Existence Results for Unilateral Quasistatic Contact Problems With Friction and Adhesion

Marius Cocu, Rémi Rocca (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider a two dimensional elastic body submitted to unilateral contact conditions, local friction and adhesion on a part of his boundary. After discretizing the variational formulation with respect to time we use a smoothing technique to approximate the friction term by an auxiliary problem. A shifting technique enables us to obtain the existence of incremental solutions with bounds independent of the regularization parameter. We finally obtain the existence of a quasistatic solution...

Existence theorem for nonlinear micropolar elasticity

Josip Tambača, Igor Velčić (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we give an existence theorem for the equilibrium problem for nonlinear micropolar elastic body. We consider the problem in its minimization formulation and apply the direct methods of the calculus of variations. As the main step towards the existence theorem, under some conditions, we prove the equivalence of the sequential weak lower semicontinuity of the total energy and the quasiconvexity, in some variables, of the stored energy function.

Explicit integration of equations of motion solved on computer cluster

Rek, Václav (2019)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

In the last decade the dramatic onset of multicore and multi-processor systems in combination with the possibilities which now provide modern computer networks have risen. The complexity and size of the investigated models are constantly increasing due to the high computational complexity of computational tasks in dynamics and statics of structures, mainly because of the nonlinear character of the solved models. Any possibility to speed up such calculation procedures is more than desirable. This...
