Remarks on nonlinear biharmonic evolution equation of Kirchhoff type in noncylindrical domain.
In compressible Neohookean elasticity one minimizes functionals which are composed by the sum of the norm of the deformation gradient and a nonlinear function of the determinant of the gradient. Non–interpenetrability of matter is then represented by additional invertibility conditions. An existence theory which includes a precise notion of invertibility and allows for cavitation was formulated by Müller and Spector in 1995. It applies, however, only if some -norm of the gradient with is controlled...
The gradient based topological optimization tools introduced during the last ten years tend naturally to modify the topology of a domain by creating small holes inside the domain. Once these holes have been created, they usually remain unchanged, at least during the topological phase of the optimization algorithm. In this paper, a new asymptotic expansion is introduced which allows to decide whether an existing hole must be removed or not for improving the cost function. Then, two numerical examples...

This paper is concerned with the unilateral contact problem in linear elasticity. We define two a posteriori error estimators of residual type to evaluate the accuracy of the mixed finite element approximation of the contact problem. Upper and lower bounds of the discretization error are proved for both estimators and several computations are performed to illustrate the theoretical results.
We consider the Pn model to approximate the time dependent transport equation in one dimension of space. In a diffusive regime, the solution of this system is solution of a diffusion equation. We are looking for a numerical scheme having the diffusion limit property: in a diffusive regime, it has to give the solution of the limiting diffusion equation on a mesh at the diffusion scale. The numerical scheme proposed is an extension of the Godunov type scheme proposed by Gosse to solve the P1 model...
Nous étudions les résonances de Rayleigh créées par un obstacle strictement convexe à bord analytique en dimension 2. Nous montrons qu’il existe exactement deux suites de résonances et convergeant exponentiellement vite vers l’axe réel dans un voisinage polynomial de l’axe réel, et exponentiellement proches d’une suite de quasimodes réels. De plus, est un symbole analytique d’ordre 0 en la variable dont on donne le premier terme du développement. Nous construisons pour cela des quasimodes...
The solution of the equations which govern the slow motions (for which the inertia forces are negligible) in an elastic sphere is studied for a great variety of rheological models and surface tractions with rotational symmetry (Caputo 1984a). The solution is expressed in terms of spherical harmonics and it is shown that its time dependent component is dependent on the order of the harmonic. The dependence of the time component of the solution on the order of the harmonic number is studied. The problem...
