Mathematical and numerical modelling of piezoelectric sensors

Sebastien Imperiale, Patrick Joly (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

The present work aims at proposing a rigorous analysis of the mathematical and numerical modelling of ultrasonic piezoelectric sensors. This includes the well-posedness of the final model, the rigorous justification of the underlying approximation and the design and analysis of numerical methods. More precisely, we first justify mathematically the classical quasi-static approximation that reduces the electric unknowns to a scalar electric potential. We next justify the reduction of the...

Numerical approximation of nematic liquid crystal flows governed by the Ericksen-Leslie equations

Noel J. Walkington (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

Numerical approximation of the flow of liquid crystals governed by the Ericksen-Leslie equations is considered. Care is taken to develop numerical schemes which inherit the Hamiltonian structure of these equations and associated stability properties. For a large class of material parameters compactness of the discrete solutions is established which guarantees convergence.

On the Numerical Modeling of Deformations of Pressurized Martensitic Thin Films

Pavel Bělík, Timothy Brule, Mitchell Luskin (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We propose, analyze, and compare several numerical methods for the computation of the deformation of a pressurized martensitic thin film. Numerical results have been obtained for the hysteresis of the deformation as the film transforms reversibly from austenite to martensite.

Mathematical and numerical studies of non linear ferromagnetic materials

Patrick Joly, Olivier Vacus (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper we are interested in the numerical modeling of absorbing ferromagnetic materials obeying the non-linear Landau-Lifchitz-Gilbert law with respect to the propagation and scattering of electromagnetic waves. In this work we consider the 1D problem. We first show that the corresponding Cauchy problem has a unique global solution. We then derive a numerical scheme based on an appropriate modification of Yee's scheme, that we show to preserve some important properties of...

Numerical Approximations of the Relative Rearrangement: The piecewise linear case. Application to some Nonlocal Problems

Jean-Michel Rakotoson, Maria Luisa Seoane (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We first prove an abstract result for a class of nonlocal problems using fixed point method. We apply this result to equations revelant from plasma physic problems. These equations contain terms like monotone or relative rearrangement of functions. So, we start the approximation study by using finite element to discretize this nonstandard quantities. We end the paper by giving a numerical resolution of a model containing those terms.
