On Determination of Principal Frequencies of Elastic Systems with Many degrees of Freedom by a Method of Successive Approximations
The space of divergence-free functions with vanishing normal flux on the boundary is approximated by subspaces of finite elements that have the same property. The easiest way of generating basis functions in these subspaces is considered.
We are interested in the finite element approximation of Coulomb's frictional unilateral contact problem in linear elasticity. Using a mixed finite element method and an appropriate regularization, it becomes possible to prove existence and uniqueness when the friction coefficient is less than Cε^{2}|log(h)|^{-1}, where h and ε denote the discretization and regularization parameters, respectively. This bound converging very slowly towards 0 when h decreases (in comparison with the already known...
The present part of the paper completes the discussion in Part I in two directions. Firstly, in Section 5 a number of existence theorems for a solution to Problem III (principle of minimum potential energy) is established. Secondly, Section 6 and 7 are devoted to a discussion of both the classical and the abstract approach to the duality theory as well as the relationship between the solvability of Problem III and its dual one.
The equilibrium state of a deformable body under the action of body forces is described by the well known conditions of equilibrium, the straindisplacement relations, the constitutive law of the linear theory and the boundary conditions. The authors discuss in detail the boundary conditions. The starting point is the general relation between the vectors of stress and displacement on the boundary which can be expressed in terms of a subgradient relation. It is shown that this relation includes as...
A hybrid flexible beam equation with harmonic disturbance at the end where a rigid tip body is attached is considered. A simple motor torque feedback control is designed for which only the measured time-dependent angle of rotation and its velocity are utilized. It is shown that this control can impel the amplitude of the attached rigid tip body tending to zero as time goes to infinity.

The paper deals with the problem of finding a curve, going through the interior of the domain , accross which the flux , where is the solution of a mixed elliptic boundary value problem solved in , attains its maximum.
In classical constitutive models such as the Navier-Stokes fluid model, and the Hookean or neo-Hookean solid models, the stress is given explicitly in terms of kinematical quantities. Models for viscoelastic and inelastic responses on the other hand are usually implicit relationships between the stress and the kinematical quantities. Another class of problems wherein it would be natural to develop implicit constitutive theories, though seldom resorted to, are models for bodies that are constrained....
