Blow-up of the solution to the initial-value problem in nonlinear three-dimensional hyperelasticity

J. A. Gawinecki, P. Kacprzyk (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider the initial value problem for the nonlinear partial differential equations describing the motion of an inhomogeneous and anisotropic hyperelastic medium. We assume that the stored energy function of the hyperelastic material is a function of the point x and the nonlinear Green-St. Venant strain tensor e j k . Moreover, we assume that the stored energy function is C with respect to x and e j k . In our description we assume that Piola-Kirchhoff’s stress tensor p j k depends on the tensor e j k . This means...

Blow-up of weak solutions for the semilinear wave equations with nonlinear boundary and interior sources and damping

Lorena Bociu, Irena Lasiecka (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We focus on the blow-up in finite time of weak solutions to the wave equation with interior and boundary nonlinear sources and dissipations. Our central interest is the relationship of the sources and damping terms to the behavior of solutions. We prove that under specific conditions relating the sources and the dissipations (namely p > m and k > m), weak solutions blow up in finite time.
