On an interaction of two elastic bodies: analysis and algorithms
The paper deals with existence and uniqueness results and with the numerical solution of the nonsmooth variational problem describing a deflection of a thin annular plate with Neumann boundary conditions. Various types of the subsoil and the obstacle which influence the plate deformation are considered. Numerical experiments compare two different algorithms.
On an unconventional variational method for solving the problem of linear elasticity with Neumann or periodic boundary conditions
A new variational formulation of the linear elasticity problem with Neumann or periodic boundary conditions is presented. This formulation does not require any quotient spaces and is advisable for finite element approximations.

On general boundary value problems and duality in linear elasticity. II
The present part of the paper completes the discussion in Part I in two directions. Firstly, in Section 5 a number of existence theorems for a solution to Problem III (principle of minimum potential energy) is established. Secondly, Section 6 and 7 are devoted to a discussion of both the classical and the abstract approach to the duality theory as well as the relationship between the solvability of Problem III and its dual one.
On general boundary value problems and duality in linear elasticity. I
The equilibrium state of a deformable body under the action of body forces is described by the well known conditions of equilibrium, the straindisplacement relations, the constitutive law of the linear theory and the boundary conditions. The authors discuss in detail the boundary conditions. The starting point is the general relation between the vectors of stress and displacement on the boundary which can be expressed in terms of a subgradient relation. It is shown that this relation includes as...

On Ishlinskij's model for non-perfectly elastic bodies
The main goal of the paper is to formulate some new properties of the Ishlinskii hysteresis operator , which characterizes e.g. the relation between the deformation and the stress in a non-perfectly elastic (elastico-plastic) material. We introduce two energy functionals and derive the energy inequalities. As an example we investigate the equation describing the motion of a mass point at the extremity of an elastico-plastic spring.
On numerical solution of weight minimization of elastic bodies weakly supporting tension
Shape optimization of a two-dimensional elastic body is considered, provided the material is weakly supporting tension. The problem generalizes that of a masonry dam subjected to its weight and to the hydrostatic pressure. A part of the boundary has to be found so as to minimize a given cost functional. The numerical realization using a penalty method and finite element technique is presented. Some typical results are shown.

On the analysis of elastic layers by a Fourier series, Green's function approach
The plane strain elastic analysis of a homogeneous and isotropic layer of constant thickness, is formulated using Fourier series expansions in the direction parallel to the layer and suitable Green's functions in the transversal direction. For each frequency the unknown distributions of the Fourier coefficients relevant to the symmetric or skew-symmetric problems are governed by one-dimensional equations which can be solved exactly. The proposed method is used to critically discuss the "transfer"...

On the domain of influence in thermoelasticity of bodies with voids
The domain of influence, proposed by Cowin and Nunziato, is extended to cover the thermoelasticity of bodies with voids. We prove that for a finite time the displacement field , the temperature and the change in volume fraction generate no disturbance outside a bounded domain .

On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. II. Mixed boundary conditions
A control of the system of Kármán's equations for a thin elastic plate is considered. Existence of an optimal transversal load and optimal stress function, respectively, is proven. The set of admissible functions is chosen in a way guaranteeing the unique solvability of the state problem. The differentiability of the state function with respect to the control variable, uniqueness of the optimal control and some necessary conditions of optimality are discussed.
On the regularity of solutions of a thermoelastic system under noncontinuous heating regimes
The continuity and boundedness of the stress to the solution of the thermoelastic system is studied first for the linear case on a strip and then for the twodimensional model involving nonlinearities, noncontinuous heating regimes and isolated boundary nonsmoothnesses of the heated body.
