Variational approach to contact problems in nonlinear elasticity

We use variational methods to study problems in nonlinear 3-dimensional elasticity where the deformation of the elastic body is restricted by a rigid obstacle. For an assigned variational problem we first verify the existence of constrained minimizers whereby we extend previous results. Then we rigorously derive the Euler-Lagrange equation as necessary condition for minimizers, which was possible before only under strong smoothness assumptions on the solution. The Lagrange multiplier corresponding to the obstacle constraint provides structural information about the nature of frictionless contact. In the case of contact with, e.g., a corner of the obstacle, we derive a qualitatively new contact condition taking into account the deformed shape of the elastic body. By our analysis it is shown here for the first time rigorously that energy minimizers really solve the mechanical contact problem.

On generalized formulation of the equilibrium problem of an elastic strip

A “nonenergetic” formulation of the boundary value problems of statics of an elastic strip based on the principle of admissible displacements, is studied. The formulation makes possible, in particular, the study of problems concerning the strips of infinite energy, while retaining the external form of the “energetic” formulation /1–3/, and produces unique solvability of the problem under weaker restrictions imposed on the external loads. Such a formulation is also possible for other problems of the theory of elasticity.     

On the stability of the natural unstressed state op viscoelastic bodies : PMM vol. 39, n 6, 1975, pp. 1110–1117

Within the framework of the Cauchy problem, a class of models of a linearviscoelastic body subjected to the stability principle of the natural unstressed state state of viscoelastic bodies (Principle Y) is isolated in [1], The principle Y is formulated as follows. Let the boundary conditions be such that the appropriate elasticity theory problem has a zero solution. If a viscoelastic body is free of external loads at each instant t > 0, then for every initial state, strain of the body vanishes as t → ∞. The principle Y is called partial if it is satisfied only for some particular class of viscoelasticity problems. Sufficient conditions for compliance with the partial Y principle are obtained in this paper for models of viscoelastic bodies within the framework of the fundamental initial-boundary value problems for finite bodies.     

The effect of surface elasticity and residual surface stress in an elastic body with an elliptic nanohole

The deformation of an elastic plane with an elliptic hole in a uniform stress field is considered, taking into account the surface elasticity and the residual surface tension. The solution of the problem, based on the use of the linearized Gurtin–Murdoch surface elasticity relations and the complex Goursat–Kolosov potentials, is reduced to a singular integrodifferential equation. Using the example of a circular hole, for which an exact solution of the equation is obtained in closed form, the effect of the residual surface tension and the surface elasticity on the stress state close to and on the boundary of a nanohole is analysed for uniaxial tension. It is shown that the effect of the residual surface stress and the surface tension, due to deformation of the body, depends on the elastic properties of the surface, the value of the stretching load and the dimensions of the hole.     

Incompatible elasticity and the immersion of non-flat Riemannian manifolds in Euclidean space

We study a geometric problem that originates from theories of nonlinear elasticity: given a non-flat n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary, homeomorphic to a bounded subset of ? ⁿ , what is the minimum amount of deformation required in order to immerse it in a Euclidean space of the same dimension? The amount of deformation, which in the physical context is an elastic energy, is quantified by an average over a local metric discrepancy. We derive an explicit lower bound for this energy for the case where the scalar curvature of the manifold is non-negative. For n = 2 we generalize the result for surfaces of arbitrary curvature.     

The pure displacement problem in nonlinear three-dimensional elasticity: intrinsic formulation and existence theorems

In this Note, the equations of nonlinear three-dimensional elasticity corresponding to the pure displacement problem are recast either as a boundary value problem, or as a minimization problem, where the unknown is in both cases the Cauchy–Green strain tensor, instead of the deformation as is customary. We then show that either problem possesses a solution if the applied forces are sufficiently small and the stored energy function satisfies specific hypotheses. The second problem provides an example of a minimization problem for a non-coercive functional over a Banach manifold. To cite this article: P.G. Ciarlet, C. Mardare, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

The stress state of planar surface of a nanometer-sized elastic body under periodic loading

The paper is concerned with the model of an elastic body in the form of a half-plane whose boundary is subjected to periodic loading. It is assumed that there exists an additional surface stress, which is characteristic of nanometer-sized bodies and which obeys the laws of surface elasticity theory. With the use of the boundary properties of analytical functions and the Goursat-Kolosov complex potentials, the boundary value problem in its general setting with an arbitrary load is reduced to a hypersingular integral equation with respect to the derivative of the surface stress. For a periodic load, the solution of this equation is obtained in the form of a Fourier series. The effect of the surface stress upon the stress state of the boundary of the half-plane is examined with independent action of periodically distributed tangential and normal loads. In particular, the size effect was discovered, which is manifested in the dependence of stresses versus the period of loading within several dozens of nanometers. Normal loads are shown to be responsible for tangential stresses on the boundary, which are zero in the classical solution.     

