A boundary-value problem for a nonlinear heat-conduction equation

Methods for the numerical solution of the boundary-value problem are comidered. One method is related to the method of successive approximations and the other employs the collocation method [1]. A relationship between the latter method and the Ritz and Galerkin methods [2] is shown. An application of the collocation method to the nonstationary problem is given. The approximate solution is represented in analytic form. A way of finding the absolute error of the approximate solution is given.

Cosserat spectrum of the first boundary-value problem of elasticity

The three-dimensional problem of calculating the Cosserat spectrum of the first boundaryvalue problem of elasticity for a body of revolution is considered. Using grids containing 900 and 3600 nodes, it is shown that the sequence of eigenvalues for a sphere found by E. Cosserat and F. Cosserat does not describe the entire range of eigenvalues.

Finite element approximation of field dislocation mechanics

A tool for studying links between continuum plasticity and dislocation theory within a field framework is presented. A finite element implementation of the geometrically linear version of a recently proposed theory of field dislocation mechanics (J. Mech. Phys. Solids 49 (2001) 761; Proc. Roy. Soc. 459 (2003) 1343; J. Mech. Phys. Solids 52 (2004) 301) represents the main idea behind the tool. The constitutive ingredients of the theory under consideration are simply elasticity and a specification of dislocation velocity and nucleation. The set of equations to be approximated are non-standard in the context of solid mechanics applications. It comprises the standard second-order equilibrium equations, a first-order div-curl system for the elastic incompatibility, and a first-order, wave-propagative system for the evolution of dislocation density. The latter two sets of equations require special treatment as the standard Galerkin method is not adequate, and are solved utilizing a least-squares finite element strategy. The implementation is validated against analytical results of the classical elastic theory of dislocations and analytical results of the theory itself. Elastic stress fields of dislocation distributions in generally anisotropic media of finite extent, deviation from elastic response, yield-drop, and back-stress are shown to be natural consequences of the model. The development of inhomogeneity, from homogeneous initial conditions and boundary conditions corresponding to homogeneous deformation in conventional plasticity, is also demonstrated. To our knowledge, this work represents the first computational implementation of a theory of dislocation mechanics where no analytical results, singular solutions in particular, are required to formulate the implementation. In particular, a part of the work is the first finite element implementation of Kröner's linear elastic theory of continuously distributed dislocations in its full generality.     

Saint-Venant's problem and semi-inverse solutions in nonlinear elasticity

Saint-Venant's problem consists in finding elastic deformations of an infinite prismatic body taking given values for the cross-sectional resultants of force and moment. Using the center manifold approach we show that all deformations having sufficiently small bounded strains lie on a finite-dimensional manifold. In particular, the flow on this manifold is described by a set of equations having exactly the form of the classical rod equations. Moreover, the set of semi-inverse solutions can be analyzed locally.     

Approximate bounded synthesis for one weakly nonlinear boundary-value problem

We construct and substantiate an approximate control in the form of feedback for the problem of approximate bounded synthesis with semidefinite quality criterion for a parabolic equation containing a nonlinear term that depends regularly on a small parameter.     

Finite element approximation for single-phase multicomponent flows

With the objective of performing computational simulations of mixture problems, this work employed a mechanical modeling of single-phase incompressible multicomponent flows able to deal with geometric and material non-linearities. This model is based on conservative laws of mass and momentum in continuum mechanics, assuming the mixture as a superposition of a number of continuous media, each one with a variable volume fraction field. Using appropriate hypothesis, the model was formulated as a set of non-linear partial differential equations and associated boundary conditions. This set was approximated by a stabilized finite element method, based on a Galerkin/least-squares scheme, in order to circumvent Babu ka–Brezzi condition and to generate stable approximations even in highly advective situations. Some preliminary numerical results have been obtained for non-Newtonian axial injections in backward facing step incompressible flows.

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.
