The treatment of “pinching locking” in -shell elements
We consider a family of shell finite elements with quadratic displacements across the thickness. These elements are very attractive, but compared to standard general shell elements they face another source of numerical locking in addition to shear and membrane locking. This additional locking phenomenon – that we call “pinching locking” – is the subject of this paper and we analyse a numerical strategy designed to overcome this difficulty. Using a model problem in which only this specific source...
The treatment of “pinching locking” in 3D-shell elements

Thick obstacle problems with dynamic adhesive contact
In this work, we consider dynamic frictionless contact with adhesion between a viscoelastic body of the Kelvin-Voigt type and a stationary rigid obstacle, based on the Signorini's contact conditions. Including the adhesion processes modeled by the bonding field, a new version of energy function is defined. We use the energy function to derive a new form of energy balance which is supported by numerical results. Employing the time-discretization, we establish a numerical formulation and investigate...

Time domain simulation of a piano. Part 1: model description
The purpose of this study is the time domain modeling of a piano. We aim at explaining the vibratory and acoustical behavior of the piano, by taking into account the main elements that contribute to sound production. The soundboard is modeled as a bidimensional thick, orthotropic, heterogeneous, frequency dependent damped plate, using Reissner Mindlin equations. The vibroacoustics equations allow the soundboard to radiate into the surrounding air, in which we wish to compute the complete acoustical...
Time-periodic solutions of a quasilinear beam equation via accelerated convergence methods
The author investigates time-periodic solutions of the quasilinear beam equation with the help of accelerated convergence methods. Using the Newton iteration scheme, the problem is approximated by a sequence of linear equations solved via the Galerkin method. The derivatiove loss inherent to this kind of problems is compensated by taking advantage of smoothing operators.
Topological asymptotic analysis of the Kirchhoff plate bending problem
The topological asymptotic analysis provides the sensitivity of a given shape functional with respect to an infinitesimal domain perturbation, like the insertion of holes, inclusions, cracks. In this work we present the calculation of the topological derivative for a class of shape functionals associated to the Kirchhoff plate bending problem, when a circular inclusion is introduced at an arbitrary point of the domain. According to the literature, the topological derivative has been fully developed...

A vibrating string, modelled by the wave equation, with an interior mass is considered. It is viewed as a linear delay system. A trajectory tracking problem is solved using a new type of controllability.
