On the Shape of the Eshelby Inclusions

It is shown, based on properties of analytic functions, that for inclusions of constant eigenstrain and eigenstress that the shape of the inclusion is restricted and any part of a plane (i.e. polyhedral inclusion) is prohibited. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Second-order homogenization estimates for nonlinear composites incorporating field fluctuations: I—theory

This paper is concerned with the development of an improved second-order homogenization method incorporating field fluctuations for nonlinear composite materials. The idea is to combine the desirable features of two different, earlier methods making use of “linear comparison composites”, the properties of which are chosen optimally from suitably designed variational principles. The first method (Ponte Castañeda, J. Mech. Phys. Solids 39 (1991) 45) makes use of the “secant” moduli of the phases, evaluated at the second moments of the strain field over the phases, and delivers bounds, but these bounds are only exact to first-order in the heterogeneity contrast. The second method (Ponte Castañeda, J. Mech. Phys. Solids 44 (1996) 827) makes use of the “tangent” moduli, evaluated at the phase averages (or first moments) of the strain field, and yields estimates that are exact to second-order in the contrast, but that can violate the bounds in some special cases. These special cases turn out to correspond to situations, such as percolation phenomena, where field fluctuations, which are captured less accurately by the second-order method than by the bounds, become important. The new method delivers estimates that are exact to second-order in the contrast, making use of generalized secant moduli incorporating both first- and second-moment information, in such a way that the bounds are never violated. Some simple applications of the new theory are given in Part II of this work.     

Optimal Control of Nonlinear Transport-Flow Mixed Variational Problems

Optimal control of nonlinear transport-flow mixed variational problems are studied qualitatively, and the solvability analysis of the transport and flow mixed state systems is performed on the basis of primal and dual evolution duality principles. Corresponding primal and dual mixed optimality conditions are established by the application of some fundamental perturbation conjugate duality results recently proposed [8 G. Alduncin (2013). Optimal control of evolution mixed variational inclusions. Applied Mathematics and Optimization 68:445–473.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. Further, for computational purposes, two- and three-field proximation penalty-duality algorithms in the resolution of the mixed optimality conditions are finally presented and discussed.     

Finite Element Approximation of Hemivariational Inequalities

The paper deals with a finite element approximation of elliptic and parabolic variational inequalities. Elliptic hemivariational inequalities are equivalently expressed as a system consisting of one equation and one inclusion for a couple of unknowns, namely a primal variable u and an element belonging to a multivalued mapping at u. Both components of the solution are approximated independently each other by a finite element method. Parabolic inequalities are transformed into a system of elliptic ones by using an appropriate time discretization. A numerical experiment is realized by using non-smooth optimization methods.     

Functional differential inclusions and dynamic behaviors for memristor-based BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, we formulate and investigate a class of memristor-based BAM neural networks with time-varying delays. Under the framework of Filippov solutions, the viability and dissipativity of solutions for functional differential inclusions and memristive BAM neural networks can be guaranteed by the matrix measure approach and generalized Halanay inequalities. Then, a new method involving the application of set-valued version of Krasnoselskii’ fixed point theorem in a cone is successfully employed to derive the existence of the positive periodic solution. The dynamic analysis in this paper utilizes the theory of set-valued maps and functional differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides of Filippov type. The obtained results extend and improve some previous works on conventional BAM neural networks. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical results via computer simulations.     

Variational inclusions problems with applications to Ekeland’s variational principle,fixed point and optimization problems

In this paper, we prove the existence theorems of two types of systems of variational inclusions problem. From these existence results, we establish Ekeland’s variational principle on topological vector space, existence theorems of common fixed point, existence theorems for the semi-infinite problems, mathematical programs with fixed points and equilibrium constraints, and vector mathematical programs with variational inclusions constraints.

Particle‐tracking within turbulent cylindrical electromagnetically‐driven flow

This paper discusses a simple model of electromagnetically stirred molten metal within a long cylinder, neglecting end effects. The radially‐dependent velocity profiles of the molten metal are calculated using the Prandtl mixing length model for turbulence. The paths of non‐conducting particles within the fluid are also computed numerically, under the influence of Stokes’ drag and a random force due to turbulence. The paths are calculated for a range of particle diameters and the general motion is observed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
