Incremental Variational Principles in Damage Mechanics

We propose a new kind of damage formulation which leads, in connection with relaxation techniques known in literature, to a well posed problem suitable for finite element calculations. The model is rate‐dependent and allows a consistent treatment of micro‐structures and localization phenomena.     

A Geometrically Exact Incremental Variational Formulation for Phase Field Models in Micromagnetics

Magnetic materials have been finding increasingly wide areas of application. We focus here on the continuum modeling of such materials and present an incremental variational principle for a dissipative micro-magneto-elastic model. It describes the quasi-static evolution of both magnetically as well as mechanically driven magnetic domains, which also incorporates the surrounding free space. Furthermore, the algorithmic preservation of the geometrical nature of the variables is an important challenge from the numerical perspective and to this end we present a novel FE discretization whereby the geometric property of the magnetization director is pointwise exactly preserved by nonlinear rotational updates at the nodes.

Ergodicity for Nonlinear Stochastic Equations in Variational Formulation

This paper is concerned with nonlinear partial differential equations of the calculus of variation (see [13]) perturbed by noise. Well-posedness of the problem was proved by Pardoux in the seventies (see [14]), using monotonicity methods. The aim of the present work is to investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the corresponding transition semigroup P_t. We show existence and, under suitable assumptions, uniqueness of an ergodic invariant measure ν. Moreover, we solve the Kolmogorov equation and prove the so-called "identite du carre du champs". This will be used to study the Sobolev space W^1,2(H,ν) and to obtain information on the domain of the infinitesimal generator of P_t.     

On a Generalized System for Relaxed Cocoercive Variational Inequalities and Projection Methods

Verma introduced a system of nonlinear variational inequalities and proposed projection methods to solve it. This system reduces to a variational inequality problem under certain conditions. So, at least in form, it can be regarded as a extension of a variational inequality problem. In this note, we show that solving this system coincides exactly with solving a variational inequality problem. Therefore, we conclude that it suffices to study the corresponding variational inequalities.This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Grant 10571134.Communicated by M.

Theory and Numerics of Rate-Dependent Incremental Variational Formulations in Ferroelectricity

This paper is concerned with macroscopic continuous and discrete variational formulations for domain switching effects at small strains, which occur in ferroelectric ceramics. The developed new three–dimensional model is thermodynamically–consistent and determined by two scalar–valued functions: the energy storage function (Helmholtz free energy) and the dissipation function, which is in particular rate–dependent. The constitutive model successfully reproduces the ferroelastic and the ferroelectric hysteresis as well as the butterfly hysteresis for ferroelectric ceramics. The rate–dependent character of the dissipation function allows us also to reproduce the experimentally observed rate dependency of the above mentioned hysteresis phenomena. An important aspect is the numerical implementation of the coupled problem. The discretization of the two–field problem appears, as a consequence of the proposed incremental variational principle, in a symmetric format. The performance of the proposed methods is demonstrated by means of a benchmark problem. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A Boundary Integral Formulation for Poroelastic Materials

Wave propagation in porous media is an important topic, e.g. in geomechanics or the oil-industry. We formulate a linear system of coupled partial differential equations based on Biot's theory with the solid displacements and the pore pressure as the primary unknowns. To solve this system of coupled partial differential equations in a semi-infinite homogeneous domain the BEM (Boundary element method) is especially suitable. Starting from a representation formula a system of two boundary integral equations is derived. These boundary integral equations are used to solve related boundary value problems via a direct approach. Coercivity of the resulting bilinear form is shown, from which unique solvability of the variational formulation follows from injectivity. Using these results we derive the unique solvability of the related boundary integral equations. (© 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
