Sull'equilibrio termoelastico di un particolare solido incomprimibile

Diego Pigozzi (1981)

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

We consider an incompressible elastic solid which admits a configuration of equilibrium having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped C * when external forces are absent. We look for a thermoelastic transformation mapping that configuration onto a cylindrical wedge C . The problem we consider is analogous to the one where both C * and C are cylindrical crowns. This case has been considered by T. Manacorda ( 1 ) Referring C to a system of cylindrical coordinates r , ϑ and ζ , we show that the transformation...

Temperature-dependent hysteresis in one-dimensional thermovisco-elastoplasticity

Pavel Krejčí, Jürgen Sprekels (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we develop a thermodynamically consistent description of the uniaxial behavior of thermovisco-elastoplastic materials for which the total stress σ contains, in addition to elastic, viscous and thermic contributions, a plastic component σ p of the form σ p ( x , t ) = 𝒫 [ ε , θ ( x , t ) ] ( x , t ) . Here ε and θ are the fields of strain and absolute temperature, respectively, and { 𝒫 [ · , θ ] } θ > 0 denotes a family of (rate-independent) hysteresis operators of Prandtl-Ishlinskii type, parametrized by the absolute temperature. The system of momentum...

The balayage method: boundary control of a thermo-elastic plate

Walter Littman, Stephen Taylor (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We discuss the null boundary controllability of a linear thermo-elastic plate. The method employs a smoothing property of the system of PDEs which allows the boundary controls to be calculated directly by solving two Cauchy problems.

The Singularity Expansion Method applied to the transient motions of a floating elastic plate

Christophe Hazard, François Loret (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper we propose an original approach for the simulation of the time-dependent response of a floating elastic plate using the so-called Singularity Expansion Method. This method consists in computing an asymptotic behaviour for large time obtained by means of the Laplace transform by using the analytic continuation of the resolvent of the problem. This leads to represent the solution as the sum of a discrete superposition of exponentially damped oscillating motions associated to the poles...

The weak solution of an antiplane contact problem for electro-viscoelastic materials with long-term memory

Ammar Derbazi, Mohamed Dalah, Amar Megrous (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

We study a mathematical model which describes the antiplane shear deformation of a cylinder in frictionless contact with a rigid foundation. The material is assumed to be electro-viscoelastic with long-term memory, and the friction is modeled with Tresca's law and the foundation is assumed to be electrically conductive. First we derive the classical variational formulation of the model which is given by a system coupling an evolutionary variational equality for the displacement field with a time-dependent...
