A variational principle for fluid mechanics

Summary A variational principle for fluid mechanics is derived without calling for any additional postulates in any ad hoc way. In the principle derived here, the Lagrangian is essentially the sum of kinetic and heat energy transferred to the fluid, less the sum of its internal and potential energy, less the work done on its exterior (similar to the enthalpy concept), rather than the difference between only kinetic energy and internal energy, as obtained previously by Seliger and Whitham [1] for a more restricted mode of variation.

Two methods of solving dynamic response by discretization of Gurtin variational principle

Based on the Gurtin variational principle and the finite element method two recurrence formulae of solving dynamic response are derived in this paper. The first recurrence formula which is conditionally stable is obtained by adopting “dual temporal finite element” to discretize the Gurtin variational principle and then making use of convolution, while the second, an unconditionally stable one derived by discritizing the variational principle in each time step and taking approprlate integration parameter θ. The paper had been accepted by the XVIth International Congress of IUTAM, Lyngby, Denmark, August, 1984.

Stability of n-covered Circles for Elastic Rods with Constant Planar Intrinsic Curvature

A stability index is computed for the n-covered circular equilibria of inextensible-unshearable elastic rods with constant planar intrinsic curvature û and constant values for the twisting stiffness and two bending stiffnesses. A simple expression is derived for the index as a function of û, (the ratio of bending stiffness out of the plane of curvature to bending stiffness in the plane of curvature), and (the ratio of twisting stiffness to bending stiffness in the plane of curvature). In particular, for intrinsically straight rods (û = 0) we prove that the 1-covered circle is stable if and only if 1, and the n-covered circle (n>1) is stable if and only if >1, >1, and

基于参变量变分原理的直升机系留载荷高性能计算方法

为了保证直升机在舰船上的安全性,必须使用系留设备将直升机系留在舰船上。直升机的系留问题可简化为由机身刚体、索具和起落架组成的杆件系统,索具只承受拉力而不承受压力,起落架只承受压力而不承受拉力。因此,直升机系留问题为典型的强非线性问题,需要发展有效的求解算法。在考虑大变形的情况下,基于参变量变分原理建立了求解直升机系留载荷的高性能计算方法。该方法利用参变量变分原理能够准确判断索具和起落架的拉压状态,并将材料非线性静力问题转换为线性静力互补问题求解,极大地提高了结果的收敛性。数值算例中,通过与有限元通用软件NASTRAN和ABAQUS计算结果比较,证实了该方法的精确性、收敛性及高效性。     

Variational principles for nonlinear piezoelectric materials

Summary In the present paper, we consider the behavior of nonlinear piezoelectric materials by generalization for this case of the Hashin-Shtrikman variational principles. The new general formulation used here differs from others, because, it gives the possibility to evaluate the upper and lower Hashin-Shtrikman bounds for specific physical nonlinearities of piezoelectric materials. Geometrical nonlinearities are not considered.This work was sponsored by PAPIIT, DGAPA-UNAM IN103301.

PERTURBATION ANALYSIS FOR WAVE EQUATION OF NONLINEAR ELASTIC ROD

The longitudinal oscillation of a nonlinear elastic rod with lateral inertia was studied. Based on the far field and simple wave theory, a nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation was established under the assumption of small amplitude and long wavelength. It is found that there are NLS envelop solitons in this system. Finally the soliton solution of the NLS equation was presented.

Weight function theory and variational formulations for three-dimensional plane elastic cracks advancing

The weight function theory for three-dimensional elastic crack analysis received great attention after the work of Rice (1985, 1989). Several applications have been considered since then, particularly in the context of configurational stability, crack path prediction, stress intensity factor expansions, perturbation approaches. In all cases, a specific hypothesis has been made on the variation of crack shape, in order to formulate the problem in terms of Cauchy principal value. In the present note, such hypothesis is further investigated and consequences discussed. A variational statement given in Salvadori and Fantoni (2013a) is thus rephrased in terms of weight functions. Its discrete formulation shows the potential to accurate approximation of crack front propagation.

Modeling cylindrical waves in nonlinear elastic composites

A procedure of deriving nonlinear wave equations that describe the propagation and interaction of hyperelastic cylindrical waves in composite materials modeled by a mixture with two elastic constituents is outlined. Nonlinearity is introduced by metric coefficients, Cauchy-Green strain tensor, and Murnaghan potential. It is the quadratic nonlinearity of all governing relations. For a configuration (state) dependent on the radial coordinate and independent of the angular and axial coordinates, quadratically nonlinear wave equations for stresses are derived and a relationship between the components of the stress tensor and partial strain gradient is established. Four combinations of physical and geometrical nonlinearities in systems of wave equations are examined. Nonlinear wave equations are explicitly written for three of the combinations __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 6, pp. 63–72, June 2007.
