Mechanical oscillators with dampers defined by implicit constitutive relations

Dalibor Pražák, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We study the vibrations of lumped parameter systems, the spring being defined by the classical linear constitutive relationship between the spring force and the elongation while the dashpot is described by a general implicit relationship between the damping force and the velocity. We prove global existence of solutions for the governing equations, and discuss conditions that the implicit relation satisfies that are sufficient for the uniqueness of solutions. We also present some counterexamples...

Motion with friction of a heavy particle on a manifold - applications to optimization

Alexandre Cabot (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Let Φ : H → R be a C2 function on a real Hilbert space and ∑ ⊂ H x R the manifold defined by ∑ := Graph (Φ). We study the motion of a material point with unit mass, subjected to stay on Σ and which moves under the action of the gravity force (characterized by g>0), the reaction force and the friction force ( γ > 0 is the friction parameter). For any initial conditions at time t=0, we prove the existence of a trajectory x(.) defined on R+. We are then interested in the asymptotic behaviour of...

Motion with friction of a heavy particle on a manifold. Applications to optimization

Alexandre Cabot (2002)

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

Let Φ : H be a 𝒞 2 function on a real Hilbert space and Σ H × the manifold defined by Σ : = Graph ( Φ ) . We study the motion of a material point with unit mass, subjected to stay on Σ and which moves under the action of the gravity force (characterized by g > 0 ), the reaction force and the friction force ( γ > 0 is the friction parameter). For any initial conditions at time t = 0 , we prove the existence of a trajectory x ( . ) defined on + . We are then interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories when t + . More precisely,...
