Boundary variational inequality approach in the anisotropic elasticity for the Signorini problem.
Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 74B20, 74D10, 74L15The popular elastic law of Fung that describes the non-linear stress- strain behavior of soft biological tissues is extended into a viscoelastic material model that incorporates fractional derivatives in the sense of Caputo. This one-dimensional material model is then transformed into a three-dimensional constitutive model that is suitable for general analysis. The model is derived in a configuration that differs from the current, or spatial,...
In this paper, we establish Carleman estimates for the two dimensional isotropic non-stationary Lamé system with the zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using this estimate, we prove the uniqueness and the stability in determining spatially varying density and two Lamé coefficients by a single measurement of solution over , where is a sufficiently large time interval and a subdomain satisfies a non-trapping condition.
In this paper, we establish Carleman estimates for the two dimensional isotropic non-stationary Lamé system with the zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using this estimate, we prove the uniqueness and the stability in determining spatially varying density and two Lamé coefficients by a single measurement of solution over (0,T) x ω, where T > 0 is a sufficiently large time interval and a subdomain ω satisfies a non-trapping condition.
We derive Carleman type estimates with two large parameters for a general partial differential operator of second order. The weight function is assumed to be pseudo-convex with respect to the operator. We give applications to uniqueness and stability of the continuation of solutions and identification of coefficients for the Lamé system of dynamical elasticity with residual stress. This system is anisotropic and cannot be principally diagonalized, but it can be transformed into an "upper triangular"...
We consider coupled structures consisting of two different linear elastic materials bonded along an interface. The material discontinuities combined with geometrical peculiarities of the outer boundary lead to unbounded stresses. The mathematical analysis of the singular behaviour of the elastic fields, especially near points where the interface meets the outer boundary, can be performed by means of asymptotic expansions with respect to the distance from the geometrical and structural singularities....
We prove the conical differentiability of the solution to a bone remodeling contact rod model, for given data (applied loads and rigid obstacle), with respect to small perturbations of the cross section of the rod. The proof is based on the special structure of the model, composed of a variational inequality coupled with an ordinary differential equation with respect to time. This structure enables the verification of the two following fundamental results: the polyhedricity of a modified displacement...

Some foundational aspects of the constitutive theory of finite elasticity are considered in the case, regarded here as general, when internal kinematical constraints are imposed. The emphasis is on the algebraic-geometric structure induced by constraints. In particular, old and new examples of internal constraints are reviewed, and the material symmetry issue in the presence of constraints is discussed.
In this paper we present a few results on convergence for the prime integrals equations connected with the bounce problem. This approach allows both to prove uniqueness for the one-dimensional bounce problem for almost all permissible Cauchy data (see also [6]) and to deepen previous results (see [3], [5], [7]).
