Un problema di ostacolo elastico non lineare per la piastra incastrata

Aldo Maceri (1992)

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

Si formula il problema della piastra su mezzo elastico con riferimento ad una particolare modellazione del comportamento di tale mezzo. Si ipotizza infatti una natura unilaterale del contatto tra la piastra, supposta sottile e linearmente elastica, ed il mezzo di fondazione (od ostacolo), per il quale si ipotizza un legame cubico tra spostamenti e reazioni. Tale modello costituisce una generalizzazione di quello ben noto di Winkler e si presta alla descrizione approssimata di numerosi casi della...

Unilateral contact applications using FEM software

M. Stavroulaki, G. Stavroulakis (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Nonsmooth analysis, inequality constrained optimization and variational inequalities are involved in the modelling of unilateral contact problems. The corresponding theoretical and algorithmic tools, which are part of the area known as nonsmooth mechanics, are by no means classical. In general purpose software some of these tools (perhaps in a simplified way) are currently available. Two engineering applications, a rubber-coated roller contact problem and a masonry wall, solved with MARC, are briefly...

Unilateral elastic subsoil of Winkler's type: Semi-coercive beam problem

Stanislav Sysala (2008)

Applications of Mathematics

The mathematical model of a beam on a unilateral elastic subsoil of Winkler's type and with free ends is considered. Such a problem is non-linear and semi-coercive. The additional assumptions on the beam load ensuring the problem solvability are formulated and the existence, the uniqueness of the solution and the continuous dependence on the data are proved. The cases for which the solutions need not be stable with respect to the small changes of the load are described. The problem is approximated...
