Solving non-holonomic Lagrangian dynamics in terms of almost product structures.

Manuel de León, David Martín de Diego (1996)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a Lagrangian system with non-holonomic constraints we construct an almost product structure on the tangent bundle of the configuration manifold such that the projection of the Euler-Lagrange vector field gives the dynamics of the system. In a degenerate case, we develop a constraint algorithm which determines a final constraint submanifold where a completely consistent dynamics of the initial system exists.

A remark on the multipliers on spaces of Weak Products of functions

Stefan Richter, Brett D. Wick (2016)

Concrete Operators

Similarity:

If H denotes a Hilbert space of analytic functions on a region Ω ⊆ Cd , then the weak product is defined by [...] We prove that if H is a first order holomorphic Besov Hilbert space on the unit ball of Cd , then the multiplier algebras of H and of H ⊙ H coincide.

Weak Formulations and Solution Multiplicity of Equilibrium Configurations with Coulomb Friction

M. Bostan, P. Hild (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

This work is concerned with the equilibrium configurations of elastic structures in contact with Coulomb friction. We obtain a variational formulation of this equilibrium problem. Then we propose sufficient conditions for the existence of an infinity of equilibrium configurations with arbitrary small friction coefficients. We illustrate the result in two space dimensions with a simple example.

A quasistatic contact problem with unilateral constraint and slip-dependent friction

Arezki Touzaline (2015)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a mathematical model of a quasistatic contact between an elastic body and an obstacle. The contact is modelled with unilateral constraint and normal compliance, associated to a version of Coulomb's law of dry friction where the coefficient of friction depends on the slip displacement. We present a weak formulation of the problem and establish an existence result. The proofs employ a time-discretization method, compactness and lower semicontinuity arguments.

On the differential equations of the classical and relativistic dynamics for certain generalised Lagrangian functions

Antonio Pignedoli (1987)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti

Similarity:

One studies the differential equations of the movement of certain classical and relativistic systems for some special Lagrangian functions. One considers particularly the case in which the problem presents cyclic coordinates. Some electrodynamical applications are studied.

A quasistatic unilateral and frictional contact problem with adhesion for elastic materials

Arezki Touzaline (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a quasistatic contact problem between a linear elastic body and a foundation. The contact is modelled with the Signorini condition and the associated non-local Coulomb friction law in which the adhesion of the contact surfaces is taken into account. The evolution of the bonding field is described by a first order differential equation. We derive a variational formulation of the mechanical problem and prove existence of a weak solution if the friction coefficient is sufficiently...

Lagrangian approach to deriving energy-preserving numerical schemes for the Euler–Lagrange partial differential equations

Takaharu Yaguchi (2013)

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

Similarity:

We propose a Lagrangian approach to deriving energy-preserving finite difference schemes for the Euler–Lagrange partial differential equations. Noether’s theorem states that the symmetry of time translation of Lagrangians yields the energy conservation law. We introduce a unique viewpoint on this theorem: “the symmetry of time translation of Lagrangians derives the Euler–Lagrange equation and the energy conservation law, simultaneously.” The proposed method is a combination of a discrete...
