Dislocation dynamics - analytical description of the interaction force between dipolar loops
The interaction between dislocation dipolar loops plays an important role in the computation of the dislocation dynamics. The analytical form of the interaction force between two loops derived in the present paper from Kroupa’s formula of the stress field generated by a single dipolar loop allows for faster computation.

Dual finite element analysis for contact problem of elastic bodies with an enlarging contact zone
Dual finite element analysis of the contact problem of two elastic bodies with an enlarging contact zone is presented. Approximations of the solution are defined on two types of triangulations by piecewise constant stress fields. Convergence is proved in both cases.
Dynamic frictional contact of a viscoelastic beam
In this paper, we study the dynamic frictional contact of a viscoelastic beam with a deformable obstacle. The beam is assumed to be situated horizontally and to move, in both horizontal and tangential directions, by the effect of applied forces. The left end of the beam is clamped and the right one is free. Its horizontal displacement is constrained because of the presence of a deformable obstacle, the so-called foundation, which is modelled by a normal compliance contact condition. The effect...
Effective computation of restoring force vector in finite element method
We introduce a new way of computation of time dependent partial differential equations using hybrid method FEM in space and FDM in time domain and explicit computational scheme. The key idea is quick transformation of standard basis functions into new simple basis functions. This new way is used for better computational efficiency. We explain this way of computation on an example of elastodynamic equation using quadrilateral elements. However, the method can be used for more types of elements and...
Efficient application of e-invariants in finite element method for an elastodynamic equation
We introduce a new efficient way of computation of partial differential equations using a hybrid method composed from FEM in space and FDM in time domain. The overall computational scheme is explicit in time. The key idea of the suggested way is based on a transformation of standard basis functions into new basis functions. The results of this matrix transformation are e-invariants (effective invariants) with such suitable properties which save the number of arithmetical operations needed for a...
Energy methods for curved composite beams with partial shear interaction
This paper presents a derivation of the Rayleigh- Betti reciprocity relation for layered curved composite beams with interlayer slip. The principle of minimum of potential energy is also formulated for two-layer curved composite beams and its applications are illustrated by numerical examples. The solution of the presented problems are obtained by the Ritz method. The applications of the Rayleigh-Betti reciprocity relation proven are illustrated by some examples.

Error estimates for elasto-plastic problems
Error estimates for the ultra weak variational formulation in linear elasticity
We prove error estimates for the ultra weak variational formulation (UWVF) in 3D linear elasticity. We show that the UWVF of Navier’s equation can be derived as an upwind discontinuous Galerkin method. Using this observation, error estimates are investigated applying techniques from the theory of discontinuous Galerkin methods. In particular, we derive a basic error estimate for the UWVF in a discontinuous Galerkin type norm and then an error estimate in the L2(Ω) norm in terms of the best approximation...

Error estimates of an iterative method for a quasistatic elastic-visco-plastic problem
This paper deals with an initial and boundary value problem describing the quasistatic evolution of rate-type viscoplastic materials. Using a fixed point property, an iterative method in the study of this problem is proposed. A concrete algorithm as well as some numerical results in the one-dimensional case are also presented.
Error estimation and adaptivity for nonlinear FE analysis
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:...
Estensione di un teorema sull'adattamento in dinamica elasto-plastica
Nell'articolo si tratta il problema dell'adattamento in dinamica elasto-plastica. La trattazione è fondata sulle seguenti basi: si adotta un legame costitutivo elasto-plastico di notevole generalità, basato su di una formulazione a variabili interne in grado di descrivere un comportamento incrudente genericamente non lineare; si fa riferimento ad un modello strutturale discreto, descritto mediante variabili generalizzate. I contributi presentati si possono così riassumere: si estendono risultati...
