On the Equivalence of the Riemann-Liouville and the Caputo Fractional Order Derivatives in Modeling of Linear Viscoelastic Materials

Bagley, Ron (2007)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33In the process of constructing empirical mathematical models of physical phenomena using the fractional calculus, investigators are usually faced with the choice of which definition of the fractional derivative to use, the Riemann-Liouville definition or the Caputo definition. This investigation presents the case that, with some minimal restrictions, the two definitions produce completely equivalent mathematical models of the linear viscoelastic phenomenon....

One-dimensional model describing the non-linear viscoelastic response of materials

Tomáš Bárta (2014)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we consider a model of a one-dimensional body where strain depends on the history of stress. We show local existence for large data and global existence for small data of classical solutions and convergence of the displacement, strain and stress to zero for time going to infinity.

Optimal Poiseuille flow in a finite elastic dyadic tree

Benjamin Mauroy, Nicolas Meunier (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper we construct a model to describe some aspects of the deformation of the central region of the human lung considered as a continuous elastically deformable medium. To achieve this purpose, we study the interaction between the pipes composing the tree and the fluid that goes through it. We use a stationary model to determine the deformed radius of each branch. Then, we solve a constrained minimization problem, so as to minimize the viscous (dissipated) energy in the tree. The key...

Quasistatic frictional problems for elastic and viscoelastic materials

Oanh Chau, Dumitru Motreanu, Mircea Sofonea (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider two quasistatic problems which describe the frictional contact between a deformable body and an obstacle, the so-called foundation. In the first problem the body is assumed to have a viscoelastic behavior, while in the other it is assumed to be elastic. The frictional contact is modeled by a general velocity dependent dissipation functional. We derive weak formulations for the models and prove existence and uniqueness results. The proofs are based on the theory of evolution variational...

Remarks on materials with memory

Victor Mizel (1992)

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

The mistaken notion that consistency with fading memory should require uniqueness is refuted by citation of the sources. Indeed, insistence on uniqueness would exclude many examples from non-linear elasticity and would exclude materials capable of exhibiting hysteresis.

Rheologies quasi wave number independent in a sphere and splitting the spectral line

Michele Caputo (1988)

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

The solution of the equations which govern the slow motions (for which the inertia forces are negligible) in an elastic sphere is studied for a great variety of rheological models and surface tractions with rotational symmetry (Caputo 1984a). The solution is expressed in terms of spherical harmonics and it is shown that its time dependent component is dependent on the order of the harmonic. The dependence of the time component of the solution on the order of the harmonic number is studied. The problem...

Solvability of a dynamic rational contact with limited interpenetration for viscoelastic plates

Jiří Jarušek (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

Solvability of the rational contact with limited interpenetration of different kind of viscolastic plates is proved. The biharmonic plates, von Kármán plates, Reissner-Mindlin plates, and full von Kármán systems are treated. The viscoelasticity can have the classical (``short memory'') form or the form of a certain singular memory. For all models some convergence of the solutions to the solutions of the Signorini contact is proved provided the thickness of the interpenetration tends to zero.
