On a 1-D model of stress relaxation in an annealed glass

Vladimír Janovský, David Just (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

A 1-D model of a slab of glass of a small thickness is considered. The governing equations are those of the classical 1-D linear viscoelasticity. A load due to the temperature gradients is assumed. The aim is to model the process called annealing. It is shown that an additional load due to structural strain is crucial for the success of the model. Algorithms of a numerical solution of the governing equations are proposed. Numerical results are presented and commented.

On a type of Signorini problem without friction in linear thermoelasticity

Jiří Nedoma (1983)

Aplikace matematiky

In the paper the Signorini problem without friction in the linear thermoelasticity for the steady-state case is investigated. The problem discussed is the model geodynamical problem, physical analysis of which is based on the plate tectonic hypothesis and the theory of thermoelasticity. The existence and unicity of the solution of the Signorini problem without friction for the steady-state case in the linear thermoelasticity as well as its finite element approximation is proved. It is known that...

On an inversion formula of certain Laplace transforms in dissipative wave propagation

Pasquale Renno (1981)

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

Si determina una formula di inversione di alcune trasformate di Laplace che intervengono nell’analisi formale di problemi al contorno relativi ad una classe di mezzi dissipativi. Le espressioni esplicite proposte definiscono funzioni analitiche a decrescenza rapida dotate di numerose proprietà di massimo, utili anche all’analisi di problemi unilaterali.

On Ishlinskij's model for non-perfectly elastic bodies

Pavel Krejčí (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

The main goal of the paper is to formulate some new properties of the Ishlinskii hysteresis operator F , which characterizes e.g. the relation between the deformation and the stress in a non-perfectly elastic (elastico-plastic) material. We introduce two energy functionals and derive the energy inequalities. As an example we investigate the equation u ' ' + F ( u ) = 0 describing the motion of a mass point at the extremity of an elastico-plastic spring.

On Signorini problem for von Kármán equations. The case of angular domain

Jan Franců (1979)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper deals with the generalized Signorini problem. The used method of pseudomonotone semicoercive operator inequality is introduced in the paper by O. John. The existence result for smooth domains from the paper by O. John is extended to technically significant "angular" domains. The crucial point of the proof is the estimation of the nonlinear term which appears in the operator form of the problem. The substantial technical difficulties connected with non-smoothness of the boundary are overcome...

On the dynamical behaviour of plates in unilateral contact with an elastic foundation: a finite element approach.

Luigi Ascione, Domenico Bruno, Renato S. Olivito (1984)

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

In questo lavoro viene studiato il comportamento dinamico di una piastra vincolata monolateralmente su una fondazione elastica alla Winkler. Si presentano alcuni risultati numerici ottenuti mediante discretizzazione agli elementi finiti. Tali risultati mettono in luce l'influenza di alcuni fattori tipici come le funzioni di forma, il parametro di mesh e l'ampiezza dell'intervallo con cui si realizza l'integrazione nel tempo delle equazioni del moto. Si istituiscono infine dei confronti con risultati...

On the mechanical behaviour of laminated curved beams: a simple model which takes into account the warping effects

Luigi Ascione, Fernando Fraternali (1990)

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

A mechanical one-dimensional model which describes the dynamical behaviour of laminated curved beams is formulated. It is assumed that each lamina can be regarded as a Timoshenko's beam and that the rotations of the cross sections can differ from one lamina to another. The relative displacements at the interfaces of adjacent laminae are assumed to be zero. Consequently the model includes a shear deformability, due to the warping of the cross beam section consequent to the variability of the laminae...

On the membrane approximation for thin elastic shells in the hyperbolic case.

E. Sánchez-Palencia (1993)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We consider the variational formulation of the problem of elastic shells in the membrane approximation, when the medium surface is hyperbolic. It appears that the corresponding bilinear form behaves as some kind of two-dimensional elasticity without shear rigidity. This amounts to saying that the membrane behaves rather as a net made of elastic strings disposed along the asymptotic curves of the surface than as an elastic two-dimensional medium. The mathematical and physical reasons of this behavior...

On the Signorini problem with friction in linear thermoelasticity: The quasi-coupled 2D-case

Jiří Nedoma (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

The Signorini problem with friction in quasi-coupled linear thermo-elasticity (the 2D-case) is discussed. The problem is the model problem in the geodynamics. Using piecewise linear finite elements on the triangulation of the given domain, numerical procedures are proposed. The finite element analysis for the Signorini problem with friction on the contact boundary Γ α of a polygonal domain G R 2 is given. The rate of convergence is proved if the exact solution is sufficiently regular.
