Mathematical modelling of cable stayed bridges: existence, uniqueness, continuous dependence on data, homogenization of cable systems

Josef Malík (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

A model of a cable stayed bridge is proposed. This model describes the behaviour of the center span, the part between pylons, hung on one row of cable stays. The existence, the uniqueness of a solution of a time independent problem and the continuous dependence on data are proved. The existence and the uniqueness of a solution of a linearized dynamic problem are proved. A homogenizing procedure making it possible to replace cables by a continuous system is proposed. A nonlinear dynamic problem connected...

Mathematical models of suspension bridges

Gabriela Tajčová (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

In this work we try to explain various mathematical models describing the dynamical behaviour of suspension bridges such as the Tacoma Narrows bridge. Our attention is concentrated on the derivation of these models, an interpretation of particular parameters and on a discussion of their advantages and disadvantages. Our work should be a starting point for a qualitative study of dynamical structures of this type and that is why we have a closer look at the models, which have not been studied in literature...

Mathematical study of an evolution problem describing the thermomechanical process in shape memory alloys

Pierluigi Colli (1991)

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

In this paper we prove existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence for a one-dimensional time-dependent problem related to a thermo-mechanical model of structural phase transitions in solids. This model assumes the free energy depending on temperature, macroscopic deformation and also on the proportions of the phases. Here we neglect regularizing terms in the momentum balance equation and in the constitutive laws for the phase proportions.

Mixed formulation for elastic problems - existence, approximation, and applications to Poisson structures

Julian Ławrynowicz, Alain Mignot, Loucas Papaloucas, Claude Surry (1996)

Banach Center Publications

A mixed formulation is given for elastic problems. Existence and uniqueness of the discretized problem are given for conformal continuous interpolations for the stress tensor components and for the components of the displacement vector. A counterpart of the problem is discussed in the case of an even-dimensional Euclidean space with an associated Hamiltonian vector field and the Poisson structure. For conformal interpolations of the same order the question remains open.

Modeling the tip-sample interaction in atomic force microscopy with Timoshenko beam theory

Julio R. Claeyssen, Teresa Tsukazan, Leticia Tonetto, Daniela Tolfo (2013)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

A matrix framework is developed for single and multispan micro-cantilevers Timoshenko beam models of use in atomic force microscopy (AFM). They are considered subject to general forcing loads and boundary conditions for modeling tipsample interaction. Surface effects are considered in the frequency analysis of supported and cantilever microbeams. Extensive use is made of a distributed matrix fundamental response that allows to determine forced responses through convolution and to absorb non-homogeneous...

Nonlinear evolution inclusions arising from phase change models

Pierluigi Colli, Pavel Krejčí, Elisabetta Rocca, Jürgen Sprekels (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The paper is devoted to the analysis of an abstract evolution inclusion with a non-invertible operator, motivated by problems arising in nonlocal phase separation modeling. Existence, uniqueness, and long-time behaviour of the solution to the related Cauchy problem are discussed in detail.

Nonlinear models of suspension bridges: discussion of the results

Pavel Drábek, Gabriela Holubová, Aleš Matas, Petr Nečesal (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we present several nonlinear models of suspension bridges; most of them have been introduced by Lazer and McKenna. We discuss some results which were obtained by the authors and other mathematicians for the boundary value problems and initial boundary value problems. Our intention is to point out the character of these results and to show which mathematical methods were used to prove them instead of giving precise proofs and statements.

Non-local damage modelling of quasi-brittle composites

Jiří Vala, Vladislav Kozák (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

Most building materials can be characterized as quasi-brittle composites with a cementitious matrix, reinforced by some stiffening particles or elements. Their massive exploitation motivates the development of numerical modelling and simulation of behaviour of such material class under mechanical, thermal, etc. loads, including the evaluation of the risk of initiation and development of micro- and macro-fracture. This paper demonstrates the possibility of certain deterministic prediction, applying...
