Material constraints in continuum mechanics

Stuart S. Antman (1981)

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

Similarity:

Si dimostra che ci sono valide ragioni per considerare la teoria standard dei vincoli interni, nella meccanica dei continui, insufficientemente generale. In particolare, con l’unica eccezione dell’iperelasticità, l’extra-stress dovrebbe dipendere anche dai moltiplicatori di Lagrange, cioè, dallo stress che non effettua lavoro (virtuale).

A three dimensional finite element method for biological active soft tissue

Christian Bourdarias, Stéphane Gerbi, Jacques Ohayon (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

A hyperelastic constitutive law, for use in anatomically accurate finite element models of living structures, is suggested for the passive and the active mechanical properties of incompressible biological tissues. This law considers the passive and active states as a same hyperelastic continuum medium, and uses an activation function in order to describe the whole contraction phase. The variational and the FE formulations are also presented, and the FE code has been validated and applied...

Induced open projections and C*-smoothness

Włodzimierz J. Charatonik, Alejandro Illanes, Verónica Martínez-de-la-Vega (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that there exists a C*-smooth continuum X such that for every continuum Y the induced map C(f) is not open, where f: X × Y → X is the projection. This answers a question of Charatonik (2000).

Non-separating subcontinua of planar continua

D. Daniel, C. Islas, R. Leonel, E. D. Tymchatyn (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We revisit an old question of Knaster by demonstrating that each non-degenerate plane hereditarily unicoherent continuum X contains a proper, non-degenerate subcontinuum which does not separate X.

1/2-Homogeneous hyperspace suspensions

Sergio Macías, Patricia Pellicer-Covarrubias (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We continue the study of 1/2-homogeneity of the hyperspace suspension of continua. We prove that if X is a decomposable continuum and its hyperspace suspension is 1/2-homogeneous, then X must be continuum chainable. We also characterize 1/2-homogeneity of the hyperspace suspension for several classes of continua, including: continua containing a free arc, atriodic and decomposable continua, and decomposable irreducible continua about a finite set.

ω-Limit sets for triangular mappings

Victor Jiménez López, Jaroslav Smítal (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In 1992 Agronsky and Ceder proved that any finite collection of non-degenerate Peano continua in the unit square is an ω-limit set for a continuous map. We improve this result by showing that it is valid, with natural restrictions, for the triangular maps (x,y) ↦ (f(x),g(x,y)) of the square. For example, we show that a non-trivial Peano continuum C ⊂ I² is an orbit-enclosing ω-limit set of a triangular map if and only if it has a projection property. If C is a finite union of Peano continua...
