Quasi-static rate-independent evolutions: characterization, existence, approximation and application to fracture mechanics

Matteo Negri (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We characterize quasi-static rate-independent evolutions, by means of their graph parametrization, in terms of a couple of equations: the first gives stationarity while the second provides the energy balance. An abstract existence result is given for functionals ℱ of class C1 in reflexive separable Banach spaces. We provide a couple of constructive proofs of existence which share common features with the theory of minimizing movements for gradient flows. Moreover, considering a sequence of functionals...

Rank 1 convex hulls of isotropic functions in dimension 2 by 2

Miroslav Šilhavý (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

Let f be a rotationally invariant (with respect to the proper orthogonal group) function defined on the set M 2 × 2 of all 2 by 2 matrices. Based on conditions for the rank 1 convexity of f in terms of signed invariants of 𝔸 (to be defined below), an iterative procedure is given for calculating the rank 1 convex hull of a rotationally invariant function. A special case in which the procedure terminates after the second step is determined and examples of the actual calculations are given.

Rate independent Kurzweil processes

Pavel Krejčí, Matthias Liero (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

The Kurzweil integral technique is applied to a class of rate independent processes with convex energy and discontinuous inputs. We prove existence, uniqueness, and continuous data dependence of solutions in B V spaces. It is shown that in the context of elastoplasticity, the Kurzweil solutions coincide with natural limits of viscous regularizations when the viscosity coefficient tends to zero. The discontinuities produce an additional positive dissipation term, which is not homogeneous of degree...

RBF Based Meshless Method for Large Scale Shallow Water Simulations: Experimental Validation

Y. Alhuri, A. Naji, D. Ouazar, A. Taik (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

2D shallow water equations with depth-averaged k−ε model is considered. A meshless method based on multiquadric radial basis functions is described. This methods is based on the collocation formulation and does not require the generation of a grid and any integral evaluation. The application of this method to a flow in horizontal channel, taken as an experimental device, is presented. The results of computations are compared with experimental data...

Reachability of nonnegative equilibrium states for the semilinear vibrating string by varying its axial load and the gain of damping

Alexander Y. Khapalov (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We show that the set of nonnegative equilibrium-like states, namely, like ( y d , 0 ) of the semilinear vibrating string that can be reached from any non-zero initial state ( y 0 , y 1 ) ∈ H 0 1 ( 0 , 1 ) × L 2 ( 0 , 1 ) , by varying its axial load and the gain of damping, is dense in the “nonnegative” part of the subspace L 2 ( 0 , 1 ) × { 0 } of L 2 ( 0 , 1 ) × H - 1 ( 0 , 1 ) . Our main results deal with nonlinear terms which admit at most the linear growth at infinity in y and satisfy certain restriction on their total impact on (0,∞) with respect to the time-variable.

Reduced-order Unscented Kalman Filtering with application to parameter identification in large-dimensional systems

Philippe Moireau, Dominique Chapelle (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We propose a general reduced-order filtering strategy adapted to Unscented Kalman Filtering for any choice of sampling points distribution. This provides tractable filtering algorithms which can be used with large-dimensional systems when the uncertainty space is of reduced size, and these algorithms only invoke the original dynamical and observation operators, namely, they do not require tangent operator computations, which of course is of considerable benefit when nonlinear operators are considered....
