Invariant integrals for the equilibrium problem for a plate with a crack.
In a continuum theory of crystals with defects, invariant line integrals measure the line defects of the lattice structure. It is shown that the integrands of invariant line integrals can always be taken to have the transformation properties of covariant vector-valued functions.
In vivo visualization of cardiovascular structures is possible using medical images. However, one has to realize that the resulting 3D geometries correspond to in vivo conditions. This entails an internal stress state to be present in the in vivo measured geometry of e.g. a blood vessel due to the presence of the blood pressure. In order to correct for this in vivo stress, this paper presents an inverse method to restore the original zero-pressure geometry of a structure, and to recover the in vivo...
Si considera un modello discreto (per elementi finiti) di un solido o un sistema strutturale perfettamente elastoplastico, con condizioni di snervamento «linearizzate a tratti», nell’ipotesi di olonomia assunta per processi di caricamento proporzionali. Supponendo noti su base sperimentale certi spostamenti sotto assegnate azioni esterne, si formula il problema di identificare i limiti di snervamento, ossia le resistenze locali. Si dimostra che questo problema inverso di meccanica strutturale non...
It is proved that one can choose a control function on an arbitrarilly small open subset of the boundary of an obstacle so that the total radiation from this obstacle for a fixed direction of the incident plane wave and for a fixed wave number will be as small as one wishes. The obstacle is called "invisible" in this case.
We study the corrector matrix to the conductivity equations. We show that if converges weakly to the identity, then for any laminate at almost every point. This simple property is shown to be false for generic microgeometries if the dimension is greater than two in the work Briane et al. [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., to appear]. In two dimensions it holds true for any microgeometry as a corollary of the work in Alessandrini and Nesi [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal.158 (2001) 155-171]. We use this...

Estimates for the combined effect of boundary approximation and numerical integration on the approximation of (simple) eigenvalues and eigenvectors of 4th order eigenvalue problems with variable/constant coefficients in convex domains with curved boundary by an isoparametric mixed finite element method, which, in the particular case of bending problems of aniso-/ortho-/isotropic plates with variable/constant thickness, gives a simultaneous approximation to bending moment tensor field and displacement...

In this paper, we are concerned with a kind of Signorini transmission problem in a unbounded domain. A variational inequality is derived when discretizing this problem by coupled FEM-BEM. To solve such variational inequality, an iterative method, which can be viewed as a variant of the D-N alternative method, will be introduced. In the iterative method, the finite element part and the boundary element part can be solved independently. It will be shown that the convergence speed of this iteration...

We consider the linearized elasticity system in a multidomain of . This multidomain is the union of a horizontal plate with fixed cross section and small thickness ε, and of a vertical beam with fixed height and small cross section of radius . The lateral boundary of the plate and the top of the beam are assumed to be clamped. When ε and tend to zero simultaneously, with , we identify the limit problem. This limit problem involves six junction conditions.
