Error estimation and adaptivity for nonlinear FE analysis

Antonio Huerta, Antonio Rodríguez-Ferran, Pedro Díez (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

An adaptive strategy for nonlinear finite-element analysis, based on the combination of error estimation and h-remeshing, is presented. Its two main ingredients are a residual-type error estimator and an unstructured quadrilateral mesh generator. The error estimator is based on simple local computations over the elements and the so-called patches. In contrast to other residual estimators, no flux splitting is required. The adaptive strategy is illustrated by means of a complex nonlinear problem:...

Exact boundary controllability of a hybrid system of elasticity by the HUM method

Bopeng Rao (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the exact controllability of a hybrid system consisting of an elastic beam, clamped at one end and attached at the other end to a rigid antenna. Such a system is governed by one partial differential equation and two ordinary differential equations. Using the HUM method, we prove that the hybrid system is exactly controllable in an arbitrarily short time in the usual energy space.

Existence and non-existence of global solutions for nonlinear hyperbolic equations of higher order

Guo Wang Chen, Shu Bin Wang (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The existence and uniqueness of classical global solution and blow up of non-global solution to the first boundary value problem and the second boundary value problem for the equation u t t - α u x x - β u x x t t = ϕ ( u x ) x are proved. Finally, the results of the above problem are applied to the equation arising from nonlinear waves in elastic rods u t t - a 0 + n a 1 ( u x ) n - 1 u x x - a 2 u x x t t = 0 .

Exponential stability of a flexible structure with history and thermal effect

Roberto Díaz, Jaime Muñoz, Carlos Martínez, Octavio Vera (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of a system composed of an integro-partial differential equation that models the longitudinal oscillation of a beam with a memory effect to which a thermal effect has been given by the Green-Naghdi model type III, being physically more accurate than the Fourier and Cattaneo models. To achieve this goal, we will use arguments from spectral theory, considering a suitable hypothesis of smoothness on the integro-partial differential equation.

Geometry of the free-sliding Bernoulli beam

Giovanni Moreno, Monika Ewa Stypa (2016)

Communications in Mathematics

If a variational problem comes with no boundary conditions prescribed beforehand, and yet these arise as a consequence of the variation process itself, we speak of the free boundary values variational problem. Such is, for instance, the problem of finding the shortest curve whose endpoints can slide along two prescribed curves. There exists a rigorous geometric way to formulate this sort of problems on smooth manifolds with boundary, which we review here in a friendly self-contained way. As an application,...
