On the geometry and dynamics of crystalline continua
In this part we weaken the sufficient condition to obtain the stresses continuous and bounded in the threedimensional case, and we treat a certain coupled system.
The continuity and boundedness of the stress to the solution of the thermoelastic system is studied first for the linear case on a strip and then for the twodimensional model involving nonlinearities, noncontinuous heating regimes and isolated boundary nonsmoothnesses of the heated body.
A quasilinear noncoupled thermoelastic system is studied both on a threedimensional bounded domain with a smooth boundary and for a generalized model involving the influence of supports. Sufficient conditions are derived under which the stresses are bounded and continuous on the closure of the domain.
The Signorini problem with friction in quasi-coupled linear thermo-elasticity (the 2D-case) is discussed. The problem is the model problem in the geodynamics. Using piecewise linear finite elements on the triangulation of the given domain, numerical procedures are proposed. The finite element analysis for the Signorini problem with friction on the contact boundary of a polygonal domain is given. The rate of convergence is proved if the exact solution is sufficiently regular.
In 1964, Green and Rivlin [1, 2] proposed two non-standard theories of continua. Both papers concerned non-simple materials: the first considered deformation gradients of higher order than the first as dependent variables; and the second, which generalised the first, treated materials whose kinematic state was not completely detemined by the deformation function, but was also dependent upon some multipolar deformation functions. In both theories the existence of higher order stresses is fundamental.In...
The aim of this paper is to prove some properties of the solution to the Cauchy problem for the system of partial differential equations describing thermoelasticity of nonsimple materials proposed by D. Iesan. Explicit formulas for the Fourier transform and some estimates in Sobolev spaces for the solution of the Cauchy problem are proved.
After writing the equations which characterize the thermomechanics of hyperelastic continua subject to small transformations according to a recent hypothesis on the heat flux vector, we study the spherical thermomechanical waves.
