Spatial heterogeneity in 3D-2D dimensional reduction

Jean-François Babadjian, Gilles A. Francfort (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

A justification of heterogeneous membrane models as zero-thickness limits of a cylindral three-dimensional heterogeneous nonlinear hyperelastic body is proposed in the spirit of Le Dret (1995). Specific characterizations of the 2D elastic energy are produced. As a generalization of Bouchitté (2002), the case where external loads induce a density of bending moment that produces a Cosserat vector field is also investigated. Throughout, the 3D-2D dimensional reduction is viewed as a problem...

Linearized plastic plate models as Γ-limits of 3D finite elastoplasticity

Elisa Davoli (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The subject of this paper is the rigorous derivation of reduced models for a thin plate by means of -convergence, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by the thickness of the plate, we analyse the case where the scaling factor of the elasto-plastic energy per unit volume is of order , with ≥ 3. According to the value of , partially or fully linearized models are deduced, which correspond, in the absence of plastic deformation, to the Von Kármán plate theory...

A Variational Problem Modelling Behavior of Unorthodox Silicon Crystals

J. Hannon, M. Marcus, Victor J. Mizel (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Controlling growth at crystalline surfaces requires a detailed and quantitative understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters governing mass transport. Many of these parameters can be determined by analyzing the isothermal wandering of steps at a vicinal [“step-terrace”] type surface [for a recent review see [4]]. In the case of crystals one finds that these meanderings develop larger amplitudes as the equilibrium temperature is raised (as is consistent with the statistical...

Existence and uniqueness of solutions to dynamical unilateral contact problems with coulomb friction: the case of a collection of points

Alexandre Charles, Patrick Ballard (2014)

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

Similarity:

This study deals with the existence and uniqueness of solutions to dynamical problems of finite freedom involving unilateral contact and Coulomb friction. In the frictionless case, it has been established [P. Ballard, 154 (2000) 199–274] that the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the Cauchy problem can be proved under the assumption that the data are analytic, but not if they are assumed to be only of class . Some years ago, this finding was extended [P. Ballard...

On a model of rotating superfluids

Sylvia Serfaty (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider an energy-functional describing rotating superfluids at a rotating velocity , and prove similar results as for the Ginzburg-Landau functional of superconductivity: mainly the existence of branches of solutions with vortices, the existence of a critical above which energy-minimizers have vortices, evaluations of the minimal energy as a function of , and the derivation of a limiting free-boundary problem.

An asymptotically optimal model for isotropic heterogeneous linearly elastic plates

Ferdinando Auricchio, Carlo Lovadina, Alexandre L. Madureira (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper, we derive and analyze a Reissner-Mindlin-like model for isotropic heterogeneous linearly elastic plates. The modeling procedure is based on a Hellinger-Reissner principle, which we modify to derive consistent models. Due to the material heterogeneity, the classical polynomial profiles for the plate shear stress are replaced by more sophisticated choices, that are asymptotically correct. In the homogeneous case we recover a Reissner-Mindlin model with as shear...

Inverse modelling of image-based patient-specific blood vessels: zero-pressure geometry and in vivo stress incorporation

Joris Bols, Joris Degroote, Bram Trachet, Benedict Verhegghe, Patrick Segers, Jan Vierendeels (2013)

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

Similarity:

visualization of cardiovascular structures is possible using medical images. However, one has to realize that the resulting 3D geometries correspond to conditions. This entails an internal stress state to be present in the measured geometry of a blood vessel due to the presence of the blood pressure. In order to correct for this stress, this paper presents an inverse method to restore the original zero-pressure geometry of a structure, and to recover the...

Two shallow-water type models for viscoelastic flows from kinetic theory for polymers solutions

Gladys Narbona-Reina, Didier Bresch (2013)

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

Similarity:

In this work, depending on the relation between the Deborah, the Reynolds and the aspect ratio numbers, we formally derived shallow-water type systems starting from a micro-macro description for non-Newtonian fluids in a thin domain governed by an elastic dumbbell type model with a slip boundary condition at the bottom. The result has been announced by the authors in [G. Narbona-Reina, D. Bresch, Springer Verlag (2010)] and in the present paper, we provide a self-contained description,...

A priori error analysis of a fully-mixed finite element method for a two-dimensional fluid-solid interaction problem

Carolina Domínguez, Gabriel N. Gatica, Salim Meddahi, Ricardo Oyarzúa (2013)

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

Similarity:

We introduce and analyze a fully-mixed finite element method for a fluid-solid interaction problem in 2D. The model consists of an elastic body which is subject to a given incident wave that travels in the fluid surrounding it. Actually, the fluid is supposed to occupy an annular region, and hence a Robin boundary condition imitating the behavior of the scattered field at infinity is imposed on its exterior boundary, which is located far from the obstacle. The media are governed by the...
