Non-smoothness in the asymptotics of thin shells and propagation of singularities. Hyperbolic case

Philippe Karamian, Jacqueline Sanchez-Hubert, Évariste Sanchez Palencia (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

We consider the limit behaviour of elastic shells when the relative thickness tends to zero. We address the case when the middle surface has principal curvatures of opposite signs and the boundary conditions ensure the geometrical rigidity. The limit problem is hyperbolic, but enjoys peculiarities which imply singularities of unusual intensity. We study these singularities and their propagation for several cases of loading, giving a somewhat complete description of the solution. ...

Singularities in drawings of singular surfaces

Alain Joets (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

When drawing regular surfaces, one creates a concrete and visual example of a projection between two spaces of dimension 2. The singularities of the projection define the apparent contour of the surface. As a result there are two types of generic singularities: fold and cusp (Whitney singularities). The case of singular surfaces is much more complex. A priori, it is expected that new singularities may appear, resulting from the "interaction" between the singularities of the surface and...

COMPUTATION of generalized stress intensity factors for bonded elastic structures

Marius Bochniak, Anna–Margarete Sändig (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We consider coupled structures consisting of two different linear elastic materials bonded along an interface. The material discontinuities combined with geometrical peculiarities of the outer boundary lead to unbounded stresses. The mathematical analysis of the singular behaviour of the elastic fields, especially near points where the interface meets the outer boundary, can be performed by means of asymptotic expansions with respect to the distance from the geometrical and structural...

Quasi singularities

Vladimir M. Zakalyukin (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

A classification of simple equivalence classes of function germs with respect to new relations is given. The equivalence relation is similar but weaker than the right action of diffeomorphisms which preserve the boundary. It is used in classifying Lagrange projections with boundary. The simple classes of function germs with respect to the equivalence similar to fibration preserving action are also discussed.