The representation of the displacement gradient of isotropic elastic body in terms of the piola stress tensor : PMM vol. 40, n 6, 1976, pp. 1070–1077

The representation of the displacement gradient of an isotropic elastic body is analyzed. It is shown on the basis of a single controlling inequality and a polar expansion of the Piola tensor that such representation has generally four branches. The mechanical meaning and the nature of that ambiguity is explained. It is established that when the angles of turn of material fibers are not excessively large, only one of the four branches is obtained. Particular cases in which the nature of ambiguity is more complex are investigated. It is noted that in many practical problems the representation of the displacement gradient by the Piola stress tensor is unambiguous.The considered problem is associated with the variational principle of complementary energy in the nonlinear theory of elasticity, where the statistically feasible fields of the asymmetric Piola stress tensor is varied [1], A method was proposed there for expressing the displacement gradient in terms of the Piola stress tensor for an isotropic elastic body. Later the concept of complementary energy and the representation of the strain gradient in terms of the Piola stress tensor were considered in [2, 3]. Examples of the use of the complementary energy concept are given in [2] and the case of an anisotropic body is considered in [3], These investigations disclosed that the considered representation of the strain tensor leads to ambiguity, but the character and nature of the ambiguity were not fully investigated.     

Boundary conditions in intrinsic nonlinear elasticity

The intrinsic formulation of the displacement-traction problem of nonlinear elasticity is a system of partial differential equations and boundary conditions whose unknown is the Cauchy–Green strain tensor field instead of the deformation as is customary. We explicitly identify here the boundary conditions satisfied by the Cauchy–Green strain tensor field appearing in such intrinsic formulations.

Boundary element method for calculation of effective elastic moduli in 3D linear elasticity

A boundary integral formulation of the linear elasticity problem for a multi‐component composite is given. The fast BEM solver based on the adaptive cross approximation is then obtained by the data‐sparse representation of the resulting Galerkin matrices. The solver is used to obtain effective elastic moduli of fibre and particle reinforced composites in three dimensions by means of the strain energy equivalence principle.

Failure analysis of highly predeformed beams used as flexure hinges

The trend to extend the working ranges of flexure hinges implies large deformations during operation. To conduct a failure analysis the total deformation is decomposed into desired deformation and deviations. In particular, a flexure hinge of leaf-spring type is examined. It is modeled by the theory of elastica. The resulting boundary value problem is solved numerically for the static case by Ritz's method. It is discretized into trial functions and their free coefficients are determined from the minimum of potential energy by optimization methods. The crucial point is that the elastic energy stored in the beam is formulated intrinsically, while the potential of external conservative loads is formulated in a space-fixed coordinate system. The well-known special case of buckling of a straight cantilever beam is used for verification. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Optimal and approximate boundary controls of an elastic body with quasistatic evolution of damage

In this paper, we study an optimal control problem for the mixed boundary value problem for an elastic body with quasistatic evolution of an internal damage variable. We suppose that the evolution of microscopic cracks and cavities responsible for the damage is described by a nonlinear parabolic equation. A density of surface traction p acting on a part of boundary of an elastic body Ω is taken as a boundary control. Because the initial boundary value problem of this type can exhibit the Lavrentieff phenomenon and non‐uniqueness of weak solutions, we deal with the solvability of this problem in the class of weak variational solutions. Using the convergence concept in variable spaces and following the direct method in calculus of variations, we prove the existence of optimal and approximate solutions to the optimal control problem under rather general assumptions on the quasistatic evolution of damage.

Computational homogenization of materials with small deformation to determine configurational forces

In this work the mechanical boundary condition for the micro problem in a two-scaled homogenization using a FE² approach is discussed. The strain tensor is often used in the literature for small deformation problem to determine the boundary conditions for the boundary value problem on the micro level. This strain tensor based boundary condition gives consistent homogenized mechanical quantities, e.g. stress tensor and elasticity tensor, but the present work points out that it leads to unphysical homogenized configurational forces. Instead, we propose a displacement gradient based boundary condition for the micro problem. Results show that the displacement gradient based boundary condition can give not only the consistent homogenized mechanical quantities but also the appropriate homogenized configurational forces. The interpretation of the displacement gradient based boundary condition is discussed. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

The formulation of linearized boundary integral equations of the anisotropic theory of elasticity and their application in geometrical inverse problems

An elastic bounded anisotropic solid with an elastic inclusion is considered. An oscillating source acts on part of the boundary of the solid and excites oscillations in it. Zero displacements are specified on the other part of the solid and zero forces on the remaining part. A variation in the shape of the surface of the solid and of the inclusion of continuous curvature is introduced and the problem of the theory of elasticity with respect to this variation is linearized. An algorithm for constructing integral representations for such linearized problems is described. The limiting properties of the linearized operators are investigated and special boundary integral equations of the anisotropic theory of elasticity are formulated, which relate the variations of the boundary strain and stress fields with the variations in the shape of the boundary surface. Examples are given of applications of these equations in geometrical inverse problems in which it is required to establish the unknown part of the body boundary or the shape of an elastic inclusion on the basis of information on the wave field on the part of the body surface accessible for observation.
