Mathematical study of an evolution problem describing the thermomechanical process in shape memory alloys

Pierluigi Colli (1991)

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

In this paper we prove existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence for a one-dimensional time-dependent problem related to a thermo-mechanical model of structural phase transitions in solids. This model assumes the free energy depending on temperature, macroscopic deformation and also on the proportions of the phases. Here we neglect regularizing terms in the momentum balance equation and in the constitutive laws for the phase proportions.

Mathematical treatment for thermoelastic plate with a curvilinear hole in S-plane

Alaa A. El-Bary (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

The Cauchy integral method has been applied to derive exact and closed expressions for Goursat's functions for the first and second fundamental problems for an infinite thermoelastic plate weakened by a hole having arbitrary shape. The plate considered is conformally mapped to the area of the right half-plane. Many previous discussions of various authors can be considered as special cases of this work. The shape of the hole being an ellipse, a crescent, a triangle, or a cut having the shape of a...

Mathematically Modelling The Dissolution Of Solid Dispersions

Meere, Martin, McGinty, Sean, Pontrelli, Giuseppe (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

A solid dispersion is a dosage form in which an active ingredient (a drug) is mixed with at least one inert solid component. The purpose of the inert component is usually to improve the bioavailability of the drug. In particular, the inert component is frequently chosen to improve the dissolution rate of a drug that is poorly soluble in water. The construction of reliable mathematical models that accurately describe the dissolution of solid dispersions would clearly assist with their rational design....

Mechanical aspects of growth in soft tissues

D. Ambrosi, F. Guana (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In the last years many efforts have been devoted to understand the stressmodulated growth of soft tissues. Recent theoretical achievements suggest that a component of the stress-growth coupling is tissue-independent and reads as an Eshelby-like tensor. In this paper we investigate the mathematical properties and the qualitative behavior predicted by equations that specialize that model under few simple assumptions. Equations strictly deduced from a dissipation principle are compared with heuristic...

Mesh r-adaptation for unilateral contact problems

Pierre Béal, Jonas Koko, Rachid Touzani (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We present a mesh adaptation method by node movement for two-dimensional linear elasticity problems with unilateral contact. The adaptation is based on a hierarchical estimator on finite element edges and the node displacement techniques use an analogy of the mesh topology with a spring network. We show, through numerical examples, the efficiency of the present adaptation method.

Mesoscopic description of boundary effects in nanoscale heat transport

F.X. Àlvarez, V.A. Cimmelli, D. Jou, A. Sellitto (2012)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

We review some of the most important phenomena due to the phonon-wall collisions in nonlocal heat transport in nanosystems, and show how they may be described through certain slip boundary conditions in phonon hydrodynamics. Heat conduction in nanowires of different cross sections and in thin layers is analyzed, and the dependence of the thermal conductivity on the geometry, as well as on the roughness is pointed out. We also analyze the effects of the roughness of the surface of the pores on the...

Metodo della differenza ali'indietro e determinazione dei moduli tangenti per analisi evolutive elastoplastiche a passi finiti

Umberto Perego (1988)

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

Si discute l'applicazione di un procedimento per "differenza all'indietro" ("backward difference") all'integrazione numerica nel tempo di leggi costitutive elastoplastiche e se ne esaminano alcuni aspetti peculiari. Con riferimento a modelli costitutivi isotropi per i quali le funzioni di snervamento dipendono dall'invariante primo delle tensioni, dall'invariante secondo del deviatore delle tensioni e da opportune variabili interne, si ricavano le relazioni non lineari implicite in termini di incrementi...
