Although the intellectual merits of computational modelling across various length and time scales are generally well accepted, good illustrative examples are often lacking. One way to begin appreciating the benefits of the multiscale approach is to first gain experience in probing complex physical phenomena at one scale at a time. Here we discuss materials modelling at two characteristic scales separately, the atomistic level where interactions are specified through classical potentials and the...
In this paper we develop and study numerically a model to describe some aspects of sound propagation in the human lung, considered as a deformable and viscoelastic porous medium (the parenchyma) with millions of alveoli filled with air. Transmission of sound through the lung above 1 kHz is known to be highly frequency-dependent. We pursue the key idea that the viscoelastic parenchyma structure is highly heterogeneous on the small scale ε and use two-scale homogenization techniques to derive effective...
The global existence theorem of classical solutions for one-dimensional nonlinear thermoelasticity is proved for small and smooth initial data in the case of a bounded reference configuration for a homogeneous medium, considering the Neumann type boundary conditions: traction free and insulated. Moreover, the asymptotic behaviour of solutions is investigated.
The widely used method for solution of impacts of bodies, called the penalty method, is based on the contact force proportional to the length of the interpenetration of bodies. This method is regarded as unsatisfactory by the authors of this contribution, because of an inaccurate fulfillment of the energy conservation law and violation of the natural demand of impenetrability of bodies. Two non-traditional methods for the solution of impacts of bodies satisfy these demands exactly, or approximately,...
This work deals with the study of some stratigraphic models for the formation of geological basins under a maximal erosion rate constrain. It leads to introduce differential
inclusions of degenerated hyperbolic-parabolic type , where H is the maximal monotonous graph of the Heaviside function and E is a given non-negative function. Firstly, we present the new and realistic models and an original mathematical formulation, taking into account the weather-limited rate constraint in the conservation...
En estas notas presentamos algunos modelos físicos que han sido propuestos recientemente para tratar el problema de los movimientos repentinos y casi periódicos del hielo, así como la aparición de corrientes de hielo rápidas en los grandes mantos glaciares que se deslizan sobre lechos blandos y deformables. Estos fenómenos están relacionados con la transición de un régimen de flujo lento a uno rápido y pueden aparecer debido a una modificación del sistema de drenaje del glaciar. Los fenómenos en...
La non unicità dell'energia libera per un materiale viscoelastico di tipo «rate» viene provata mediante la determinazione di un controesempio.
Nonlocal effects on heat transport beyond a simple Fourier description are analyzed in a thermodynamical model. In the particular case of hot nanosystems cooled through a graphene layer, it is shown that these effects may increase in a ten percent the amount of removed heat, as compared with classical predictions based on the Fourier law.
The paper is devoted to the analysis of an abstract evolution inclusion with a non-invertible operator, motivated by problems arising in nonlocal phase separation modeling. Existence, uniqueness, and long-time behaviour of the solution to the related Cauchy problem are discussed in detail.
