Unconventional Hamilton-type variational principles for nonlinear elastodynamics of orthogonal cable-net structures

According to the basic idea of classical yin-yang complementarity and modem dual-complementarity,in a simple and unified new way proposed by Luo,the unconven- tional Hamilton-type variational principles for geometrically nonlinear elastodynamics of orthogonal cable-net structures are established systematically,which can fully charac- terize the initial-boundary-value problem of this kind of dynamics.An important in- tegral relation is made,which can be considered as the generalized principle of virtual work for geometrically nonlinear dynamics of orthogonal cable-net structures in mechan- ics.Based on such relationship,it is possible not only to obtain the principle of virtual work for geometrically nonlinear dynamics of orthogonal cable-net structures,but also to derive systematically the complementary functionais for five-field,four-field,three-field and two-field unconventional Hamilton-type variational principles,and the functional for the unconventional Hamilton-type variational principle in phase space and the poten- tial energy functional for one-field unconventional Hamilton-type variational principle for geometrically nonlinear elastodynamics of orthogonal cable-net structures by the general- ized Legendre transformation given in this paper.Furthermore,the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly with this approach.     

Extensions of Appell's and Tzènoff's equations to general nonholonomic systems

In this paper we present a new variational principle, from which Gauss principle can be derived as a corollary. By using the new principle, Appell's and Tzènoff's equations are extended to nonholonomic systems of any order. As an example, a second order nonholonomic system is given to illustrate the application of the equations obtained.     

用有限元广义混合法分析不可压缩或几乎不可压缩弹性体

不可压缩或几乎不可压缩问题在数学上表现为最小 势能原理中的某些项趋于无穷大,使得有限元方程产生病态。本文给出了不可压缩或几乎不可压缩弹性分析的广义混合变分原理,以此为基础建立了该类问题的有限元广义混合法。该变分原理的泛函中不含有上面这种奇异项,故其有限元方程不会产生病态。算例表明该有限元法可以同时进行可压缩、不可压缩或几乎不可压缩弹性分析,且精度良好;有限元常规位移法及Hermann法是该法的特例。     

Gurtin变分原理在矩形板动力初值问题中的应用

结构动力分析是工程设计中的重要组成部分,传统动力分析方法并不能全面反映动力初值特征,而Ｇｕｒｔｉｎ变分原理则被认为是目前唯一能全面反映动力初值特征的变分原理。本文基于位移型Ｇｕｒｔｉｎ变分原理,对空间和时间同时离散,建立了一种求解板的动力初值问题的时空有限元法,并对两种边界情况板的振动问题进行了编程计算,计算结果表明时空元法精确度很高且稳定收敛。

物理变分原理及其在电磁介质中的应用

和数学变分原理的意义不同,物理变分原理是物理界的客观规律,是基本规律.热力学定律是能量守恒定律,指任一自然过程的能量总是守恒的;但同时又是物理变分原理,指从一种状态变化到另一无限接近的状态,在所有可能的稳定过程中,真实过程的能量取极小值,因而又是动量定律.特别是对于存在迁移变分的过程和偏离平衡态不大的不可逆过程,物理变分原理特别有效,可以用来推求连续介质的控制方程,且尚未完全研究透彻.本文对这一原理及其在电磁介质中的某些应用进行了一些研究.     

弹性力学广义混合变分原理及有限元广义混合法

近些年弹性力学中出现一种新型的变分原理,称为广义混合变分原理.特点是其泛函中包含某些可以任意选择的附加函数,称为分裂因子.新原理将弹性理论中现有的各主要变分原理都统一在一个框架中,并揭示出它们之间更深一层的相互关系.在应用方面,它提供了一个新的数学手段以建立有限元分析中的新模式.这些新模式已经显示出它们的优点:适当调节分裂因子,它们给出更好的数值解答,特别是,可用它们来处理有限元方法中棘手的病态问题.本文综述了线性及非线性弹性理论中的这种新型变分原理并就其在有限元中的应用作了讨论.      

