Regularization of noncoercive constraints in Hencky plasticity

Jarosław L. Bojarski (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to find the largest lower semicontinuous minorant of the elastic-plastic energy of a body with fissures. The functional of energy considered is not coercive.

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....

General method of regularization. I: Functionals defined on BD space

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) is the lower semicontinuous regularization of the plastic energy. We find the integral representation of a non-locally coercive functional. In part II, we will show that the set of solutions of the relaxed problem is equal to the set of solutions of the relaxed problem proposed by Suquet. Moreover, we will prove the existence theorem for the limit analysis...

Energy methods for curved composite beams with partial shear interaction

István Ecsedi, Ákos József Lengyel (2015)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

This paper presents a derivation of the Rayleigh- Betti reciprocity relation for layered curved composite beams with interlayer slip. The principle of minimum of potential energy is also formulated for two-layer curved composite beams and its applications are illustrated by numerical examples. The solution of the presented problems are obtained by the Ritz method. The applications of the Rayleigh-Betti reciprocity relation proven are illustrated by some examples.

Extremum theorems for finite-step back-ward-difference analysis of elastic-plastic nonlinearly hardening solids

Giulio Maier, Giorgio Novati (1988)

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

Similarity:

For the finite-step, backward-difference analysis of elastic-plastic solids in small strains, a kinematic (potential energy) and a static (complementary energy) extremum property of the step solution are given under the following hypotheses: each yield function is the sum of an equivalent stress and a yield limit; the former is a positively homogeneous function of order one of stresses, the latter a nonlinear function of nondecreasing internal variables; suitable conditions of "material...

On the stability of multipolar elastic materials.

N. S. Wilkes (1979)

Stochastica

Similarity:

In 1964, Green and Rivlin [1, 2] proposed two non-standard theories of continua. Both papers concerned non-simple materials: the first considered deformation gradients of higher order than the first as dependent variables; and the second, which generalised the first, treated materials whose kinematic state was not completely detemined by the deformation function, but was also dependent upon some multipolar deformation functions. In both theories the existence of higher order stresses...

Ground states in complex bodies

Paolo Maria Mariano, Giuseppe Modica (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

A unified framework for analyzing the existence of ground states in wide classes of elastic complex bodies is presented here. The approach makes use of classical semicontinuity results, Sobolev mappings and cartesian currents. Weak diffeomorphisms are used to represent macroscopic deformations. Sobolev maps and cartesian currents describe the inner substructure of the material elements. Balance equations for irregular minimizers are derived. A contribution to the debate about the role...
