Principle of correspondence of static boundary-value problems of nonlinear viscoelasticity with aging to boundary-value problems of the theory of elasticity

The principle of correspondence of boundary-value problems of the nonlinear nonuniform anisotropic theory of viscoelasticity to boundary-value problems of the theory of elasticity is formulated. The correspondence is established by means of integral transforms with previously unknown kernels. A class of viscoelastic materials for which these transforms can be reduced to boundary-value problems of fictitious elasticity is determined. Samara State Aerospace University, Samara 443086.

Numerical solution of finite geometry boundary-value problems in nonlinear magnetoelasticity

This paper provides examples of the numerical solution of boundary-value problems in nonlinear magnetoelasticity involving finite geometry based on the theoretical framework developed by Dorfmann and co-workers. Specifically, using a prototype constitutive model for isotropic magnetoelasticity, we consider two two-dimensional problems for a block with rectangular cross-section and of infinite extent in the third direction. In the first problem the deformation induced in the block by the application of a uniform magnetic field far from the block and normal to its larger faces without mechanical load is examined, while in the second problem the same magnetic field is applied in conjunction with a shearing deformation produced by in-plane shear stresses on its larger faces. For each problem the distribution of the magnetic field throughout the block and the surrounding space is illustrated graphically, along with the corresponding deformation of the block. The rapidly (in space) changing magnitude of the magnetic field in the neighbourhood of the faces of the block is highlighted.     

Exact solutions of boundary-value problems for nonlinear flow in porous media

Exact solutions for flow problems in porous media with a limiting gradient in the case when the flow region in the hodograph plane is a half-strip with a longitudinal cut [1] are known only for two models of the resistance law [2–6]. The present study gives a one-parameter family of flow laws, and argues the possibility of effective determination of exact and approximate analytical solutions on the basis of successive reduction to boundary-value problems for the Laplace equation or for the equation studied in detail in [1]. It should be noted that the characteristics of the flow are determined without additional quadratures.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 107–112, May–June, 1985.     

On approximate solution of boundary-value problems by the least squares method

Using the least squares method, we construct a new iterative procedure for finding solutions of a weakly nonlinear boundary-value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations in the critical case in the form of an expansion of a solution in a generalized Fourier polynomial in the neighborhood of the generating solution. We obtain an estimate for the range of values of the small parameter for which this iterative procedure converges to the required solution.

On the solution of plane boundary-value problems of elasticity in a rectangle

An algorithm for solving plane boundary-value problems of elasticity for a rectangular domain is expounded. The algorithm is based on a complex-valued representation of the general solution to the differential equations of the plane problem and on the use of Lagrange polynomials to satisfy the boundary conditions. The algorithm can quite easily be implemented in a computer program. This is probably the simplest way of solving boundary-value problems of this class __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 1, pp. 97–102, January 2006.

On the solution of three-dimensional boundary-value problems for layered bodies with nonplanar interfaces

The interfaces play an important role in various buildup bodies, and also in the composite materials and structural elements. Special monographs [7, 8] have been devoted to this question, presenting the results of scientific studies of the physical and chemical phenomena on the interfaces, the mechanical behavior, and the role of the interfaces in the damage processes, and also their influence on the basic mechanical properties of the composites. In many cases the interfaces deviate from the ideal geometric shapes: planar (in the layered composites), circular cylindrical (in the fibrous composites), and spherical (in the granular composites). Numerous theoretical and experimental studies confirm this. Thus, in the explosive welding of metals (and nonmetals) there form wavy surfaces, the sections of which may be close to sinusoids, for example in the welding of niobium and copper [9]. If the densities of the materials differ significantly, then the sinusoidal nature of the interface distorts as illustrated in [12] for the example of the welding of lead and steel. In addition, in view of the nature of the technological processes [10] the interfaces may become curved in the layered composite materials and deviate locally or periodically from the ideal coordinate planes. Theoretical and experimental studies have shown that the shape of the interface has a significant influence on the physical and mechanical processes and phenomena (bond strength, stress concentration, wave diffraction, thermal conduction, and so on). Numerous publications that are cited in the survey works [1, 3, 11] confirm this. A second variant of the boundary shape perturbation method was developed in [4, 5] for the solution of the three-dimensional boundary-value problems for nonorthogonal surfaces that are close to the coordinate planes. It was assumed that the equations of the interfaces are linear relative to the small parameter characterizing the degree of deviation from the coordinate planes. This narrowed significantly the class of the examined boundary-value problems and their practical importance. In the present work we examine the three-dimensional boundary-value problems of the mechanics of layered bodies with interfaces that are described by nonlinear equations relative to a small parameter. We construct in general form the recurrence relations and the differential operators of the boundary conditions, making it possible to solve the three-dimensional boundary-value problems with the accuracy that is required for applications. We examine particular cases and present one of the possible criteria for evaluating the accuracy of the approximate solutions that are obtained with the aid of the described variant of the boundary shape perturbation method.S.

On the treatment of nonlinear unilateral contact problems

Summary This paper is concerned with finite deformations of elastic bodies in the presence of unilateral constraints. The penalty formulation is applied to introduce the contact constraints. We develop special isoparametric contact elements. Starting from their Gaussian points the distance between the body and the obstacle is determined, where the obstacle is given as aC ² continuous function. Variation and subsequent consistent linearization yield the tangent matrix of the contact elements in its general form, which can be incorporated into standard finite element schemes.

Zur Behandlung nichtlinearer unilateraler Kontaktprobleme

Übersicht Es wird das Kontaktverhalten eines deformierbaren Körpers beschrieben, der endliche Deformationen erfährt, wenn er auf ein starres Hindernis gedrückt wird. Dabei findet die Penalty-Formulierung Anwendung. Zur Kontakterkennung werden isoparametrische Kontaktelemente verwendet. Ausgehend von deren Gausspunkten wird der Abstand des Körpers zum Hindernis bestimmt, das alsC ²-stetige Funktion beschrieben wird. Variation und anschließende konsistente Linearisierung liefern die Tangentenmatrix für die Kontaktelemente in allgemeiner Form, die dann in ein standardmäßiges Finit-Element-Programm eingebaut werden kann.

     

On initial boundary-value problems for symmetric nonhyperbolic systems of partial differential equations

We obtain examples of continuous maps of initial boundary-value problem data into approximate solutions of symmetric, linear, nonhyperbolic first-order systems of partial differential equations. This discussion is motivated by recurring hyperbolicity failure in models of two-fluid flow, and provides a possible means of evaluating the validity of the underlying physical and mathematical assumptions in the limit of vanishing viscosity.This work was completed while the author was visiting at The Fields Institute, Toronto, Canada.
