On the minimum of the work of interaction forces between a pseudoplate and a rigid obstacle

Igor Bock, Ján Lovíšek (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

An optimization problem for the unilateral contact between a pseudoplate and a rigid obstacle is considered. The variable thickness of the pseudoplate plays the role of a control variable. The cost functional is a regular functional only in the smooth case. The existence of an optimal thickness is verified. The penalized optimal control problem is considered in the general case.

On the Newton partially flat minimal resistance body type problems

M. Comte, Jesus Ildefonso Díaz (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study the flat region of stationary points of the functional Ω F ( | u ( x ) | ) d x under the constraint u M , where Ω is a bounded domain in 2 . Here F ( s ) is a function which is concave for s small and convex for s large, and M > 0 is a given constant. The problem generalizes the classical minimal resistance body problems considered by Newton. We construct a family of partially flat radial solutions to the associated stationary problem when Ω is a ball. We also analyze some other qualitative properties. Moreover, we show the...

On the Signorini problem with friction in linear thermoelasticity: The quasi-coupled 2D-case

Jiří Nedoma (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

The Signorini problem with friction in quasi-coupled linear thermo-elasticity (the 2D-case) is discussed. The problem is the model problem in the geodynamics. Using piecewise linear finite elements on the triangulation of the given domain, numerical procedures are proposed. The finite element analysis for the Signorini problem with friction on the contact boundary Γ α of a polygonal domain G R 2 is given. The rate of convergence is proved if the exact solution is sufficiently regular.

On the solution of a finite element approximation of a linear obstacle plate problem

Luis Fernandes, Isabel Figueiredo, Joaquim Júdice (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper the solution of a finite element approximation of a linear obstacle plate problem is investigated. A simple version of an interior point method and a block pivoting algorithm have been proposed for the solution of this problem. Special purpose implementations of these procedures are included and have been used in the solution of a set of test problems. The results of these experiences indicate that these procedures are quite efficient to deal with these instances and compare favourably...

On the Stefan problem with energy specification

Pierluigi Colli (1983)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Vengono trattati due problemi di Stefan con la specificazione dell'energia. Dapprima si fornisce una formulazione debole di un problema unidimensionale ad una fase studiato in [4]: si dimostra un risultato di esistenza. In seguito si considera un problema di Stefan pluridimensionale e multifase in cui viene assegnata l'energia totale del sistema ad ogni istante; si mostra l’esistenza e l’unicità della soluzione per due formulazioni provando inoltre l’equivalenza fra queste.
