Sensitivity Analysis of a Nonlinear Obstacle Plate Problem

Isabel N. Figueiredo, Carlos F. Leal (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We analyse the sensitivity of the solution of a nonlinear obstacle plate problem, with respect to small perturbations of the middle plane of the plate. This analysis, which generalizes the results of [9,10] for the linear case, is done by application of an abstract variational result [6], where the sensitivity of parameterized variational inequalities in Banach spaces, without uniqueness of solution, is quantified in terms of a generalized derivative, that is the proto-derivative. We prove that...

Sensitivity analysis of solutions to a class of quasi-variational inequalities

Samir Adly, Mohamed Ait Mansour, Laura Scrimali (2005)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

We provide a sensitivity result for the solutions to the following finite-dimensional quasi-variational inequality Q ⁢ V ⁢ I ⁢ u ∈ K ⁢ u , C ⁢ u , v - u ≥ 0 , ∀ v ∈ K ⁢ u , when both the operator C and the convex K are perturbed. In particular, we prove the Hölder continuity of the solution sets of the problems perturbed around the original problem. All the results may be extended to infinite-dimensional (QVI).

Shape and topological sensitivity analysis in domains with cracks

Alexander Khludnev, Jan Sokołowski, Katarzyna Szulc (2010)

Applications of Mathematics

The framework for shape and topology sensitivity analysis in geometrical domains with cracks is established for elastic bodies in two spatial dimensions. The equilibrium problem for the elastic body with cracks is considered. Inequality type boundary conditions are prescribed at the crack faces providing a non-penetration between the crack faces. Modelling of such problems in two spatial dimensions is presented with all necessary details for further applications in shape optimization in structural...

Shape Hessian for generalized Oseen flow by differentiability of a minimax: A Lagrangian approach

Zhiming Gao, Yichen Ma, Hong Wei Zhuang (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The goal of this paper is to compute the shape Hessian for a generalized Oseen problem with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition by the velocity method. The incompressibility will be treated by penalty approach. The structure of the shape gradient and shape Hessian with respect to the shape of the variable domain for a given cost functional are established by an application of the Lagrangian method with function space embedding technique.

Shape optimization for dynamic contact problems

Andrzej Myśliński (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

The paper deals with shape optimization of dynamic contact problem with Coulomb friction for viscoelastic bodies. The mass nonpenetrability condition is formulated in velocities. The friction coefficient is assumed to be bounded. Using material derivative method as well as the results concerning the regularity of solution to dynamic variational inequality the directional derivative of the cost functional is calculated and the necessary optimality condition is formulated.

Shape optimization of materially non-linear bodies in contact

Jaroslav Haslinger, Raino Mäkinen (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

Optimal shape design problem for a deformable body in contact with a rigid foundation is studied. The body is made from material obeying a nonlinear Hooke’s law. We study the existence of an optimal shape as well as its approximation with the finite element method. Practical realization with nonlinear programming is discussed. A numerical example is included.

Singular perturbation for the Dirichlet boundary control of elliptic problems

Faker Ben Belgacem, Henda El Fekih, Hejer Metoui (2003)

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

A current procedure that takes into account the Dirichlet boundary condition with non-smooth data is to change it into a Robin type condition by introducing a penalization term; a major effect of this procedure is an easy implementation of the boundary condition. In this work, we deal with an optimal control problem where the control variable is the Dirichlet data. We describe the Robin penalization, and we bound the gap between the penalized and the non-penalized boundary controls for the small...
