Numerical Methods for Minimizers and Microstructures in Nonlinear Elasticity
A standard finite element method and a finite element truncation method are applied to solve the boundary value problems of nonlinear elasticity with certain nonconvex stored energy functions such as those of St. Venant-Kirchhoff materials. Finite element solutions are proved to exist and to be in the form of minimizers in appropriate sets of admissible finite element functions for both methods...
متن کاملExistence of Minimizers and Microstructure in Nonlinear Elasticity
In this paper, the existence of a solution in the form of a minimizer or microstructure is established for the boundary value problems of nonlinear elasticity with certain nonconvex stored energy functions such as those of St. Venant-Kirchhoff type materials. Necessary and sufficient conditions for minimizing sequences of the potential energy to converge to a minimizer or to microstructure are ...
متن کاملDecomposition of deformations of thin rods. Application to nonlinear elasticity
This paper deals with the introduction of a decomposition of the deformations of curved thin beams, with section of order δ, which takes into account the specific geometry of such beams. A deformation v is split into an elementary deformation and a warping. The elementary deformation is the analog of a Bernoulli-Navier’s displacement for linearized deformations replacing the infinitesimal rotat...
متن کاملLinear and nonlinear photoinduced deformations of cantilevers.
Glassy and elastomeric nematic networks with dye molecules present can be very responsive to illumination, huge reversible strains being possible. If absorption is appreciable, strain decreases with depth into a cantilever, leading to bend that is the basis of micro-opto-mechanical systems (MOMS). Bend actually occurs even when Beer's law suggests a tiny penetration of light into a heavily dye-...
متن کاملThe Convergence of Regularized Minimizers for Cavitation Problems in Nonlinear Elasticity
Abstract. Consider a nonlinearly elastic body which occupies the region Ω ⊂ Rm (m = 2, 3) in its reference state and which is held in tension under prescribed boundary displacements on ∂Ω. Let x0 ∈ Ω be any fixed point in the body. It is known from variational arguments that, for sufficiently large boundary displacements, there may exist discontinuous weak solutions of the equilibrium equations...
