Godunov method for nonconservative hyperbolic systems

María Luz Muñoz-Ruiz, Carlos Parés (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper is concerned with the numerical approximation of Cauchy problems for one-dimensional nonconservative hyperbolic systems. The theory developed by Dal Maso et al. [J. Math. Pures Appl.74 (1995) 483–548] is used in order to define the weak solutions of the system: an interpretation of the nonconservative products as Borel measures is given, based on the choice of a family of paths drawn in the phase space. Even if the family of paths can be chosen arbitrarily, it is natural to require this...

Gradient theory for plasticity via homogenization of discrete dislocations

Adriana Garroni, Giovanni Leoni, Marcello Ponsiglione (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We deduce a macroscopic strain gradient theory for plasticity from a model of discrete dislocations. We restrict our analysis to the case of a cylindrical symmetry for the crystal under study, so that the mathematical formulation will involve a two-dimensional variational problem. The dislocations are introduced as point topological defects of the strain fields, for which we compute the elastic energy stored outside the so-called core region. We show that the Γ -limit of this energy (suitably rescaled),...

Ground states in complex bodies

Paolo Maria Mariano, Giuseppe Modica (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

A unified framework for analyzing the existence of ground states in wide classes of elastic complex bodies is presented here. The approach makes use of classical semicontinuity results, Sobolev mappings and cartesian currents. Weak diffeomorphisms are used to represent macroscopic deformations. Sobolev maps and cartesian currents describe the inner substructure of the material elements. Balance equations for irregular minimizers are derived. A contribution to the debate about the role of the balance...

Group synchronization of diffusively coupled harmonic oscillators

Liyun Zhao, Jun Liu, Lan Xiang, Jin Zhou (2016)

Kybernetika

This paper considers group synchronization issue of diffusively directed coupled harmonic oscillators for two cases with nonidentical and identical agent dynamics. For the case of coupled nonidentical harmonic oscillators with positive coupling, it is demonstrated that distributed group synchronization can always be achieved under two kinds of network structures, i. e., the strongly connected graph and the acyclic partition topology with a directed spanning tree. It is interesting to find that the...

Guaranteed and computable bounds of the limit load for variational problems with linear growth energy functionals

Jaroslav Haslinger, Sergey Repin, Stanislav Sysala (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper is concerned with guaranteed and computable bounds of the limit (or safety) load, which is one of the most important quantitative characteristics of mathematical models associated with linear growth functionals. We suggest a new method for getting such bounds and illustrate its performance. First, the main ideas are demonstrated with the paradigm of a simple variational problem with a linear growth functional defined on a set of scalar valued functions. Then, the method is extended to...

Guided waves in a fluid layer on an elastic irregular bottom.

Andrés Fraguela Collar (1996)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this paper one considers the linearized problem to determine the movement of an ideal heavy fluid contained in an unbounded container withelastic walls. As initial data one knows the movement of both the bottom and the free surface of the fluid and also the strength of certain perturbation, strong enough to take the bottom out of its rest state.One important point to be considered regards the influence of the bottom’s geometry on the propagation of superficial waves. This problem has been already...
