Sweeping preconditioners for elastic wave propagation with spectral element methods
We present a parallel preconditioning method for the iterative solution of the time-harmonic elastic wave equation which makes use of higher-order spectral elements to reduce pollution error. In particular, the method leverages perfectly matched layer boundary conditions to efficiently approximate the Schur complement matrices of a block LDLT factorization. Both sequential and parallel versions of the algorithm are discussed and results for large-scale problems from exploration geophysics are presented....
Temperature-dependent hysteresis in one-dimensional thermovisco-elastoplasticity
In this paper, we develop a thermodynamically consistent description of the uniaxial behavior of thermovisco-elastoplastic materials for which the total stress contains, in addition to elastic, viscous and thermic contributions, a plastic component of the form . Here and are the fields of strain and absolute temperature, respectively, and denotes a family of (rate-independent) hysteresis operators of Prandtl-Ishlinskii type, parametrized by the absolute temperature. The system of momentum...
The Bernoulli manifolds for nonelliptic quasilinear systems of first order and applications in continuum mechanics
The impact of uncertain parameters on ratchetting trends in hypoplasticity
Perturbed parameters are considered in a hypoplastic model of granular materials. For fixed parameters, the model response to a periodic stress loading and unloading converges to a limit state of strain. The focus of this contribution is the assessment of the change in the limit strain caused by varying model parameters.
The relaxation of the Signorini problem for polyconvex functionals with linear growth at infinity
The aim of this paper is to study the unilateral contact condition (Signorini problem) for polyconvex functionals with linear growth at infinity. We find the lower semicontinuous relaxation of the original functional (defined over a subset of the space of bounded variations BV(Ω)) and we prove the existence theorem. Moreover, we discuss the Winkler unilateral contact condition. As an application, we show a few examples of elastic-plastic potentials for finite displacements.
Thermo-visco-elasticity with rate-independent plasticity in isotropic materials undergoing thermal expansion
We consider a viscoelastic solid in Kelvin-Voigt rheology exhibiting also plasticity with hardening and coupled with heat-transfer through dissipative heat production by viscoplastic effects and through thermal expansion and corresponding adiabatic effects. Numerical discretization of the thermodynamically consistent model is proposed by implicit time discretization, suitable regularization, and finite elements in space. Fine a-priori estimates are derived, and convergence is proved by careful successive...

Two-scale homogenization for a model in strain gradient plasticity
Using the tool of two-scale convergence, we provide a rigorous mathematical setting for the homogenization result obtained by Fleck and Willis [J. Mech. Phys. Solids 52 (2004) 1855–1888] concerning the effective plastic behaviour of a strain gradient composite material. Moreover, moving from deformation theory to flow theory, we prove a convergence result for the homogenization of quasistatic evolutions in the presence of isotropic linear hardening.

Uncertain input data problems and the worst scenario method
An introduction to the worst scenario method is given. We start with an example and a general abstract scheme. An analysis of the method both on the continuous and approximate levels is discussed. We show a possible incorporation of the method into the fuzzy set theory. Finally, we present a survey of applications published during the last decade.

Variational inequalities in plasticity with strain-hardening - equilibrium finite element approach
The incremental finite element method is applied to find the numerical solution of the plasticity problem with strain-hardening. Following Watwood and Hartz, the stress field is approximated by equilibrium triangular elements with linear functions. The field of the strain-hardening parameter is considered to be piecewise linear. The resulting nonlinear optimization problem with constraints is solved by the Lagrange multipliers method with additional variables. A comparison of the results obtained...
Well-posedness of a thermo-mechanical model for shape memory alloys under tension
We present a model of the full thermo-mechanical evolution of a shape memory body undergoing a uniaxial tensile stress. The well-posedness of the related quasi-static thermo-inelastic problem is addressed by means of hysteresis operators techniques. As a by-product, details on a time-discretization of the problem are provided.
