Approximation and numerical realization of 3D contact problems with given friction and a coefficient of friction depending on the solution
The paper presents the analysis, approximation and numerical realization of 3D contact problems for an elastic body unilaterally supported by a rigid half space taking into account friction on the common surface. Friction obeys the simplest Tresca model (a slip bound is given a priori) but with a coefficient of friction which depends on a solution. It is shown that a solution exists for a large class of and is unique provided that is Lipschitz continuous with a sufficiently small modulus of...
Approximation and numerical solution of contact problems with friction
The present paper deals with numerical solution of the contact problem with given friction. By a suitable choice of multipliers the whole problem is transformed to that of finding a saddle-point of the Lagrangian function on a certain convex set . The approximation of this saddle-point is defined, the convergence is proved and the rate of convergence established. For the numerical realization Uzawa’s algorithm is used. Some examples are given in the conclusion.

Approximation of a Martensitic Laminate with Varying Volume Fractions
We give results for the approximation of a laminate with varying volume fractions for multi-well energy minimization problems modeling martensitic crystals that can undergo either an orthorhombic to monoclinic or a cubic to tetragonal transformation. We construct energy minimizing sequences of deformations which satisfy the corresponding boundary condition, and we establish a series of error bounds in terms of the elastic energy for the approximation of the limiting macroscopic deformation and...
Approximation of a nonlinear thermoelastic problem with a moving boundary via a fixed-domain method
The thermoelastic stresses created in a solid phase domain in the course of solidification of a molten ingot are investigated. A nonlinear behaviour of the solid phase is admitted, too. This problem, obtained from a real situation by many simplifications, contains a moving boundary between the solid and the liquid phase domains. To make the usage of standard numerical packages possible, we propose here a fixed-domain approximation by means of including the liquid phase domain into the problem (in...

Approximation of General Arch Problems by Straight Beam Elements
Approximation of the arch problem by residual-free bubbles
We consider a general loaded arch problem with a small thickness. To approximate the solution of this problem, a conforming mixed finite element method which takes into account an approximation of the middle line of the arch is given. But for a very small thickness such a method gives poor error bounds. the conforming Galerkin method is then enriched with residual-free bubble functions.

Approximation of the vibration modes of a plate coupled with a fluid by low-order isoparametric finite elements
We analyze an isoparametric finite element method to compute the vibration modes of a plate, modeled by Reissner-Mindlin equations, in contact with a compressible fluid, described in terms of displacement variables. To avoid locking in the plate, we consider a low-order method of the so called MITC (Mixed Interpolation of Tensorial Component) family on quadrilateral meshes. To avoid spurious modes in the fluid, we use a low-order hexahedral Raviart-Thomas elements and a non conforming coupling is...
