Unconventional Hamilton-type variational principles for electromagnetic elastodynamics

According to the basic idea of classical yin-yang complementarity and modern dual-complementarity, in a simple and unified new way proposed by Luo, the unconventional Hamilton-type variational principles for electromagnetic elastodynamics can be established systematically. This new variational principles can fully characterize the initial-boundary-value problem of this dynamics. In this paper, the expression of the generalized principle of virtual work for electromagnetic dynamics is given. Based on this equation, it is possible not only to obtain the principle of virtual work in electromagnetic dynamics, but also to derive systematically the complementary functionals for eleven-field, nine-field and six-field unconventional Hamilton-type variational principles for electromagnetic elastodynamics, and the potential energy functionals for four-field and three-field ones by the generalized Legendre transformation given in this paper. Furthermore, with this approach, the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly.     

Some basic principles for the linear theory of piezoelectric micropolar elastodynamics

According to the basic idea of classical yin-yang complementarity and modern dual-complementarity,in a simple and unified way proposed by Luo,some basic principles in the linear theory of piezoelectric micropolar elastodynamics can be established systematically. In this paper,an important integral relation in terms of convolutions is given,which can be considered as the generalized principle of virtual work in mechanics. Based on this relation,it is not only possible to obtain the principle of virtual work and the reciprocal theorem,but also to systematically derive the complementary functionals for the eleven-field,nine-field and six-field simplified Gurtin-type variational principles and the potential energy-functional for the three-field one in the linear theory of piezoelectric micropolar elastodynamics by the generalized Legendre transformations given in this paper.

Some basic principles in dynamic theory of viscoelastic materials with voids

According to the basic idea of classical yin-yang complementarity and modern dual-complementarity, in a simple and unified way proposed by Luo, some basic principles in the dynamic theory of viscoelastic materials with voids can be estab- lished systematically. In this paper, an important integral relation in terms of con- volutions 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 and the reciprocal theorem, but also to derive systemati- cally the complementary functionals for the eight-field, six-field, four-field simpli- fied Gurtin-type variational principles and the potential energy-functional for the two-field one in the dynamic theory of viscoelastic materials with voids by the generalized Legendre transformations given in this paper. Furthermore, with this approach, the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly.     

Unconventional Hamilton-type variational principle in phase space and symplectic algorithm

By a novel approach proposed by Luo, the unconventional Hamilton-type variational principle in phase space for elastodynamics of multidegree-of-freedom system is established in this paper. It not only can fully characterize the initial-value problem of this dynamic, but also has a natural symplectic structure. Based on this variational principle, a symplectic algorithm which is called a symplectic time-subdomain method is proposed. A non-difference scheme is constructed by applying Lagrange interpolation polynomial to the time subdomain. Furthermore, it is also proved that the presented symplectic algorithm is an unconditionally stable one. From the results of the two numerical examples of different types, it can be seen that the accuracy and the computational efficiency of the new method excel obviously those of widely used Wilson-θ and Newmark-β methods. Therefore, this new algorithm is a highly efficient one with better computational performance.

Conservation laws of nonconservative nonholonomic system based on Herglotz variational problem

The generalized variational principle of Herglotz type provides a variational method for describing nonconservative or dissipative processes. The purpose of this letter is to extend this variational principle to a first order linear nonholonomic system and study the conservation laws of the nonconservative nonholonomic system based on Herglotz variational problem. A new differential variational principle of the nonconservative nonholonomic system is proposed, which is based on Herglotz variational problem. And the differential equations of motion of the system are also obtained. Then, according to the condition for the invariance of the differential variational principle, the conservation theorem based on Herglotz variational problem for the nonconservative nonholonomic system are obtained. The theorem contains the conservation theorem of the nonconservative holonomic system as its special case, which can be reduced to the first Noether's theorem based on Herglotz variational problem under proper conditions. The inverse theorem of the conservation theorem is also provided and proved. An example is given to illustrate the application at the end of this letter.

