On semiconvexity properties of rotationally invariant functions in two dimensions

Miroslav Šilhavý (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let f be a function defined on the set 𝐌 2 × 2 of all 2 by 2 matrices that is invariant with respect to left and right multiplications of its argument by proper orthogonal matrices. The function f can be represented as a function f ˜ of the signed singular values of its matrix argument. The paper expresses the ordinary convexity, polyconvexity, and rank 1 convexity of f in terms of its representation f ˜ .

On the analysis of elastic layers by a Fourier series, Green's function approach

Giorgio Novati (1987)

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

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

Marin Marin (1997)

Archivum Mathematicum

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 t > 0 the displacement field u i , the temperature θ and the change in volume fraction σ generate no disturbance outside a bounded domain B t .

On the nonlinear behaviour of bimodular multilayer ed plates.

Giacinto Porco, Giuseppe Spandea, Raffaele Zinno (1991)

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

In an earlier study [16] the nonlinear behaviour of unimodular laminated plates was studied. This paper, following the previous study, concerns a large deflection analysis of moderately thick rectangular plates having arbitrary boundary conditions and finite thickness shear moduli. The plates are manufactured in bimodular materials and constructed in a cross-ply fashion or in a single layer with arbitrary fibre direction angle. Numerical results are obtained by a finite element technique in which...

On the numerical modeling of deformations of pressurized martensitic thin films

Pavel Bělík, Timothy Brule, Mitchell Luskin (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We propose, analyze, and compare several numerical methods for the computation of the deformation of a pressurized martensitic thin film. Numerical results have been obtained for the hysteresis of the deformation as the film transforms reversibly from austenite to martensite.

On the Numerical Modeling of Deformations of Pressurized Martensitic Thin Films

Pavel Bělík, Timothy Brule, Mitchell Luskin (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We propose, analyze, and compare several numerical methods for the computation of the deformation of a pressurized martensitic thin film. Numerical results have been obtained for the hysteresis of the deformation as the film transforms reversibly from austenite to martensite.

On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. II. Mixed boundary conditions

Igor Bock, Ivan Hlaváček, Ján Lovíšek (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

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.
