Numerical analysis of a frictionless viscoelastic piezoelectric contact problem

Similarity:

In this work, we consider the quasistatic frictionless contact problem between a viscoelastic piezoelectric body and a deformable obstacle. The linear electro-viscoelastic constitutive law is employed to model the piezoelectric material and the normal compliance condition is used to model the contact. The variational formulation is derived in a form of a coupled system for the displacement and electric potential fields. An existence and uniqueness result is recalled. Then, a fully discrete...

Signorini problem with a solution dependent coefficient of friction (model with given friction): Approximation and numerical realization

Jaroslav Haslinger, Oldřich Vlach (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Contact problems with given friction and the coefficient of friction depending on their solutions are studied. We prove the existence of at least one solution; uniqueness is obtained under additional assumptions on the coefficient of friction. The method of successive approximations combined with the dual formulation of each iterative step is used for numerical realization. Numerical results of model examples are shown.

Dynamic frictional contact of a viscoelastic beam

Marco Campo, José R. Fernández, Georgios E. Stavroulakis, Juan M. Viaño (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper, we study the dynamic frictional contact of a viscoelastic beam with a deformable obstacle. The beam is assumed to be situated horizontally and to move, in both horizontal and tangential directions, by the effect of applied forces. The left end of the beam is clamped and the right one is free. Its horizontal displacement is constrained because of the presence of a deformable obstacle, the so-called foundation, which is modelled by a normal compliance contact condition. The...

Vibrations of a beam between obstacles. Convergence of a fully discretized approximation

Yves Dumont, Laetitia Paoli (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We consider mathematical models describing dynamics of an elastic beam which is clamped at its left end to a vibrating support and which can move freely at its right end between two rigid obstacles. We model the contact with Signorini's complementary conditions between the displacement and the shear stress. For this infinite dimensional contact problem, we propose a family of fully discretized approximations and their convergence is proved. Moreover some examples of implementation are...
