The purpose of this work is to study the class of non-negative continuous weak solutions of the non-linear evolution equation ∂u/∂t = ∆φ(u),   x ∈ Rn, 0 < t < T ≤ +∞.

A frictionless contact problem for elastic-viscoplastic materials with internal state variable

Lynda Selmani (2013)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study a mathematical model for frictionless contact between an elastic-viscoplastic body and a foundation. We model the material with a general elastic-viscoplastic constitutive law with internal state variable and the contact with a normal compliance condition. We derive a variational formulation of the model. We establish existence and uniqueness of a weak solution, using general results on first order nonlinear evolution equations with monotone operators and fixed point arguments....

Measure-valued solutions of a heterogeneous Cahn-Hilliard system in elastic solids

Irena Pawłow, Wojciech M. Zajączkowski (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

The paper is concerned with the existence of measure-valued solutions to the Cahn-Hilliard system coupled with elasticity. The system under consideration is anisotropic and heterogeneous in the sense of admitting the elasticity and gradient energy tensors dependent on the order parameter. Such dependences introduce additional nonlinearities to the model for which the existence of weak solutions is not known so far.

Mechanical oscillators with dampers defined by implicit constitutive relations

Dalibor Pražák, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We study the vibrations of lumped parameter systems, the spring being defined by the classical linear constitutive relationship between the spring force and the elongation while the dashpot is described by a general implicit relationship between the damping force and the velocity. We prove global existence of solutions for the governing equations, and discuss conditions that the implicit relation satisfies that are sufficient for the uniqueness of solutions. We also present some counterexamples...

General method of regularization. III: The unilateral contact problem

Jarosław L. Bojarski (2004)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to prove that the relaxation of the elastic-perfectly plastic energy (of a solid made of a Hencky material with the Signorini constraints on the boundary) is the weak* lower semicontinuous regularization of the plastic energy. We consider an elastic-plastic solid endowed with the von Mises (or Tresca) yield condition. Moreover, we show that the set of solutions of the relaxed problem is equal to the set of solutions of the relaxed problem proposed by Suquet....

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.

Global existence of weak solutions to the Fried-Gurtin model of phase transitions

Zenon Kosowski (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove the existence of global in time weak solutions to a three-dimensional system of equations arising in a simple version of the Fried-Gurtin model for the isothermal phase transition in solids. In this model the phase is characterized by an order parameter. The problem considered here has the form of a coupled system of three-dimensional elasticity and parabolic equations. The system is studied with the help of the Faedo-Galerkin method using energy estimates.

Contact between elastic bodies. I. Continuous problems

Jaroslav Haslinger, Ivan Hlaváček (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

Problems of a unilateral contact between bounded bodies without friction are considered within the range of two-dimensional linear elastostatics. Two classes of problems are distinguished: those with a bounded contact zone and with an enlargign contact zone. Both classes can be formulated in terms of displacements by means of a variational inequality. The proofs of existence of a solution are presented and the uniqueness discussed.

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...
