Discrete Dynamics of Complex Bodies with Substructural Dissipation: Variational Integrators and Convergence
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the linearized setting of the dynamics of complex bodies we construct variational integrators and prove their convergence by making use of BV estimates on the rate fields. We allow for peculiar substructural inertia and internal dissipation, all accounted for by a d’Alembert-Lagrange-type principle.

On the G-Convergence of Discrete Dynamics and Variational Integrators
For a simple class of Lagrangians and variational integrators, derived by time discretization of the action functional, we establish (i) the -convergence of the discrete action sum to the action functional; (ii) the relation between -convergence and weak∗ convergence of the discrete trajectories in W 1,∞(R;Rn); and (iii) the relation between -convergence and the convergence of the Fourier trans...
متن کاملConvergence of Asynchronous Variational Integrators in Linear Elastodynamics
Within the setting of linear elastodynamics of simple bodies, we prove that the discrete action functional obtained by following the scheme of asynchronous variational integrators converges in time. The convergence in space is assured by standard arguments when the finite element mesh is progressively refined. Our strategy exploits directly the action functional. In particular, we show that, if...
متن کاملDiscontinuous variational time integrators for complex multibody collisions
The objective of the present work is to formulate a new class of discontinuous variational time integrators that allow the system to adopt two possibly different configurations at each sampling time tk , representing predictor and corrector configurations of the system. The resulting sequence of configuration pairs then represents a discontinuous—or non-classical—trajectory. Continuous or class...
متن کاملLie group variational integrators for the full body problem in orbital mechanics
Equations of motion, referred to as full body models, are developed to describe the dynamics of rigid bodies acting under theirmutual gravitational potential. Continuous equations of motion and discrete equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle. These equations are expressed in an inertial frame and in relative coordinates. The discrete equations of motion, referred to as a Lie...
متن کاملGamma-convergence of Variational Integrators for Constrained Systems
For a physical system described by a motion in an energy landscape under holonomic constraints, we study the -convergence of variational integrators to the corresponding continuum action functional and the convergence properties of solutions of the discrete Euler–Lagrange equations to stationary points of the continuum problem. This extends the results in Müller and Ortiz (J. Nonlinear Sci. 14:...
