On the variational principles in linear elastodynamics

A new approach is proposed for the systematic derivation of varïous variational principles in linear elastodynamics. Based on an important integral relation in terms of convolutions given by the authors, the new approach can be used to derive the complementary functionals for the five-field, four-field, three-field, two-field and one-field variational principles more simply and directly. Furthermore, with this approach, it is possible not only to derive the variational principles given by Herrera and Bielak, Oden and Reddy, but also to develop new more general variational principles. And the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly.     

On the connections between the functionals of equivalent variational principles

It is proved in this paper that the functionals of equivalent variational principles are different essentially only in terms of weighted residues. Consequently, the simplest method for constructing equivalent variational principles is to add weighted residues to known functionals as first used by Courant [4].     

Generalized variational principles on nonlinear theory of elasticity with finite displacements

Two generalized variational principles on nonlinear theory of elasticity with finitedisplacements in which the σ_(ij),e_(i j)and u_i are all three kinds of independent functionsare suggested in this paper.It isproved that these two generalized variational principles areequivalent to each other if the stress-strain relation is satisfied as constraint.Some specialcases,i.e.generalized variational principles on nonlinear theory of elasticity with smalldeformation,on linear theory with finite deformation and on linear theory with smalldeformation together with the corresponding equivalent theorems are also obtained.All ofthem are related to the three kinds of independent variables.

Generalized variational principles of the viscoelastic body with voids and their applications

From the Boltzmann‘ s constitutive law of viscoelastic materials and the linear theory of elastic materials with voids, a constitutive model of generalized force fields for viscoelastic solids with voids was given. By using the variational integral method, the convolution-type functional was given and the corresponding generalized variational principles and potential energy principle of viscoelastic solids with voids were presented. It can be shown that the variational principles correspond to the differential equations and theinitial and boundary conditions of viscoelastic body with voids. As an application, a generalized variational principle of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams with damage was obtained which corresponds to the differential equations of generalized motion and the initial and boundary conditions of beams. The variational principles provide a way for solving problems of viscoelastic solids with voids.     

STUDY OF THE EQUIVALENT THEOREM OF GENERALIZED VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES IN ELASTICITY

The relations of all generalized variational principles in elasticity are studied by employing the invariance theorem of field theory. The infinitesimal scale transformation in field theory was employed to investigate the equivalent theorem. Among the results found particularly interesting are those related to that all generalized variational principles in elasticity are equal to each other. Also studied result is that only two variables are independent in the functional and the stress-strain relation is the variational constraint condition for all generalized variational principles in elasticity. This work has proven again the conclusion of Prof. Chien Wei-zang.

Investigation of power-type variational principles in liquid-filled system

Starting from the basic equations of hydrodynamics, the maximum powertype variational principle of the hydrodynamics of viscous fluids was established by Weizang CHIEN in 1984. Through long-term research, it is clarified that the maximum power-type variational principle coincides with the Jourdian principle, which is one of the common principles for analytical mechanics. In the paper, the power-type variational principle is extended to rigid-body dynamics, elasto-dynamics, and rigid-elastic-liquid coupling dynamics. The governing equations of the rigid-elastic-liquid coupling dynamics in the liquid-filled system are obtained by deriving the stationary value conditions. The results show that, with the power-type variational principles studied directly in the state space, some transformations in the time domain space may be omitted in the establishing process, and the rigid-elastic-liquid coupling dynamics can be easily numerically modeled. Moreover, the analysis of the coupling dynamics in the liquid-filled system in this paper agrees well with the numerical analyses of the coupling dynamics in the liquid-filled system offered in the literatures.     

Generalized variational principles for boundary value problem of electromagnetic field in electrodynamics

An expression of the generalized principle of virtual work for the boundary value problem of the linear and anisotropic electromagnetic field is given. Using Chien＇s method, a pair of generalized variational principles （GVPs） are established, which directly leads to all four Maxwell＇s equations, two intensity-potential equations, two constitutive equations, and eight boundary conditions. A family of constrained variational principles is derived sequentially. As additional verifications, two degenerated forms are obtained, equivalent to two known variational principles. Two modified GVPs are given to provide the hybrid finite element models for the present problem.     

On parametric minimum complementary energy variational principle in soil mechanics

The parametric minimum complementary energy variational principle is given in this paper. To the problems of nonassociative flow rule in the theory of plasticity, the Drucker postulation can no longer be applied and the classical variational principles fail, the parametric variation principles can play the role instead. The parametric variational principle can be used for the finite element solution with sequential quadratic programming method to soil mechanics problems.

some general theorems and generalized and piecewise generalized variational principles for linear elastodynamics

From the concept of four-dimensional space and under the four kinds of time limit conditions, some general theorems for elastodynamics are developed, such as the principle of possible work action, the virtual displacement principle, the virtual stress-momentum principle, the reciprocal theorems and the related theorems of time terminal conditions derived from it. The variational principles of potential energy action and complementary energy action, the H-W principles, the H-R principles and the constitutive variational principles for elastodynamics are obtained. Hamilton's principle, Toupin's work and the formulations of Ref. [5], [17]-[24] may be regarded as some special cases of the general principles given in the paper. By considering three cases: piecewise space-time domain, piecewise space domain, piecewise time domain, the piecewise variational principles including the potential, the complementary and the mixed energy action fashions are given. Finally, the general formulation of piecewise variati     

UNCONVENTIONAL HAMILTON-TYPE VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES FOR DYNAMICS OF REISSNER SANDWICH PLATE

According to the basic idea of classical yin-yang complementarity and modern dual-complementarity,in a simple and unified way proposed by Luo(1987),some uncon- ventional Hamilton-type variational principles for dynamics of Reissner sandwich plate can be established systematically.The unconventional Hamilton-type variation principle can fully characterize the initial-boundary-value problem of this dynamics.In this pa- per,an important integral relation is given,which can be considered as the generalized principle of virtual work in mechanics.Based on this relation,it is possible not only to obtain the principle of virtual work in dynamics of Reissner sandwich plate,but also to derive systematically the complementary functionals for five-field,two-field and one-field unconventional Hamilton-type variational principles by the generalized Legender trans- formations.Furthermore,with this approach,the intrinsic relationship among the various principles can be explained clearly.
