Nonlinear models of suspension bridges: discussion of the results

Pavel Drábek, Gabriela Holubová, Aleš Matas, Petr Nečesal (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we present several nonlinear models of suspension bridges; most of them have been introduced by Lazer and McKenna. We discuss some results which were obtained by the authors and other mathematicians for the boundary value problems and initial boundary value problems. Our intention is to point out the character of these results and to show which mathematical methods were used to prove them instead of giving precise proofs and statements.

Nonlinear Variational Inequalities Depending on a Parameter

Goeleven, D., Théra, M. (1995)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

This paper develops the results announced in the Note [14]. Using an eigenvalue problem governed by a variational inequality, we try to unify the theory concerning the post-critical equilibrium state of a thin elastic plate subjected to unilateral conditions.

Non-local damage modelling of quasi-brittle composites

Jiří Vala, Vladislav Kozák (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

Most building materials can be characterized as quasi-brittle composites with a cementitious matrix, reinforced by some stiffening particles or elements. Their massive exploitation motivates the development of numerical modelling and simulation of behaviour of such material class under mechanical, thermal, etc. loads, including the evaluation of the risk of initiation and development of micro- and macro-fracture. This paper demonstrates the possibility of certain deterministic prediction, applying...

Non-smoothness in the asymptotics of thin shells and propagation of singularities. Hyperbolic case

Philippe Karamian, Jacqueline Sanchez-Hubert, Évariste Sanchez Palencia (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We consider the limit behaviour of elastic shells when the relative thickness tends to zero. We address the case when the middle surface has principal curvatures of opposite signs and the boundary conditions ensure the geometrical rigidity. The limit problem is hyperbolic, but enjoys peculiarities which imply singularities of unusual intensity. We study these singularities and their propagation for several cases of loading, giving a somewhat complete description of the solution.
