Optimization of the shape of axisymmetric shells
Axisymmetric thin elastic shells of constant thickness are considered and the meridian curves of their middle surfaces taken for the design variable. Admissible functions are smooth curves of a given length, which are uniformly bounded together with their first and second derivatives, and such that the shell contains a given volume. The loading consists of the hydrostatic pressure of a liquid, the shell's own weight and the internal or external pressure. As the cost functional, the integral of the...

Parallel solution of elasticity problems using overlapping aggregations
The finite element (FE) solution of geotechnical elasticity problems leads to the solution of a large system of linear equations. For solving the system, we use the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method with two-level additive Schwarz preconditioner. The preconditioning is realised in parallel. A coarse space is usually constructed using an aggregation technique. If the finite element spaces for coarse and fine problems on structural grids are fully compatible, relations between elements...

Quadratic finite elements with non-matching grids for the unilateral boundary contact
We analyze a numerical model for the Signorini unilateral contact, based on the mortar method, in the quadratic finite element context. The mortar frame enables one to use non-matching grids and brings facilities in the mesh generation of different components of a complex system. The convergence rates we state here are similar to those already obtained for the Signorini problem when discretized on conforming meshes. The matching for the unilateral contact driven by mortars preserves then the proper...

Quasi-static evolution for fatigue debonding
The propagation of fractures in a solid undergoing cyclic loadings is known as the fatigue phenomenon. In this paper, we present a time continuous model for fatigue, in the special situation of the debonding of thin layers, coming from a time discretized version recently proposed by Jaubert and Marigo [C. R. Mecanique333 (2005) 550–556]. Under very general assumptions on the surface energy density and on the applied displacement, we discuss the well-posedness of our problem and we give the main...
