Approximation of the vibration modes of a plate coupled with a fluid by low-order isoparametric finite elements

Erwin Hernández (2004)

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

We analyze an isoparametric finite element method to compute the vibration modes of a plate, modeled by Reissner-Mindlin equations, in contact with a compressible fluid, described in terms of displacement variables. To avoid locking in the plate, we consider a low-order method of the so called MITC (Mixed Interpolation of Tensorial Component) family on quadrilateral meshes. To avoid spurious modes in the fluid, we use a low-order hexahedral Raviart-Thomas elements and a non conforming coupling is...

Conditions for periodic vibrations in a symmetric n-string

Claude Gauthier (2008)

Open Mathematics

A symmetric N-string is a network of N ≥ 2 sections of string tied together at one common mobile extremity. In their equilibrium position, the sections of string form N angles of 2π/N at their junction point. Considering the initial and boundary value problem for small-amplitude oscillations perpendicular to the plane of the N-string at rest, we obtain conditions under which the solution will be periodic with an integral period.

Coupled string-beam equations as a model of suspension bridges

Pavel Drábek, Herbert Leinfelder, Gabriela Tajčová (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider nonlinearly coupled string-beam equations modelling time-periodic oscillations in suspension bridges. We prove the existence of a unique solution under suitable assumptions on certain parameters of the bridge.

Curved composite beam with interlayer slip loaded by radial load

István Ecsedi, Ákos József Lengyel (2015)

Curved and Layered Structures

Elastic two-layer curved composite beam with partial shear interaction is considered. It is assumed that each curved layer separately follows the Euler-Bernoulli hypothesis and the load slip relation for the flexible shear connection is a linear relationship. The curved composite beam at one of the end cross sections is fixed and the other end cross section is subjected by a concentrated radial load. Two cases are considered. In the first case the loaded end cross section is closed by a rigid plate...

Dynamic analysis of viscous material models

Trcala, Miroslav, Němec, Ivan, Vaněčková, Adéla, Hokeš, Filip (2021)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

The article deals with the analysis of the dynamic behavior of a~concrete structural element during fast dynamic processes. The constitutive material model must be chosen appropriately so that it takes material viscosity into account when describing the behavior of material. In this analysis, it is necessary to use fairly complex viscous material models which can affect, for example, vibration damping and the dependence of strength or even of the entire stress-strain curve on the strain rate. These...

Dynamic Damping - Comparison of different concepts from the point of view of their physical nature and effects on civil engineering structures

Němec, Ivan, Trcala, Miroslav, Vaněčková, Adéla, Rek, Václav (2019)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

Sources of dynamic damping may be various. Mostly, the damping is implemented into calculations in a form of introduction of damping forces, as a product of the velocity vector and the damping matrix in an equation of motion. In practice, the damping matrix is usually assumed to be a linear combination of the mass matrix and the stiffness matrix (so called Rayleigh’s damping). This kind of damping primarily assumes the external environment viscosity as the source of damping, even though the part...

Dynamic von Kármán equations involving nonlinear damping: Time-periodic solutions

Eduard Feireisl (1989)

Aplikace matematiky

In the paper, time-periodic solutions to dynamic von Kármán equations are investigated. Assuming that there is a damping term in the equations we are able to show the existence of at least one solution to the problem. The Faedo-Galerkin method is used together with some basic ideas concerning monotone operators on Orlicz spaces.
