Non unicità dell'energia libera per materiali viscoelastici
La non unicità dell'energia libera per un materiale viscoelastico di tipo «rate» viene provata mediante la determinazione di un controesempio.
Note critiche sui carichi di collasso dei continui bidimensionali isotropi
Nei continui bidimensionali isotropi in fase fessurata si dimostra, nella sola ipotesi che le linee di rottura rappresentino univocamente il meccanismo di collasso, la impossibilità di ottenere un moltiplicatore ottimale del carico. La configurazione reale può essere definita considerando anche la capacità deformativa del continuo in esame.
Note on a mixed variational principle in finite elasticity
In the present context the variation is performed keeping the deformed configuration fixed while a suitable material stress tensor and the material coordinates are required to vary independently. The variational principle turns out to be equivalent to an equilibrium problem of placements and tractions prescribed at the boundary of a body of finite extent.
Numerical minimization of eigenmodes of a membrane with respect to the domain
In this paper we introduce a numerical approach adapted to the minimization of the eigenmodes of a membrane with respect to the domain. This method is based on the combination of the Level Set method of S. Osher and J.A. Sethian with the relaxed approach. This algorithm enables both changing the topology and working on a fixed regular grid.
