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...

Unconditionally stable mid-point time integration in elastic-plastic dynamics

Alberto Corigliano, Umberto Perego (1990)

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

Similarity:

The dynamic analysis of elastoplastic systems discretized by finite elements is dealt with. The material behaviour is described by a rather general internal variable model. The unknown fields are modelled in terms of suitable variables, generalized in Prager's sense. Time integrations are carried out by means of a generalized mid-point rule. The resulting nonlinear equations expressing dynamic equilibrium of the finite step problem are solved by means of a Newton-Raphson iterative scheme....

Betti's reciprocal theorem for Cosserat elastic shells

Franco Pastrone (1991)

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

Similarity:

It is proved that, as in three-dimensional elasticity, Betti's theorem represents a criterion for the existence of a stored-energy function for a Cosserat elastic shell.

Effects of In-plane Elastic Stress and Normal External Stress on Viscoelastic Thin Film Stability

F. Closa, F. Ziebert, E. Raphaël (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Motivated by recent experiments on the electro-hydrodynamic instability of spin-cast polymer films, we study the undulation instability of a thin viscoelastic polymer film under in-plane stress and in the presence of either a close by contactor or an electric field, both inducing a normal stress on the film surface. We find that the in-plane stress affects both the typical timescale of the instability and the unstable wavelengths. The ...

A Nonlocal Problem Arising in the Study of Magneto-Elastic Interactions

M. Chipot, I. Shafrir, G. Vergara Caffarelli (2008)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

The energy of magneto-elastic materials is described by a nonconvex functional. Three terms of the total free energy are taken into account: the exchange energy, the elastic energy and the magneto-elastic energy usually adopted for cubic crystals. We focus our attention to a one dimensional penalty problem and study the gradient flow of the associated type Ginzburg-Landau functional. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a classical solution which tends asymptotically for subsequences...

Some qualitative results for the linear theory of binary mixtures of thermoelastic solids.

F. Martínez, R. Quintanilla (1995)

Collectanea Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we study the linear thermodynamical problem of mixtures of thermoelastic solids. We use some results of the semigroup theory to obtain an existence theorem for the initial value problem with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Continuous dependence of solutions upon the initial data and body forces is also established. We finish with a study of the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the homogeneous problem.
