The problem of dynamic cavitation in nonlinear elasticity

Jan Giesselmann, Alexey Miroshnikov, Athanasios E. Tzavaras (2012/2013)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

The notion of singular limiting induced from continuum solutions (slic-solutions) is applied to the problem of cavitation in nonlinear elasticity, in order to re-assess an example of non-uniqueness of entropic weak solutions (with polyconvex energy) due to a forming cavity.

The relaxation of the Signorini problem for polyconvex functionals with linear growth at infinity

Jarosław L. Bojarski (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The aim of this paper is to study the unilateral contact condition (Signorini problem) for polyconvex functionals with linear growth at infinity. We find the lower semicontinuous relaxation of the original functional (defined over a subset of the space of bounded variations BV(Ω)) and we prove the existence theorem. Moreover, we discuss the Winkler unilateral contact condition. As an application, we show a few examples of elastic-plastic potentials for finite displacements.
