Some energy conservative schemes for vibro-impacts of a beam on rigid obstacles

C. Pozzolini, M. Salaun (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

Caused by the problem of unilateral contact during vibrations of satellite solar arrays, the aim of this paper is to better understand such a phenomenon. Therefore, it is studied here a simplified model composed by a beam moving between rigid obstacles. Our purpose is to describe and compare some families of fully discretized approximations and their properties, in the case of non-penetration Signorini's conditions. For this, starting from the works of Dumont and Paoli, we adapt...

Analytical results on a model for damaging in domains and interfaces

Elena Bonetti, Michel Frémond (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper deals with a model describing damage processes in a (nonlinear) elastic body which is in contact with adhesion with a rigid support. On the basis of phase transitions theory, we detail the derivation of the model written in terms of a PDE system, combined with suitable initial and boundary conditions. Some internal constraints on the variables are introduced in the equations and on the boundary, to get physical consistency. We prove the existence of global in time solutions...

High-order WENO scheme for polymerization-type equations

Pierre Gabriel, Léon Matar Tine (2010)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Similarity:

Polymerization of proteins is a biochemical process involved in different diseases. Mathematically, it is generally modeled by aggregation-fragmentation-type equations. In this paper we consider a general polymerization model and propose a high-order numerical scheme to investigate the behavior of the solution. An important property of the equation is the mass conservation. The WENO scheme is built to preserve the total mass of proteins ...

A frictionless contact algorithm for deformable bodies

Olivier Pantz (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

This article is devoted to the presentation of a new contact algorithm for bodies undergoing finite deformations. We only address the kinematic aspect of the contact problem, that is the numerical treatment of the non-intersection constraint. In consequence, mechanical aspects like friction, adhesion or wear are not investigated and we restrict our analysis to the simplest frictionless case. On the other hand, our method allows us to treat contacts and self-contacts, thin or non-thin...

Integration of the EPDiff equation by particle methods

Alina Chertock, Philip Du Toit, Jerrold Eldon Marsden (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to apply particle methods to the numerical solution of the EPDiff equation. The weak solutions of EPDiff are contact discontinuities that carry momentum so that wavefront interactions represent collisions in which momentum is exchanged. This behavior allows for the description of many rich physical applications, but also introduces difficult numerical challenges. We present a particle method for the EPDiff...
