La valutazione teorica di spostamenti e rotazioni in fase anelastica negli elementi monodimensionali in cemento armato

Edoardo Cosenza, Carlo Greco, Gaetano Manfredi (1991)

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

Si presenta una metodologia di calcolo per valutare lo stato deformativo, in termini di curvature, rotazioni e spostamenti, negli elementi monodimensionali in cemento armato soggetti a carichi monotoni in regime anelastico. In particolare si tiene conto dello scorrimento acciaio calcestruzzo, e della collaborazione offerta dal calcestruzzo teso fra due successive lesioni. Si presenta il sistema di equazioni non-lineari che regge il problema, con le relative condizioni al contorno, e si discute in...

Linearized plastic plate models as Γ-limits of 3D finite elastoplasticity

Elisa Davoli (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The subject of this paper is the rigorous derivation of reduced models for a thin plate by means of Γ-convergence, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by ε the thickness of the plate, we analyse the case where the scaling factor of the elasto-plastic energy per unit volume is of order ε2α−2, with α ≥ 3. According to the value of α, partially or fully linearized models are deduced, which correspond, in the absence of plastic deformation, to the Von Kármán plate theory and the linearized...

Linearized plasticity is the evolutionary Γ -limit of finite plasticity

Alexander Mielke, Ulisse Stefanelli (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We provide a rigorous justification of the classical linearization approach in plasticity. By taking the small-deformations limit, we prove via Γ -convergence for rate-independent processes that energetic solutions of the quasi-static finite-strain elastoplasticity system converge to the unique strong solution of linearized elastoplasticity.

Mathematical study of an evolution problem describing the thermomechanical process in shape memory alloys

Pierluigi Colli (1991)

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

In this paper we prove existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence for a one-dimensional time-dependent problem related to a thermo-mechanical model of structural phase transitions in solids. This model assumes the free energy depending on temperature, macroscopic deformation and also on the proportions of the phases. Here we neglect regularizing terms in the momentum balance equation and in the constitutive laws for the phase proportions.

Modelled behaviour of granular material during loading and unloading

Krejčí, Pavel, Siváková, Lenka, Chleboun, Jan (2019)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

The main aim of this paper is to analyze numerically the model behaviour of a granular material during loading and unloading. The model was originally proposed by D. Kolymbas and afterward modified by E. Bauer. For our purposes the constitutive equation was transformed into a rate independent form by introducing a dimensionless time parameter. By this transformation we were able to derive explicit formulas for the strain-stress trajectories during loading-unloading cycles and compare the results...

Numerical analysis and simulations of quasistatic frictionless contact problems

José Fernández García, Weimin Han, Meir Shillor, Mircea Sofonea (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A summary of recent results concerning the modelling as well as the variational and numerical analysis of frictionless contact problems for viscoplastic materials are presented. The contact is modelled with the Signorini or normal compliance conditions. Error estimates for the fully discrete numerical scheme are described, and numerical simulations based on these schemes are reported.

Numerical approaches to rate-independent processes and applications in inelasticity

Alexander Mielke, Tomáš Roubíček (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

A conceptual numerical strategy for rate-independent processes in the energetic formulation is proposed and its convergence is proved under various rather mild data qualifications. The novelty is that we obtain convergence of subsequences of space-time discretizations even in case where the limit problem does not have a unique solution and we need no additional assumptions on higher regularity of the limit solution. The variety of general perspectives thus obtained is illustrated on several...

Numerical Modelling of Contact Elastic-Plastic Flows

N. M. Bessonov, S. F. Golovashchenko, V. A. Volpert (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Wilkins' method has been successfully used since early 60s for numerical simulation of high velocity contact elastic-plastic flows. The present work proposes some effective modifications of this method including more sophisticated material model including the Baushinger effect; modification of the algorithm based on correction of the initial configuration of a solid; a contact algorithm based on the idea of a mild contact.

On implicit constitutive theories

Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

In classical constitutive models such as the Navier-Stokes fluid model, and the Hookean or neo-Hookean solid models, the stress is given explicitly in terms of kinematical quantities. Models for viscoelastic and inelastic responses on the other hand are usually implicit relationships between the stress and the kinematical quantities. Another class of problems wherein it would be natural to develop implicit constitutive theories, though seldom resorted to, are models for bodies that are constrained....
