The main goal of the paper is to give a variational formulation of the behaviour of bolt systems in rock mass. The problem arises in geomechanics where bolt systems are applied to reinforce underground openings by inserting steel bars or cables. After giving a variational formulation, we prove the existence and uniqueness and some other properties.
The main goal of the paper is to describe a reinforcement consisting of fully grouted bolts, which is applied to stabilizing underground openings and tunnels. After a variational formulation is given, the existence and uniqueness is proved. Some asymptotic results that make it possible to replace the real system with a continuous one more suitable for discretization are presented. Some other types of reinforcements and properties are studied.
We consider a quasilinear elliptic eigenvalue problem with a discontinuous right hand side. To be able to have an existence theory, we pass to a multivalued problem (elliptic inclusion). Using a variational approach based on the critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functions, we show that we have at least three nontrivial solutions when from the left, being the principal eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian with the Dirichlet boundary conditions.
We discuss the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of second order quasilinear equations. To obtain our results we will use the Ekeland variational principle and the Mountain Pass Theorem.
A new variational principle and duality for the problem Lu = ∇G(u) are provided, where L is a positive definite and selfadjoint operator and ∇G is a continuous gradient mapping such that G satisfies superquadratic growth conditions. The results obtained may be applied to Dirichlet problems for both ordinary and partial differential equations.
We discuss the solvability of a nonhomogeneous boundary value problem for the semilinear equation of the vibrating string in a bounded domain and with a certain type of superlinear nonlinearity. To this end we derive a new dual variational method.
We investigate some nonlinear elliptic problems of the form
where is a regular bounded domain in , , a positive function in , and the nonlinearity is indefinite. We prove the existence of solutions to the problem (P) when the function is asymptotically linear at infinity by using variational method but without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Also, we consider the case when the nonlinearities are superlinear and subcritical.
In this paper we study the existence of minimizer for certain constrained variational problems given by functionals with nonlocal terms. This type of functionals are first integrals of evolution equations describing long wave propagation and the existence of minimizer gives the existence and the stability of traveling waves for these equations.
Due to loss of compactness, the major problem is to prevent dichotomy of minimizing sequences. Our approach is an alternative to the concentration-compactness...
Using a version of the Local Linking Theorem and the Fountain Theorem, we obtain some existence and multiplicity results for a class of superquadratic elliptic equations.
