Il criterio dell'energia e l'equazione di Maxwell-Cattaneo nella termoelasticità non lineare

Ettore Laserra, Giovanni Matarazzo (1985)

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

By means of the energy method we determine the behaviour of the canonical free energy of an elastic body, immersed in an environment that is thermally and mechanically passive; we use as constitutive equation for the heat flux a Maxwell-Cattaneo like equation.

Mathematical treatment for thermoelastic plate with a curvilinear hole in S-plane

Alaa A. El-Bary (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

The Cauchy integral method has been applied to derive exact and closed expressions for Goursat's functions for the first and second fundamental problems for an infinite thermoelastic plate weakened by a hole having arbitrary shape. The plate considered is conformally mapped to the area of the right half-plane. Many previous discussions of various authors can be considered as special cases of this work. The shape of the hole being an ellipse, a crescent, a triangle, or a cut having the shape of a...

Mesoscopic description of boundary effects in nanoscale heat transport

F.X. Àlvarez, V.A. Cimmelli, D. Jou, A. Sellitto (2012)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

We review some of the most important phenomena due to the phonon-wall collisions in nonlocal heat transport in nanosystems, and show how they may be described through certain slip boundary conditions in phonon hydrodynamics. Heat conduction in nanowires of different cross sections and in thin layers is analyzed, and the dependence of the thermal conductivity on the geometry, as well as on the roughness is pointed out. We also analyze the effects of the roughness of the surface of the pores on the...

Numerical analysis of the quasistatic thermoviscoelastic thermistor problem

José R. Fernández (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this work, the quasistatic thermoviscoelastic thermistor problem is considered. The thermistor model describes the combination of the effects due to the heat, electrical current conduction and Joule's heat generation. The variational formulation leads to a coupled system of nonlinear variational equations for which the existence of a weak solution is recalled. Then, a fully discrete algorithm is introduced based on the finite element method to approximate the spatial variable and an Euler scheme...

Numerical approximation of dynamic deformations of a thermoviscoelastic rod against an elastic obstacle

Maria I. M. Copetti (2004)

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

In this paper we consider a hyperbolic-parabolic problem that models the longitudinal deformations of a thermoviscoelastic rod supported unilaterally by an elastic obstacle. The existence and uniqueness of a strong solution is shown. A finite element approximation is proposed and its convergence is proved. Numerical experiments are reported.
