Method of high-order lagrange multiplier and generalized variational principles of elasticity with more general forms of functionals

It is known[1]that the minimum principles of potential energy andcomplementary energy are the conditional variation principles underrespective conditions of constraints.By means of the method of La-grange multipliers,we are able to reduce the functionals of condi-tional variation principles to new functionals of non-conditionalvariation principles.This method can be described as follows:Mul-tiply undetermined Lagrange multipliers by various constraints,andadd these products to the original functionals.Considering these un-determined Lagrange multipliers and the original variables in thesenew functionals as independent variables of variation,we can see thatthe stationary conditions of these functionals give these undeter-mined Lagrange multipliers in terms of original variables.The sub-stitutions of these results for Lagrange multipliers into the abovefunctionals lead to the functionals of these non-conditional varia-tion principles.However,in certain cases,some of the undetermined Lagrangemultipliers ma

Note on the critical variational state in elasticity theory

Recently Prof. Chien Wei-zang pointed out that in certain cases, by means of ordinary Lagrange multiplier method, some of undetermined Lagrange multipliers may turn out to be zero during variation. This is a critical state of variation. In this critical state, the corresponding variational constraint can not be eliminated by means of simple Lagrange multiplier method. This is indeed the case when one tries to eliminate the constraint condition of strain-stress relation in variational principle of minimum complementary energy by the method of Lagrange multiplier.By means of Lagrange multiplier method, one can only derive, from minimum complementary energy principle, the Hellinger-Reissner Principle, in which only two type of in-dependent variables, stresses and displacements, exist in the new functional. Hence Prof. Chien introduced the high-order Lagrang multiplier method bu adding the quadratic terms.to original functions. The purpose of this paper is to show that by adding to original functionals one     

Method of integro-differential relations in linear elasticity

Boundary-value problems in linear elasticity can be solved by a method based on introducing integral relations between the components of the stress and strain tensors. The original problem is reduced to the minimization problem for a nonnegative functional of the unknown displacement and stress functions under some differential constraints. We state and justify a variational principle that implies the minimum principles for the potential and additional energy under certain boundary conditions and obtain two-sided energy estimates for the exact solutions. We use the proposed approach to develop a numerical analytic algorithm for determining piecewise polynomial approximations to the functions under study. For the problems on the extension of a free plate made of two different materials and bending of a clamped rectangular plate on an elastic support, we carry out numerical simulation and analyze the results obtained by the method of integro-differential relations.

论拉氏乘子法及其唯一性问题

本文指出文[13](1985)对于拉氏乘子法的最近论点仍旧是先验的,并不是国际上大家所公认而又证实了的“古老的数学概念”(1983),该文所赖以立论的三个实例,都不成立。所说明的,不是象文中所称的那样,“在力学问题中正确应用拉氏乘子法的要点”,恰好相反,文[13]很不正确地应用了拉氏乘子法,从而达到了错误结论,甚至只能求助于所谓“猜谜语“的方法。 本文也指出拉氏乘于是可以根据拉氏乘子法唯一地识別的,文[10]、文[16]说拉氏乘子的不唯一性应是对拉氏乘子法的误解所引起的。 本文讨论的弹性力学问题是非线性弹性体的一般弹性力学问题,其应力应变关系是非线性的,当应变很小可以略去其非线性项时,其结果可以还原为线性弹性体的各种广义变分原理。因此,不论Hellinger-Reissner 原理或胡-鹫原理都是本文所讨论的非线性弹性体的广义变分原理的近似特例。     

Generalized variational principles with several arbitrary parameters and the variable substitution and multiplier method

The functional transformations of variational principles in elasticity are classified as three patterns: Ⅰ relaxation pattern, Ⅱ augmented pattern and III equivalent pattern.On the basis of pattern Ⅲ, the generalized variational principles with several arbitrary parameters are formulated and their functionals are defined. They are: the generalized principle of single variable u with several parameters, the generalized principle of two variables u, σ with several parameters, the generalized principle of two variables u, ε with several parameters, and the generalized principle of three veriables u, ε, σ with several parameters. From these principles, a series of new forms of equivalent functionals can be obtained. When the values of these parameters are properly chosen, a series of finite element models can be formulated.In this paper, the question of losing effectiveness for Lagrange multiplier method is also discussed. In order to "recover" effectiveness for multiplier method, a modified method, namely, the variable substitution and multiplier method, is proposed.     

