Uniform stabilization of some damped second order evolution equations with vanishing short memory

Louis Tebou (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a damped abstract second order evolution equation with an additional vanishing damping of Kelvin–Voigt type. Unlike the earlier work by Zuazua and Ervedoza, we do not assume the operator defining the main damping to be bounded. First, using a constructive frequency domain method coupled with a decomposition of frequencies and the introduction of a new variable, we show that if the limit system is exponentially stable, then this evolutionary system is uniformly − with respect to the calibration...

Unilateral dynamic contact of von Kármán plates with singular memory

Igor Bock, Jiří Jarušek (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

The solvability of the contact problem is proved provided the plate is simply supported. The singular memory material is assumed. This makes it possible to get a priori estimates important for the strong convergence of gradients of velocities of solutions to the penalized problem.

Von Kármán equations. III. Solvability of the von Kármán equations with conditions for geometry of the boundary of the domain

Július Cibula (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

Solvability of the general boundary value problem for von Kármán system of nonlinear equations is studied. The problem is reduced to an operator equation. It is shown that the corresponding functional of energy is coercive and weakly lower semicontinuous. Then the functional of energy attains absolute minimum which is a variational solution of the problem.

Weight minimization of an elastic plate with a unilateral inner obstacle by a mixed finite element method

Ivan Hlaváček (1994)

Applications of Mathematics

Unilateral deflection problem of a clamped plate above a rigid inner obstacle is considered. The variable thickness of the plate is to be optimized to reach minimal weight under some constraints for maximal stresses. Since the constraints are expressed in terms of the bending moments only, Herrmann-Hellan finite element scheme is employed. The existence of an optimal thickness is proved and some convergence analysis for approximate penalized optimal design problem is presented.

Weyl formula with optimal remainder estimate of some elastic networks and applications

Kaïs Ammari, Mouez Dimassi (2010)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We consider a network of vibrating elastic strings and Euler-Bernoulli beams. Using a generalized Poisson formula and some Tauberian theorem, we give a Weyl formula with optimal remainder estimate. As a consequence we prove some observability and stabilization results.
