Computing Upper and Lower Bounds for the J-Integral in Two-Dimensional Linear Elasticity

چکیده
Abstract— We present an a-posteriori method for computing rigorous upper and lower bounds of the J-integral in two dimensional linear elasticity. The J-integral, which is typically expressed as a contour integral, is recast as a surface integral which yields a quadratic continuous functional of the displacement. By expanding the quadratic output about an approximate finite element solution, the output is expressed as a known computable quantity plus linear and quadratic functionals of the solution error. The quadratic component is bounded by the energy norm of the error scaled by a continuity constant, which is determined explicitly. The linear component is expressed as an inner product of the errors in the displacement and in a computed adjoint solution, and bounded using standard a-posteriori error estimation techniques. The method is illustrated with two fracture problems in plane strain elasticity.

متن کاملA bi-level linear programming problem for computing the nadir point in MOLP
Computing the exact ideal and nadir criterion values is a very important subject in multi-objective linear programming (MOLP) problems. In fact, these values define the ideal and nadir points as lower and upper bounds on the nondominated points. Whereas determining the ideal point is an easy work, because it is equivalent to optimize a convex function (linear function) over a con...
متن کاملStrong exponent bounds for the local Rankin-Selberg convolution
Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field. Let $sigma$ and $tau$ be finite-dimensional representations of the Weil-Deligne group of $F$. We give strong upper and lower bounds for the Artin and Swan exponents of $sigmaotimestau$ in terms of those of $sigma$ and $tau$. We give a different lower bound in terms of $sigmaotimeschecksigma$ and $tauotimeschecktau$. Using the Langlands...

متن کاملA new block by block method for solving two-dimensional linear and nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the first and second kinds
In this paper, we propose a new method for the numerical solution of two-dimensional linear and nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the first and second kinds, which avoids from using starting values. An existence and uniqueness theorem is proved and convergence isverified by using an appropriate variety of the Gronwall inequality. Application of the method is demonstrated for solving the ...
