Noncoercive hemivariational inequality and its applications in nonconvex unilateral mechanics

Daniel Goeleven (1996)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper is devoted to the study of a class of hemivariational inequalities which was introduced by P. D. Panagiotopoulos [31] and later by Z. Naniewicz [22]. These variational formulations are natural nonconvex generalizations [15–17], [22–33] of the well-known variational inequalities. Several existence results are proved in [15]. In this paper, we are concerned with some related results and several applications.

Nonlinear Variational Inequalities Depending on a Parameter

Goeleven, D., Théra, M. (1995)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

This paper develops the results announced in the Note [14]. Using an eigenvalue problem governed by a variational inequality, we try to unify the theory concerning the post-critical equilibrium state of a thin elastic plate subjected to unilateral conditions.

Non-smooth variational bifurcation

Marco Degiovanni, Antonio Marino (1987)

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

We consider bifurcation problems associated with some lower semicontinuous functionals that do not satisfy the usual regularity assumptions. For such functionals it is possible to define a generalized "Hessian form" and to show that certain eigenvalues of this one are bifurcation values. The results are applied to a bifurcation problem for elliptic variational inequalities.

Numerical analysis for optimal shape design in elliptic boundary value problems

Zdeněk Kestřánek (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

Shape optimization problems are optimal design problems in which the shape of the boundary plays the role of a design, i.e. the unknown part of the problem. Such problems arise in structural mechanics, acoustics, electrostatics, fluid flow and other areas of engineering and applied science. The mathematical theory of such kind of problems has been developed during the last twelve years. Recently the theory has been extended to cover also situations in which the behaviour of the system is governed...

Numerical approaches to rate-independent processes and applications in inelasticity

Alexander Mielke, Tomáš Roubíček (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

A conceptual numerical strategy for rate-independent processes in the energetic formulation is proposed and its convergence is proved under various rather mild data qualifications. The novelty is that we obtain convergence of subsequences of space-time discretizations even in case where the limit problem does not have a unique solution and we need no additional assumptions on higher regularity of the limit solution. The variety of general perspectives thus obtained is illustrated on several...
