Bounds and estimates on the effective properties for nonlinear composites

Peter Wall (2000)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we derive lower bounds and upper bounds on the effective properties for nonlinear heterogeneous systems. The key result to obtain these bounds is to derive a variational principle, which generalizes the variational principle by P. Ponte Castaneda from 1992. In general, when the Ponte Castaneda variational principle is used one only gets either a lower or an upper bound depending on the growth conditions. In this paper we overcome this problem by using our new variational...

Bounds and numerical results for homogenized degenerated p -Poisson equations

Johan Byström, Jonas Engström, Peter Wall (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we derive upper and lower bounds on the homogenized energy density functional corresponding to degenerated p -Poisson equations. Moreover, we give some non-trivial examples where the bounds are tight and thus can be used as good approximations of the homogenized properties. We even present some cases where the bounds coincide and also compare them with some numerical results.

A comparison of homogenization, Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and the Halpin-Tsai equations

Peter Wall (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we study a unidirectional and elastic fiber composite. We use the homogenization method to obtain numerical results of the plane strain bulk modulus and the transverse shear modulus. The results are compared with the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and are found to be close to the lower bounds in both cases. This indicates that the lower bounds might be used as a first approximation of the plane strain bulk modulus and the transverse shear modulus. We also point out the connection...

Generalized Variational Inequalities for Upper Hemicontinuous and Demi Operators with Applications to Fixed Point Theorems in Hilbert Spaces

Chowdhury, Mohammad (1998)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

∗ The final version of this paper was sent to the editor when the author was supported by an ARC Small Grant of Dr. E. Tarafdar. Existence theorems of generalized variational inequalities and generalized complementarity problems are obtained in topological vector spaces for demi operators which are upper hemicontinuous along line segments in a convex set X. Fixed point theorems are also given in Hilbert spaces for set-valued operators T which are upper hemicontinuous along line...

Characterizations of error bounds for lower semicontinuous functions on metric spaces

Dominique Azé, Jean-Noël Corvellec (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Refining the variational method introduced in Azé et al. [Nonlinear Anal. 49 (2002) 643-670], we give characterizations of the existence of so-called global and local error bounds, for lower semicontinuous functions defined on complete metric spaces. We thus provide a systematic and synthetic approach to the subject, emphasizing the special case of convex functions defined on arbitrary Banach spaces (refining the abstract part of Azé and Corvellec [SIAM J. Optim. 12 (2002) 913-927],...
