The geometry of the space of Cauchy data of nonlinear PDEs

Giovanni Moreno (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

First-order jet bundles can be put at the foundations of the modern geometric approach to nonlinear PDEs, since higher-order jet bundles can be seen as constrained iterated jet bundles. The definition of first-order jet bundles can be given in many equivalent ways - for instance, by means of Grassmann bundles. In this paper we generalize it by means of flag bundles, and develop the corresponding theory for higher-oder and infinite-order jet bundles. We show that this is a natural geometric...

Existence Results for Unilateral Quasistatic Contact Problems With Friction and Adhesion

Marius Cocu, Rémi Rocca (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We consider a two dimensional elastic body submitted to unilateral contact conditions, local friction and adhesion on a part of his boundary. After discretizing the variational formulation with respect to time we use a smoothing technique to approximate the friction term by an auxiliary problem. A shifting technique enables us to obtain the existence of incremental solutions with bounds independent of the regularization parameter. We finally obtain the existence of a quasistatic...

Quasistatic frictional problems for elastic and viscoelastic materials

Oanh Chau, Dumitru Motreanu, Mircea Sofonea (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider two quasistatic problems which describe the frictional contact between a deformable body and an obstacle, the so-called foundation. In the first problem the body is assumed to have a viscoelastic behavior, while in the other it is assumed to be elastic. The frictional contact is modeled by a general velocity dependent dissipation functional. We derive weak formulations for the models and prove existence and uniqueness results. The proofs are based on the theory of evolution...