Variational principles and generalized variational principles for nonlinear elasticity with finite displacement

In a previous paper (1979)^[1], the minimum potential energy principle and stationary complementary energy principle for nonlinear elasticity with finite displacement, together with various complete and incomplete generalized principles were studied. However, the statements and proofs of these principles were not so clearly stated about their constraint conditions and their Euler equations. In somecases, the Euler equations have been mistaken as constraint conditions. For example, the stress displacement relation should be considered as Euler equation in complementary energy principle but have been mistaken as constraint conditions in variation. That is to say, in the above mentioned paper, the number of constraint conditions exceeds the necessary requirement. Furthermore, in all these variational principles, the stress-strain relation never participate in the variation process as constraints, i.e., they may act as a constraint in the sense that, after the set of Euler equations is solved, the stress-strain relation may be used to derive the stresses from known strains, or to derive the strains from known stresses. This point was not clearly mentioned in the previous paper (1979)^[1]. In this paper, the high order Lagrange multiplier method (1983)^[2] is used to construct the corresponding generalized variational principle in more general form. Throughout this paper, V/.V. Novozhilov's results (1958)^[3] for nonlinear elasticity are used.

Classification of variational principles in elasticity

In this paper, variational principels in elasticity are classified according to the differences in the constraints used in these principles. It is shown in a previous paper [4] that the stress-strain relations are the constraint conditions in all these variational principles, and cannot be removed by the method of linear Lagrange multiplier. The other possible constraints are four of them: (1) equations of equilibrium, (2) strain-displacement relations, (3) boundary conditions of given external forces and (4) boundary conditions of given boundary displacements. In variational principles of elasticity, some of them have only one kind of such constraints, some have two kinds or three kinds of constraints and at the most four kinds of constraints. Thus, we have altogether 15 kinds of possible variational principles. However, for every possible variational principle, either the strain energy density or the complementary energy density may be used. Hence, there are altogether 30 classes of functional of variational principles in elasticity. In this paper, all these functionals are tabulated in detail.     

A Recursive Formulation for Constrained Mechanical System Dynamics: Part II. Closed Loop Systems

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A recursive formulation of the equations of motion of constrained mechanical systems with closed loops is derived, using tools of variational and vector calculus. Kinematic couplings between pairs of contiguous bodies presented in Part 1 of this paper are generalized. Lagrange multipliers are introduced to account for the effects of joints that are cut to define a tree structure. Constraint Jacobian terms are added to the reduced variational equations derived in Part I. Cut-joint constraint acceleration equations are derived, to complete the reduced equations of motion. Lagrange multipliers associated with each cut-joint are eliminated at the first junction body encountered that permits closing the loop that constraints in cut joint. The inductive algorithm developed in Part I is used to calculate accelerations for the system. A multi-loop compressor is analyzed to illustrate use of the method.     

Variational principles in elasticity with nonlinear stress-strain relation

Since 1979, a series of papers have been published concerning the variational principles and generalized variational principles in elasticity such as [1] (1979), [6] (1980), [2,3] (1983) and [4,5] (1984). All these papers deal with the elastic body with linear stress-strain relations. In 1985, a book was published on generalized variational principles dealing with some nonlinear elastic body, but never going into detailed discussion. This paper discusses particularly variational principles and generalized variational principles for elastic body with nonlinear stress-strain relations. In these discussions, we find many interesting problems worth while to pay some attention. At the same time, these discussions are also instructive for linear elastic problems. When the strain is small, the high order terms may be neglected, the results of this paper may be simplified to the well-known principles in ordinary elasticity problems.
