Degenerating Cahn-Hilliard systems coupled with mechanical effects and complete damage processes
This paper addresses analytical investigations of degenerating PDE systems for phase separation and damage processes considered on nonsmooth time-dependent domains with mixed boundary conditions for the displacement field. The evolution of the system is described by a degenerating Cahn-Hilliard equation for the concentration, a doubly nonlinear differential inclusion for the damage variable and a quasi-static balance equation for the displacement field. The analysis is performed on a time-dependent...
Dependence of the equilibrium states of a two-phase elastic medium on temperature for a positive constant of surface tension.
Determination of the initial stress tensor from deformation of underground opening in excavation process
A method for the detection of the initial stress tensor is proposed. The method is based on measuring distances between pairs of points located on the wall of underground opening in the excavation process. This methods is based on solving twelve auxiliary problems in the theory of elasticity with force boundary conditions, which is done using the least squares method. The optimal location of the pairs of points on the wall of underground openings is studied. The pairs must be located so that the...
Determination of the Thickness and Composition Profiles for a Film of Binary Mixture on a Solid Substrate
We determine the steady-state structures that result from liquid-liquid demixing in a free surface film of binary liquid on a solid substrate. The considered model corresponds to the static limit of the diffuse interface theory describing the phase separation process for a binary liquid (model-H), when supplemented by boundary conditions at the free surface and taking the influence of the solid substrate into account. The resulting variational problem...
Development of three dimensional constitutive theories based on lower dimensional experimental data
Most three dimensional constitutive relations that have been developed to describe the behavior of bodies are correlated against one dimensional and two dimensional experiments. What is usually lost sight of is the fact that infinity of such three dimensional models may be able to explain these experiments that are lower dimensional. Recently, the notion of maximization of the rate of entropy production has been used to obtain constitutive relations based on the choice of the stored energy and rate...
Dislocation dynamics - analytical description of the interaction force between dipolar loops
The interaction between dislocation dipolar loops plays an important role in the computation of the dislocation dynamics. The analytical form of the interaction force between two loops derived in the present paper from Kroupa’s formula of the stress field generated by a single dipolar loop allows for faster computation.

Driver's influence on kinematics of articulated bus rear axle
This paper studies kinematic properties of the rear axle of the particle coach as function of driver’s activity. The main goals are the prediction of the trajectory, the computation of the vector of velocity of each wheel of the rear axle as a function of the real velocity vector of the front coach axle and the real curvature of the bus trajectory. The computer algebra system MAPLE was used for all necessary computations.
Dual finite element analysis for contact problem of elastic bodies with an enlarging contact zone
Dual finite element analysis of the contact problem of two elastic bodies with an enlarging contact zone is presented. Approximations of the solution are defined on two types of triangulations by piecewise constant stress fields. Convergence is proved in both cases.
