From non-linear elasticity to linear elasticity with initial stress via Γ-convergence

Non-linear generalized elasticity of icosahedral quasicrystals

Quasicrystals can carry, in addition to the classical phonon displacement field, a phason displacement field, which requires a generalized theory of elasticity. In this paper, the third-order strain invariants (including phason strain) of icosahedral quasicrystals are determined. They are connected with 20 independent third-order elastic constants. By means of non-linear elasticity, phason stra...

Gradient schemes for linear and non-linear elasticity equations

The Gradient Scheme framework provides a unified analysis setting for many different families of numerical methods for diffusion equations. We show in this paper that the Gradient Scheme framework can be adapted to elasticity equations, and provides error estimates for linear elasticity and convergence results for non-linear elasticity. We also establish that several classical and modern numeri...

Asymptotic Analysis of Non-symmetric Linear Operators via Γ-convergence

We study the asymptotic behavior of a sequence of Dirichlet problems for second order linear operators in divergence form { −div(σε∇u) = f in Ω, u ∈ H1 0 (Ω), where (σε) ⊂ L∞(Ω;Rn×n) is uniformly elliptic and possibly non-symmetric. On account of the variational principle of Cherkaev and Gibiansky [1], we are able to prove a variational characterization of the H-convergence of (σε) in terms of ...

a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...
