Thermal Analysis of Free‐Corner Effects in Cross‐Ply Plates by a Higher‐Order Theory Approach

Stresses in the vicinity of free edges and corners of composite laminates exhibit a distinct localized three‐dimensional behaviour [1] and thus represent an important technical situation. Since numerical analyses of stress concentration phenomena in layered structures are computationally expensive, the present contribution is devoted to a simple closed‐form higher‐order theory approach for the calculation of displacements, strains and stresses in the vicinity of a rectangular corner of symmetric cross‐ply laminates under uniform thermal load ΔT. An appropriate representation for the displacement field in the form of a single‐layer theory with unknown inplane components and appropriately assumed functions through the plate thickness yields closed‐form expressions for the strains and stresses throughout the whole laminate. Equilibrium and boundary conditions are fulfilled in an integral sense. The present approach is easily applied, is of a completely closed‐form analytic nature and requires only little computational effort. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

A Regularized Hybrid Steepest Descent Method for Variational Inclusions

This article is concerned with a generalization of the hybrid steepest descent method from variational inequalities to the multivalued case. This will be reached by replacing the multivalued operator by its Yosida approximate, which is always Lipschitz continuous. It is worth mentioning that the hybrid steepest descent method is an algorithmic solution to variational inequality problems over the fixed point set of certain nonexpansive mappings and has remarkable applicability to the constrained nonlinear inverse problems like image recovery and MIMO communication systems (see, e.g., [9 I. Yamada , M. Yukawa , and M. Yamagishi ( 2011 ). Minimizing the moreau envelope of nonsmooth convex functions over the fixed point set of certain quasi-nonexpansive mappings .

A Variational Model for Dislocations at Semi-coherent Interfaces

We propose and analyze a simple variational model for dislocations at semi-coherent interfaces. The energy functional describes the competition between two terms: a surface energy induced by dislocations and a bulk elastic energy, spent to decrease the amount of dislocations needed to compensate the lattice misfit. We prove that, for minimizers, the former scales like the surface area of the interface, the latter like its diameter. The proposed continuum model is built on some explicit computations done in the framework of the semi-discrete theory of dislocations. Even if we deal with finite elasticity, linearized elasticity naturally emerges in our analysis since the far-field strain vanishes as the interface size increases.     

A New Hybrid Generalized Proximal Point Algorithm for Variational Inequality Problems

In this paper, we propose a modified Bregman-function-based proximal point algorithm for solving variational inequality problems. The algorithm adopts a similar constructive approximate criterion as the one developed by Solodov and Svaiter (Set Valued Analysis 7 (1999) 323) for solving the classical proximal subproblems. Under some suitable conditions, we can get an approximate solution satisfying the accuracy criterion via a single Newton-type step. We obtain the Fejér monotonicity to solutions of VIP for paramonotone operators. Some preliminary computational results are also reported to illustrate the method.     

Convergence of Hybrid Steepest-Descent Methods for Variational Inequalities

Assume that F is a nonlinear operator on a real Hilbert space H which is -strongly monotone and -Lipschitzian on a nonempty closed convex subset C of H. Assume also that C is the intersection of the fixed point sets of a finite number of nonexpansive mappings on H. We devise an iterative algorithm which generates a sequence (x _n ) from an arbitrary initial point x ₀H. The sequence (x _n ) is shown to converge in norm to the unique solution u* of the variational inequality

Convergence Analysis of Modified Hybrid Steepest-Descent Methods with Variable Parameters for Variational Inequalities

Assume that F is a nonlinear operator on a real Hilbert space H which is η-strongly monotone and κ-Lipschitzian on a nonempty closed convex subset C of H. Assume also that C is the intersection of the fixed-point sets of a finite number of nonexpansive mappings on H. We construct an iterative algorithm with variable parameters which generates a sequence {x _n } from an arbitrary initial point x ₀ ∊ H.

A Generalized Nonclassical Model of Stress-Strain State in the Problems of Statics,Dynamics, and Contact Interaction of Layered Plates and Shells

A new generalized two-dimensional nonclassical model for the dynamic stress-strain state of layered anisotropic plates and shallow shells is constructed. A feature of the model is the complete account of the factors which represent the spatial character of their deformation; in particular, the transverse shear and transverse compression strains as well as the geometrical nonlinearity and dynamic action of the load are accounted for.     

Variational iteration method for solving the space‐ and time‐fractional KdV equation

This paper presents numerical solutions for the space‐ and time‐fractional Korteweg–de Vries equation (KdV for short) using the variational iteration method. The space‐ and time‐fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. In this method, general Lagrange multipliers are introduced to construct correction functionals for the problems. The multipliers in the functionals can be identified optimally via variational theory. The iteration method, which produces the solutions in terms of convergent series with easily computable components, requiring no linearization or small perturbation. The numerical results show that the approach is easy to implement and accurate when applied to space‐ and time‐fractional KdV equations. The method introduces a promising tool for solving many space–time fractional partial differential equations. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2007     

Variational Formula for the Time Constant of First‐Passage Percolation

We consider first‐passage percolation with positive, stationary‐ergodic weights on the square lattice ?^d. Let T(x) be the first‐passage time from the origin to a point x in ?^d. The convergence of the scaled first‐passage time T([nx])/n to the time constant as n → ∞ can be viewed as a problem of homogenization for a discrete Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Bellman (HJB) equation. We derive an exact variational formula for the time constant and construct an explicit iteration that produces a minimizer of the variational formula (under a symmetry assumption). We explicitly identify when the iteration produces correctors.© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Corner asymptotics of the magnetic potential in the eddy‐current model

In this paper, we describe the magnetic potential in the vicinity of a corner of a conducting body embedded in a dielectric medium in a bidimensional setting. We make explicit the corner asymptotic expansion for this potential as the distance to the corner goes to zero. This expansion involves singular functions and singular coefficients. We introduce a method for the calculation of the singular functions near the corner, and we provide two methods to compute the singular coefficients: the method of moments and the method of quasi‐dual singular functions. Estimates for the convergence of both approximate methods are proven. We eventually illustrate the theoretical results with finite element computations. The specific nonstandard feature of this problem lies in the structure of its singular functions: They have the form of series whose first terms are harmonic polynomials, and further terms are genuine nonsmooth functions generated by the piecewise constant zeroth order term of the operator.

Variational formulations for scattering in a three‐dimensional acoustic waveguide

Variational formulations for direct time‐harmonic scattering problems in a three‐dimensional waveguide are formulated and analyzed. We prove that the operators defined by the corresponding forms satisfy a Gårding inequality in adequately chosen spaces of test and trial functions and depend analytically on the wavenumber except at the modal numbers of the waveguide. It is also shown that these operators are strictly coercive if the wavenumber is small enough. It follows that these scattering problems are uniquely solvable except possibly for an infinite series of exceptional values of the wavenumber with no finite accumulation point. Furthermore, two geometric conditions for an obstacle are given, under which uniqueness of solution always holds in the case of a Dirichlet problem. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
