Mechanical oscillators described by a system of differential-algebraic equations

Dalibor Pražák, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

The classical framework for studying the equations governing the motion of lumped parameter systems presumes one can provide expressions for the forces in terms of kinematical quantities for the individual constituents. This is not possible for a very large class of problems where one can only provide implicit relations between the forces and the kinematical quantities. In certain special cases, one can provide non-invertible expressions for a kinematical quantity in terms of the force, which then...

Motion of spirals by crystalline curvature

Hitoshi Imai, Naoyuki Ishimura, TaKeo Ushijima (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Modern physics theories claim that the dynamics of interfaces between the two-phase is described by the evolution equations involving the curvature and various kinematic energies. We consider the motion of spiral-shaped polygonal curves by its crystalline curvature, which deserves a mathematical model of real crystals. Exploiting the comparison principle, we show the local existence and uniqueness of the solution.

Motion with friction of a heavy particle on a manifold - applications to optimization

Alexandre Cabot (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Let Φ : H → R be a C2 function on a real Hilbert space and ∑ ⊂ H x R the manifold defined by ∑ := Graph (Φ). We study the motion of a material point with unit mass, subjected to stay on Σ and which moves under the action of the gravity force (characterized by g>0), the reaction force and the friction force ( γ > 0 is the friction parameter). For any initial conditions at time t=0, we prove the existence of a trajectory x(.) defined on R+. We are then interested in the asymptotic behaviour of...

Motion with friction of a heavy particle on a manifold. Applications to optimization

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

Let Φ : H be a 𝒞 2 function on a real Hilbert space and Σ H × the manifold defined by Σ : = Graph ( Φ ) . We study the motion of a material point with unit mass, subjected to stay on Σ and which moves under the action of the gravity force (characterized by g > 0 ), the reaction force and the friction force ( γ > 0 is the friction parameter). For any initial conditions at time t = 0 , we prove the existence of a trajectory x ( . ) defined on + . We are then interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories when t + . More precisely,...
