Multiscale expansion and numerical approximation for surface defects⋆

V. Bonnaillie-Noël, D. Brancherie, M. Dambrine, F. Hérau, S. Tordeux, G. Vial (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This paper is a survey of articles [5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 17, 18]. We are interested in the influence of small geometrical perturbations on the solution of elliptic problems. The cases of a single inclusion or several well-separated inclusions have been deeply studied. We recall here techniques to construct an asymptotic expansion. Then we consider moderately close inclusions, i.e. the distance between the inclusions tends to zero more slowly than their characteristic size. We provide a complete asymptotic...

Multiscale finite element coarse spaces for the application to linear elasticity

Marco Buck, Oleg Iliev, Heiko Andrä (2013)

Open Mathematics

We extend the multiscale finite element method (MsFEM) as formulated by Hou and Wu in [Hou T.Y., Wu X.-H., A multiscale finite element method for elliptic problems in composite materials and porous media, J. Comput. Phys., 1997, 134(1), 169–189] to the PDE system of linear elasticity. The application, motivated by the multiscale analysis of highly heterogeneous composite materials, is twofold. Resolving the heterogeneities on the finest scale, we utilize the linear MsFEM basis for the construction...

Neumann problem for one-dimensional nonlinear thermoelasticity

Yoshihiro Shibata (1992)

Banach Center Publications

The global existence theorem of classical solutions for one-dimensional nonlinear thermoelasticity is proved for small and smooth initial data in the case of a bounded reference configuration for a homogeneous medium, considering the Neumann type boundary conditions: traction free and insulated. Moreover, the asymptotic behaviour of solutions is investigated.

Note on a mixed variational principle in finite elasticity

Gérard A. Maugin, Carmine Trimarco (1992)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In the present context the variation is performed keeping the deformed configuration fixed while a suitable material stress tensor S and the material coordinates are required to vary independently. The variational principle turns out to be equivalent to an equilibrium problem of placements and tractions prescribed at the boundary of a body of finite extent.

Nouvelles propriétés des courbes et relation de dispersion en élasticité linéaire

Tark Bouhennache, Yves Dermenjian (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In the case of an elastic strip we exhibit two properties of dispersion curves λn,n ≥ 1, that were not pointed out previously. We show cases where λ'n(0) = λ''n(0) = λ'''n(0) = 0 and we point out that these curves are not automatically monotoneous on + . The non monotonicity was an open question (see [2], for example) and, for the first time, we give a rigourous answer. Recall the characteristic property of the dispersion curves: {λn(p);n ≥ 1} is the set of eigenvalues of Ap, counted with their...

Numerical modelling of semi-coercive beam problem with unilateral elastic subsoil of Winkler's type

Stanislav Sysala (2010)

Applications of Mathematics

A non-linear semi-coercive beam problem is solved in this article. Suitable numerical methods are presented and their uniform convergence properties with respect to the finite element discretization parameter are proved here. The methods are based on the minimization of the total energy functional, where the descent directions of the functional are searched by solving the linear problems with a beam on bilateral elastic ``springs''. The influence of external loads on the convergence properties is...