On variational features of vortex flows

Ideal incompressible fluid is a Hamiltonian system which possesses an infinite number of integrals, the circulations of velocity over closed fluid contours. This allows one to split all the degrees of freedom into the driving ones and the “slave” ones, the latter to be determined by the integrals of motions. The “slave” degrees of freedom correspond to “potential part” of motion, which is driven by vorticity. Elimination of the “slave” degrees of freedom from equations of ideal incompressible fluid yields a closed system of equations for dynamics of vortex lines. This system is also Hamiltonian. The variational principle for this system was found recently (Berdichevsky in Thermodynamics of chaos and order, Addison-Wesly-Longman, Reading, 1997; Kuznetsov and Ruban in JETP Lett 67, 1076–1081, 1998). It looks striking, however. In particular, the fluid motion is set to be compressible, while in the least action principle of fluid mechanics the incompressibility of motion is a built-in property. This striking feature is explained in the paper, and a link between the variational principle of vortex line dynamics and the least action principle is established. Other points made in this paper are concerned with steady motions. Two new variational principles are proposed for steady vortex flows. Their relation to Arnold’s variational principle of steady vortex motion is discussed.      

More generalized hybrid variational principle and corresponding finite element model

According to recent studies of the generalized variational principle by Professor Chien Weizang, the more generalized hybrid variational principle for finite element method is given, from which a new kind of the generalized hybrid element model is etablished.Using the thin plate bending element with varying thickness as an example, we compare various hybrid elements based on different generalized variational principles.     

A convolution-type semi-analytic DQ approach to transient response of rectangular plates

The convolution-type Gurtin variational principle is known as the only variational principle that is, from the mathematics point of view, totally equivalent to the initial value problem system. In this paper, the equation of motion of rectangular thin plates is first transformed to a new governing equation containing initial conditions by using a convolution method. A convolution-type semi-analytical DQ approach, which involves differential quadrature （DQ） approximation in the space domain and an analytical series expansion in the time domain, is proposed to obtain the transient response solution. This approach offers the same advantages as the Gurtin variational principle and, at the same time, is much simpler in calculation. Numerical results show that it is very accurate yet computationally efficient for the dynamic response of plates.

UNCONVENTIONAL GURTIN-TYPE VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES FOR FINITE DEFORMATION 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 Gurtin-type variational prinicples for finite deformation elastodynamics can be established systemati-cally.In this paper,an important integral relation in terms of convolution is given,which canbe considered as the expression of the generalized principle of virtual work for finite deformationdynamics.Based on this relation,it is possible not only to obtain the principle of virtual work forfinite deformation dynamics,but also to derive systematically the complementary functionals forfive-field,three-field,two-field and one-field unconventional Gurtin-type variational principles bythe generalized Legendre transformations given in this paper.Furthermore,with this approach,the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be clearly explained.

Unified theory of variation principles in non-linear theory of elasticity

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and to discuss several main variation principles in nonlinear theory of elasticity——namely the classic potential energy principle, complementary energyprinciple, and other two complementary energy principles (Levinson principle and Fraeijs de Veu-beke principle) which are widely discussed in recent literatures. At the same time, the generalized variational principles are given also for all these principles. In this paper, systematic derivation and rigorous proof are given to these variational principles on the unified bases of principle of virtual work, and the intrinsic relations between these principles are also indicated. It is shown that, these principles have unified bases, and their differences are solely due to the adoption of different variables and Legendre tarnsformation. Thus, various variational principles constitute an organized totality in an unified frame. For those variational principles not discussed in this paper, the same frame can also be used, a diagram is given to illustrate the interrelationships between these principles.

A method for establishing generalized variational principle

A method for establishing generalized variational principle is proposed in this paper. It is based on the analysis of mechanical meaning and it can be applied to problems in which the variational principles are needed but no corresponding variational principle is available. In this paper, the Hu-Washizu ’s generalized variational principle and the Hu’s generalized principle of complementary energy are derived from the mechanical meaning instead of from the generalization of the principle of minimum potenlial energy and the correct proofs of these two generaleed variational principles are given. It is also proved that this is wrong if one beleives that σ_ij, e_ij and ui are independent variables each other based on the reason that these three kinds of variables are all contained in these two generalized variational principles. The condition of using these two variational principles in a correct manner is also explained.