A new type of adiabatic invariants for disturbed Birkhoffian system of Herglotz type

The generalized variational principle of Herglotz type provides an effective way to study the problems of conservative and non-conservative systems in a unified way. According to the differential variational principle of Herglotz type, we study the adiabatic invariants for a disturbed Birkhoffian system in this paper. Firstly, the differential equations of motion of the Birkhoffian system based upon this variational principle are given, and the exact invariant of Herglotz type of the system is introduced. Secondly, a new type of adiabatic invariants for the system under the action of small perturbation is obtained. Thirdly, the inverse theorem of adiabatic invariant for the disturbed Birkhoffian system of Herglotz type is obtained. Finally, an example is given.     

A variational perturbation approximation method in Tsallis non-extensive statistical physics

For the generalized statistical mechanics based on the Tsallis entropy, a variational perturbation approximation method with the principle of minimal sensitivity is developed by calculating the generalized free energy up to the third order in variational perturbation expansion. The approximation up to the first order amounts to a variational approach which covers the variational method developed by E.K. Lenzi, L.C. Malacarne, R.S. Mendes [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80 (1998) 218] and the approximations up to higher orders can systematically improve variational results. As an illustrated example, the generalized free energy for a classical harmonic oscillator (considered in the Lenzi's joint work) are calculated up to the third order, and the resultant approximations up to the first, second, and third orders are numerically compared with the exact result.     

Lagrangian theoretical framework of dynamics of nonholonomic systems

By the generalized variational principle of two kinds of variables in general mechanics, it was demonstrated that two Lagrangian classical relationships can be applied to both holonomic systems and nonholonomic systems. And the restriction that two Lagrangian classical relationships cannot be applied to nonholonomic systems for a long time was overcome. Then, one important formula of similar Lagrangian classical relationship called the popularized Lagrangian classical relationship was derived. From Vakonomic model, by two Lagrangian classical relationships and the popularized Lagrangian classical relationship, the result is the same with Chetaev's model, and thus Chetaev's model and Vakonomic model were unified. Simultaneously, the Lagrangian theoretical framework of dynamics of nonholonomic system was established. By some representative examples, it was validated that the Lagrangian theoretical framework of dynamics of nonholonomic systems is right.

Evolution of self-organizing systems from the standpoint of mechanics and thermodynamics

The extension of the principle of least action for many-particle systems has shown that the natural evolution of processes in the environment is governed largely by kinetic-to-potential energy conversion. A relation with the variational principles of nonequilibrium thermodynamics is established. It is shown that the birth and aging of structures are controlled by the principle of minimization of the integral Lagrangian, the role of which in mechanics is not less significant than the role of the law of degradation of energy (the second law of thermodynamics) in thermodynamics.     

On the static and kinetic methods of conservative system stability,and Rayleigh's principle: A reexamination

The relation between the static and kinetic variational methods of the stability of equilibrium analysis of conservative systems and the corresponding static and kinetic Rayleigh's principles is reexamined. Specifically made explicit are the connections between (i) the virtual work principle (for the adjacent equilibrium configuration) and Rayleigh's principle of extremum critical loads and buckled modes, and (ii) Hamilton's principle (for the adjacent non-equilibrium configuration) and Rayleigh's principle of extremum frequencies and mode shapes, through simple familiar examples. These connections are found by considering, in addition to the familiar mode amplitude variations, variations of the load which in turn produce variations in the space (i) and time (ii) domain lengths, respectively; one is thus led to a variable endpoints variational problem (instead of the customary fixed endpoints one) which, by invoking the energetics of these adjacent configurations, is simplified and finally brought to the standard Rayleigh's principle form.     

热传导中的变分原理

采用力学中建立最小势能原理和最小余能原理的加权余量法,分别得到了热传导中势能型与余能型的变分原理。通过对势能型变分原理的分析发现,对于可逆的导热过程,“力”(热流)在“位移”(温度)上做的“功”完全转换为物体的“势能”,即热量传递势容。而在不可逆的稳态导热过程中,这个势能完全被耗散掉了,成为传递势容耗散。对于非稳态导热过程,则类似于粘弹性物体,热流在温度位移上做的“功”一部分转换为物体的传递势容,而另外一部分成为传递势容的耗散。
