The problem of dynamic cavitation in nonlinear elasticity

چکیده
The notion of singular limiting induced from continuum solutions (slic-solutions) is applied to the problem of cavitation in nonlinear elasticity, in order to re-assess an example of non-uniqueness of entropic weak solutions (with polyconvex energy) due to a forming cavity.

A dual-parametric finite element method for cavitation in nonlinear elasticity
A dual-parametric finite element method is introduced in this paper for the computation of singular minimizers in the two dimensional cavitation problem in nonlinear elasticity. The method overcomes the difficulties, such as the mesh entanglement and material interpenetration, generally encountered in the finite element approximation of problems with extremely large expansionary deformation. Nu...
متن کاملAn Efficient Numerical Method for Cavitation in Nonlinear Elasticity
This paper is concerned with the numerical computation of cavitation in nonlinear elasticity. The Crouzeix-Raviart nonconforming finite element method is shown to prevent the degeneration of the mesh provoked by the conventional finite element approximation of this problem. Upon the addition of a suitable stabilizing term to the elastic energy, the method is used to solve cavitation problems in...
متن کاملΓ-convergence approximation of fracture and cavitation in nonlinear elasticity
Our starting point is a variational model in nonlinear elasticity that allows for cavitation and fracture that was introduced by Henao and Mora-Corral (2010). The total energy to minimize is the sum of the elastic energy plus the energy produced by crack and surface formation. It is a free discontinuity problem, since the crack set and the set of new surface are unknowns of the problem. The exp...
متن کاملQuasistatic Evolution of Cavities in Nonlinear Elasticity
We show the well-posedness of a free-discontinuity model in nonlinear elasticity allowing for cavitation. The model, based on global minimization, takes into account the noninterpenetration of matter and the inhomogeneties of the material. Then we prove the existence of a quasistatic evolution corresponding to this variational model that takes into account the irreversibility of the process of ...
متن کاملSolution of Flow Field Equations and Verification of Cavitation Problem on Spillway of the dam
The main objective of this paper is to formulate a mathematical model for finding flow field and cavitation problem on dam spillways. The Navier-Stokes Equation has been applied for the computation of pressure and velocity field, free water surface profiles and other parameters. Also, for increasing accuracy of the problem, viscosity effect has been considered. Because of internal flows the eff...
