Original ArticleOn entropy flux-heat flux relation in thermodynamics with Lagrange multipliers

A typical problem often encountered in thermodynamics with Lagrange multipliers is to deduce the relation between the entropy flux and the heat flux from conditions imposed by the entropy principle employing the general entropy inequality. This problem is usually trivial if linear constitutive relations are assumed, and otherwise it can be quite difficult even though such a relation is expected. In this paper, we shall try to formulate such a problem in general and prove as theorems. Some previous thermodynamic theories with Lagrange multipliers are mentioned as typical examples.

On some general variational principles for creep with applications to thin shells

A constitutive relation for a viscous material subject to small strains but finite rotations is postulated and associated variational theorems are formulated. These are similar to the principle of minimum of potential energy and the Hellinger-Reissner theorem of an elastic solid. The derivation of strain-displacement relations for thin shells subject to small strains but moderately large rotations are given. On this basis a mixed variational principle for thin viscous shells is developed. For the problem of creep collapse of long cylindrical shells under external pressure it is demonstrated that the mixed variational principle may be advantageous compared to other variational theorems. A comparison with the creep collapse theory of Hoff et al. is given.     

Potentials for the modified Cam-Clay model

Energy and dissipation pseudo-potentials are employed to derive constitutive relationships, in the context of thermodynamic concepts, for the widely used Modified Cam-Clay (MCC) model for soil mechanics. A variational formulation of the MCC evolution equations is proposed in this paper. Since plastic collapse of MCC soils cannot be embedded in the classical limit analysis theory, finding the critical amplification of the load that produces plastic collapse is formulated in the form of a system of equations and inequalities. Then, a mixed minimization principle is proposed for the plastic collapse analysis of MCC soils. This principle is obtained by the application of the variational formulation for the flow law introduced in the first part of the article.     

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     

An incremental variational formulation of dissipative and non-dissipative coupled thermoelasticity for solids

In the early 1990s, Green and Naghdi introduced a theory attracting interest as heat propagates as thermal waves at finite speed and does not necessarily involve energy dissipation. Another outstanding property of the so-called theory of type II is the fact that the entropy flux vector is determined by means of the same potential as the mechanical stress tensor. Motivated by the procedure of [9, 15], we formulate a variational formulation within the incremental framework for coupled thermoelasticity for type I mimicing type II. The entropy flux of type II is determined via the free energy acting as a potential. This is not possible for the classical Fourier case in the continuous setting. Therefore, we target a derivation of an incremental entropy flux following Fourier’s law by means of incremental potentials similar to the spirit of the theory of the non-dissipative Green–Naghdi-type II. Subsequently, we show that the resulting update algorithm is a convenient fully coupled finite element formulation of the proposed thermoelastic problem.     

Implicit constitutive relations in thermoelasticity

In this paper, after a brief discussion on the implicit constitutive relations used in thermoelasticity, based on Fox’s [1] work, we derive a general implicit relation for the heat flux vector. In the section following that we use the methodology suggested by Rajagopal [2] and [69] whereby we derive a class of implicit constitutive relations for q and we show that by selecting appropriate functions appearing in the formulation, we can obtain as special cases the Fourier heat conduction and the Maxwell-Cattaneo-Fox model. We do not discuss the implications of the second law of thermodynamics.     

Novel variational formulations for nonlocal plasticity

A nonlocal structural model of softening plasticity is considered in the framework of the internal variable theories of inelastic behaviours of associative type. The finite-step nonlocal structural problem in a geometrically linear range is formulated according to a backward difference scheme for time integration of the flow rule. The related finite-step variational formulation in the complete set of local and nonlocal state variables is recovered. A family of mixed nonlocal variational formulations, with different combinations of state variables, is provided starting from the general variational formulation. The specialization of a mixed variational formulation to existing nonlocal models of softening plasticity, assuming both linear and nonlinear constitutive behaviour, is provided to show the effectiveness of the theory.     

Extended thermodynamics, viscoelasticity, and strain of solids

In this paper will be presented a formulation of extended thermodynamics for viscoelastic materials with heat conduction. The application of the Galilean invariance of the balance equations and the principle of entropy lead to the introduction of Lagrange multipliers, which provide constitutive equations for the flows. A condition of hyperbolicity system of equations is achieved by the concavity of the entropy density. The balance equations are linearized.     

Contact interaction of a bounded liquid volume with a solid under the action of gravity forces

A mathematical model of the interaction between a bounded liquid volume and a deformable solid under the action of a homogeneous gravitational field is developed. With this model, small vibrations of the hydroelastic system are studied. The mathematical formulation of the contact relations on the interface used is invariant to the curvilinear coordinates system introduced on the interface and is based on equations in vector form. A variational principle of mixed type is formulated which permits creating necessary prerequisites for finite-element models to be efficiently used to solve the problem and for the development of appropriate algorithms. An example of a liquid-solid system is studied which is sensitive to the proper consideration of the interaction factors determined by the action of the gravitational field.

On variational formulations with rigid-body constraints for finite elasticity: Applications to 2D and 3D finite element simulations

We investigate a recently proposed variational principle with rigid-body constraints and present an extension of its implementation in three dimensional finite elasticity problems. Through numerical examples, we illustrate that the proposed variational principle with rigid-body constraints is applicable to both single field and mixed finite elements of arbitrary order and geometry, e.g. triangular/tetrahedral and quadrilateral/hexagonal elements, in two and three dimensions. Moreover, we demonstrate that, as compared to the commonly adopted approach of discretizing the rigid domains with standard finite elements, the proposed formulation requires neither discretization nor numerical integration in the interior of each rigid domain. As a comparative result, the variational formulation may reduce the total number of degrees of freedom of the resulting finite element system and provide improved accuracy.

We consider a viscoelastic–viscoplastic continuum damage model for polycrystalline ice. The focus lies on the thermodynamics particularities of such a constitutive model and restrictions on the constitutive theory which are implied by the entropy principle. We use Müller’s formulation of the entropy principle, together with Liu’s method of exploiting it with the aid of Lagrange multipliers.

A variational formulation for nonlocal damage models

To control localization phenomena exhibited by strain softening constitutive relations, several issues have been proposed by various authors, based on spatial regularization. In this paper, we define a variational framework, thought to encompass some of these issues: the constitutive relations are written at the structural scale and become minimization problems. Such a framework is not only well-suited to the mathematical study of the boundary value problem, but also leads in a natural way to an efficient numerical algorithm. The formulation is first presented, then applied to several classes of models existing in the literature : a homogenization-based constitutive relation, a porosity model and gradient plasticity. Besides the higher degree of generality confered by the formulation, it will be shown that several properties can be obtained for these models.     

Energy principles in theory of elastic materials with voids

According to the basic idea of dual-complementarity, in a simple and unified way proposed by the author^[1], various energy principles in theory of elastic materials with voids can be established systematically. In this paper, an important integral relation is given, which can be considered essentially as the generalized pr. inciple of virtual work. Based on this relation, it is possible not only to obtain the principle of virtual work and the reciprocal theorem of work in theory of elastic materials with voids, but also to derive systematically the complementary functionals for the eight-field, six-field, four-field and two-field generalized variational principles, and the principle of minimum potential and complementary energies. Furthermore, with this appro ach, the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly. The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China
