On a nonlocal problem modelling Ohmic heating in planar domains

In this paper, we consider the nonlocal problem of the form ut-Δu = (λe-u)/(∫Ωe-udx)2,x ∈Ω, t0 and the associated nonlocal stationary problem -Δv = (λe-v)/(∫Ωe-vdx)2, x ∈Ω,where λ is a positive parameter. For Ω to be an annulus, we prove that the nonlocal stationary problemhas a unique solution if and only if λ 2| Ω| 2 , and for λ = 2|Ω|2, the solution of the nonlocal parabolic problem grows up globally to infinity as t →∞.     

Decay rates for the energy of a singular nonlocal viscoelastic system

This work deals with decay rates for the energy of an initial boundary value problem with a nonlocal boundary condition for a system of nonlinear singular viscoelastic equations. We prove the decay rates for the energy of a singular one‐dimensional viscoelastic system with a nonlinear source term and nonlocal boundary condition of relaxation kernels described by the inequality $g_i^{\prime }\left(t\right)\le ?H\left(g_i\left(t\right)\right),\left(i=1,2\right)$ for all t ≥ 0, with H convex.     

Dynamic vibrations of a damageable viscoelastic beam in contact with two stops

A model for the material damage, due to dynamic vibrations of a Kelvin‐Voigt viscoelastic beam whose tip is constrained to move between two stops, is presented and numerically analyzed. The contact of the free tip with the stops is described by the normal compliance condition. The evolution of damage of the beam's material, which measures the reduction of its load carrying capacity, is modeled with a parabolic inclusion. The existence of the unique local solution is stated. A numerical algorithm is presented, in which spatially it is approximated by finite elements, and the time derivatives are discretized with the Euler scheme. Error estimates are derived for sufficiently regular solutions, and four numerical simulations are shown. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2013     

Global existence and decay of solutions of a singular nonlocal viscoelastic system with a nonlinear source term,nonlocal boundary condition,and localized damping term

The paper deals with the existence of a global solution of a singular one-dimensional viscoelastic system with a nonlinear source term, nonlocal boundary condition, and localized frictional damping a(x)u_t using the potential well theory. Furthermore, the general decay result is proved. We construct a suitable Lyapunov functional and make use of the perturbed energy method.

Nonlinear vibrations of a viscoelastic beam

Averaging [2, 3] is used to examine the free transverse oscillations of a viscoelastic beam supported at the ends, the rheological properties being described by a certain cubic integral relationship. The forced principal and fractional resonant oscillations are considered for n=1, these being excited by a transverse periodic force; the limiting oscillations are determined that correspond to the principal resonance.M.

In this paper, we consider the Sturm-Liouville problem with one classical and another nonlocal boundary condition. We investigate general properties of the characteristic function and spectrum for such a problem in the complex case. In the second part, we investigate the case of real eigenvalues, analyze the dependence of the spectrum on parameters of the boundary condition, and describe the qualitative behavior of all eigenvalues subject to of the nonlocal boundary condition.

Blow-up for a degenerate parabolic equation with nonlocal source and nonlocal boundary

In this article, we investigate the blow-up properties of the positive solutions for a doubly degenerate parabolic equation with nonlocal source and nonlocal boundary condition. The conditions on the existence and nonexistence of global positive solutions are given. Moreover, we give the precise blow-up rate estimate and the uniform blow-up estimate for the blow-up solution.     

Global solutions and blow‐up problems to a porous medium system with nonlocal sources and nonlocal boundary conditions

This paper deals with a porous medium system with nonlocal sources and weighted nonlocal boundary conditions. The main aim of this paper is to study how the reaction terms, the diffusion terms, and the weight functions in the boundary conditions affect the global and blow‐up properties to a porous medium system. The conditions on the global existence and blow‐up in finite time for nonnegative solutions are given. Furthermore, the blow‐up rate estimates of the blow‐up solutions are also established.

Combining local and nonlocal terms in a nonlinear elliptic problem

In this paper, we study the existence, uniqueness, multiplicity, and stability of positive solution of a nonlinear elliptic problem that combines local and nonlocal terms, taking the form of an integral in the space. The proofs are mainly based on fixed point theorems, bifurcation techniques, sub‐supersolutions, and continuation arguments. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Extinction and non-extinction for a polytropic filtration equation with a nonlocal source

In this article, the authors establish the conditions for the extinction of solutions, in finite time, of the fast diffusive polytropic filtration equation u _t ?=?div(|?u ^m | ^p?2?u ^m )?+?a∫_Ω u ^q (y,?t)dy with a, q, m?>?0, p?>?1, m(p???1)?R ^N (N?>?2). More precisely speaking, it is shown that if q?>?m(p???1), any non-negative solution with small initial data vanishes in finite time, and if 0?q?m(p???1), there exists a solution which is positive in Ω for all t?>?0. For the critical case q?=?m(p???1), whether the solutions vanish in finite time or not depends on the comparison between a and μ, where μ?=?∫?_Ωφ ^p?1(x)dx and φ is the unique positive solution of the elliptic problem ?div(|?φ| ^p?2?φ)?=?1, x?∈?Ω; φ(x)?=?0, x?∈??Ω.

Forced nonlinear vibrations of a viscoelastic body

An approximate solution of the problem of the forced, geometrically nonlinear vibrations of an arbitrary viscoelastic body is found in the form of an expansion in eigenfunctions of the corresponding linear elastic problem. With the aid of the virtual displacement principle the problem is reduced to a system of nonlinear integro-differential equations whose periodic solution is constructed by the small-parameter method.     

Global existence for a nonlocal model for adhesive contact

Abstract

In this paper, we address the analytical investigation into a model for adhesive contact introduced in a paper by Freddi and Fremond, which includes nonlocal sources of damage on the contact surface, such as the elongation. The resulting PDE system features various nonlinearities rendering the unilateral contact conditions, the physical constraints on the internal variables, as well as the contributions related to the nonlocal forces. For the associated initial-boundary value problem, we obtain a global-in-time existence result by proving the existence of a local solution via a suitable approximation procedure and then by extending the local solution to a global one by a nonstandard prolongation argument.     

Attractors for a plate equation with nonlocal nonlinearities

This paper contains results on well‐posedness, stability, and long‐time behavior of solutions to a class of plate models subject to damping and source terms given by the product of two nonlinear components [EQUATION1] where Ω is a bounded open set of R ⁿ with smooth boundary, γ ,ρ ?0 and are nonlocal functions. The main result states that the dynamical system {S (t )}_{t ?0} associated with this problem has a compact global attractor. In addition, in the limit case γ  = 0, it is also shown that {S (t )}_{t ?0} has a finite dimensional global attractor by using an approach on quasi‐stability because of Chueshov–Lasiecka (2010).

Torsional and longitudinal frequency and wave response of microtubules based on the nonlocal continuum and nonlocal discrete models

In this paper, the size-effects in the torsional and axial response of microtubules by using the nonlocal continuum rod model is investigated. To this end, continuous and discrete rod models are performed for modeling of microtubules. A simple finite element procedure is used for modeling and solution of nonlocal discrete system equation for microtubules. The influence of the small length scale on the vibration frequencies is examined both torsional and axial vibration cases. Some parametric results are also presented for examination of the accuracy and performances of discrete and continuous models.
