Thick obstacle problems with dynamic adhesive contact

Jeongho Ahn (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this work, we consider dynamic frictionless contact with adhesion between a viscoelastic body of the type and a stationary rigid obstacle, based on the Signorini's contact conditions. Including the adhesion processes modeled by the bonding field, a new version of energy function is defined. We use the energy function to derive a new form of energy balance which is supported by numerical results. Employing the time-discretization, we establish a numerical formulation and investigate...

Gravitational collapse of a Brownian gas

Clément Sire, Pierre-Henri Chavanis (2004)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We investigate a model describing the dynamics of a gas of self-gravitating Brownian particles. This model can also have applications for the chemotaxis of bacterial populations. We focus here on the collapse phase obtained at sufficiently low temperature/energy and on the post-collapse regime following the singular time where the central density diverges. Several analytical results are illustrated by numerical simulations.

Numerical analysis of a relaxed variational model of hysteresis in two-phase solids

Carsten Carstensen, Petr Plecháč (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

This paper presents the numerical analysis for a variational formulation of rate-independent phase transformations in elastic solids due to Mielke et al. The new model itself suggests an implicit time-discretization which is combined with the finite element method in space. A priori error estimates are established for the quasioptimal spatial approximation of the stress field within one time-step. A posteriori error estimates motivate an adaptive mesh-refining algorithm...

Numerical analysis and simulations of quasistatic frictionless contact problems

José Fernández García, Weimin Han, Meir Shillor, Mircea Sofonea (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A summary of recent results concerning the modelling as well as the variational and numerical analysis of frictionless contact problems for viscoplastic materials are presented. The contact is modelled with the Signorini or normal compliance conditions. Error estimates for the fully discrete numerical scheme are described, and numerical simulations based on these schemes are reported.
