz due to Aviles and Giga in the planar case (see [2]) is no longer true in higher dimensions.

An extension of small-strain models to the large-strain range based on an additive decomposition of a logarithmic strain

Horák, Martin, Jirásek, Milan (2013)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

This paper describes model combining elasticity and plasticity coupled to isotropic damage. However, the conventional theory fails after the loss of ellipticity of the governing differential equation. From the numerical point of view, loss of ellipticity is manifested by the pathological dependence of the results on the size and orientation of the finite elements. To avoid this undesired behavior, the model is regularized by an implicit gradient formulation. Finally, the constitutive model is extended...

An optimal algorithm with Barzilai-Borwein steplength and superrelaxation for QPQC problem

Pospíšil, Lukáš (2013)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

We propose a modification of MPGP algorithm for solving minimizing problem of strictly convex quadratic function subject to separable spherical constraints. This active set based algorithm explores the faces by the conjugate gradients and changes the active sets and active variables by the gradient projection with the Barzilai-Borwein steplength. We show how to use the algorithm for the solution of separable and equality constraints. The power of our modification is demonstrated on the solution...

An optimal control problem for a fourth-order variational inequality

A. Khludnev (1992)

Banach Center Publications

An optimal control problem is considered where the state of the system is described by a variational inequality for the operator w → εΔ²w - φ(‖∇w‖²)Δw. A set of nonnegative functions φ is used as a control region. The problem is shown to have a solution for every fixed ε > 0. Moreover, the solvability of the limit optimal control problem corresponding to ε = 0 is proved. A compactness property of the solutions of the optimal control problems for ε > 0 and their relation with the limit problem...
