The aim of this paper is to develop a finite element method which allows computing
the buckling coefficients and modes of a non-homogeneous Timoshenko beam.
Studying the spectral properties of a non-compact operator,
we show that the relevant buckling coefficients correspond to isolated
eigenvalues of finite multiplicity.
Optimal order error estimates are proved for the eigenfunctions
as well as a double order of convergence for
the eigenvalues using classical abstract spectral approximation theory...
The concept of reduced plastic dissipation is introduced for a perfectly plastic rate-independent material not obeyng the associated normality rule and characterized by a strictly convex plastic potential function. A maximum principle is provided and shown to play the role of variational statement for the nonassociative constitutive equations. The Kuhn-Tucker conditions of this principle describe the actual material behaviour as that of a (fictitious) composite material with two plastic constituents,...
Vasculogenesis and angiogenesis are two different mechanisms for blood vessel formation. Angiogenesis occurs when new vessels sprout from pre-existing vasculature in response to external chemical stimuli. Vasculogenesis occurs via the reorganization of randomly distributed cells into a blood vessel network. Experimental models of vasculogenesis have suggested that the cells exert traction forces onto the extracellular matrix and that these forces may play an important role in the network forming...

A Mimetic Discretization method for the linear elasticity problem
in mixed weakly symmetric form is developed. The scheme is shown to
converge linearly in the mesh size, independently of the
incompressibility parameter λ, provided the discrete scalar
product satisfies two given conditions. Finally, a family of
algebraic scalar products which respect the above conditions is
detailed.
In the context of the linear, dynamic problem for elastic bodies with voids, a minimum principle in terms of mechanical energy is stated. Involving a suitable (Reiss type) function in the minimizing functional, the minimum character achieved in the Laplace-transform domain is preserved when going back to the original time domain. Initial-boundary conditions of quite general type are considered.
A unilateral problem of an elastic plate above a rigid interior obstacle is solved on the basis of a mixed variational inequality formulation. Using the saddle point theory and the Herrmann-Johnson scheme for a simultaneous computation of deflections and moments, an iterative procedure is proposed, each step of which consists in a linear plate problem. The existence, uniqueness and some convergence analysis is presented.
A modal synthesis method to solve the elastoacoustic vibration problem is analyzed. A two-dimensional coupled fluid-solid system is considered; the solid is described by displacement variables, whereas displacement potential is used for the fluid. A particular modal synthesis leading to a symmetric eigenvalue problem is introduced. Finite element discretizations with lagrangian elements are considered for solving the uncoupled problems. Convergence for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions is proved, error...

In this paper, we continue the study of the Raman amplification in plasmas that we initiated in [Colin and Colin, Diff. Int. Eqs. 17 (2004) 297–330; Colin and Colin, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 193 (2006) 535–562]. We point out that the Raman instability gives rise to three components. The first one is collinear to the incident laser pulse and counter propagates. In 2-D, the two other ones make a non-zero angle with the initial pulse and propagate forward. Furthermore they are symmetric with respect...

A new Schwarz method for nonlinear systems is presented, constituting
the multiplicative variant of a straightforward additive scheme.
Local convergence can be guaranteed under suitable assumptions.
The scheme is applied to nonlinear acoustic-structure interaction problems.
Numerical examples validate the theoretical results. Further improvements are
discussed by means of introducing overlapping subdomains and employing an inexact
strategy for the local solvers.
