Quasistatic problems in viscoplasticity theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the existence theory to quasistatic initial-boundary value problems with internal variables, which model the viscoelastic or viscoplastic behavior of solids at small strain. In these problems a system of linear partial differential equations coupled with a nonlinear system of differential equations or differential inclusions must be solved. The solution theory is based on monotonicity properties of the differential equations or differential inclusions. The article gives an essentially complete account of the recent progress.

Numerical Analysis of a Nonlinear Evolutionary System with Applications in Viscoplasticity
We consider numerical approximations of a class of abstract nonlinear evolutionary systems arising in the study of quasistatic frictional contact problems for elastic-viscoplastic materials. Both spatially semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes are analyzed with the nite element method employed to discretize the spatial domain. Strong convergence of both approximations is established under mi...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of a Class of Evolution Systems Arising in Viscoplasticity
We consider a class of abstract nonlinear evolution systems arising in the study of quasistatic frictionless contact problems for elastic-viscoplastic materials. The variational analysis of such systems, including existence and uniqueness results as well as some properties concerning the behavior of the solution, has been done in 12]. In this paper we consider numerical approximations of this c...
متن کاملWell-posedness for dislocation based gradient visco-plasticity II: monotone case
In this work we continue to investigate the well-posedness for infinitesimal dislocation based gradient viscoplasticity with linear kinematic hardening. We assume an additive split of the displacement gradient into non-symmetric elastic distortion and non-symmetric plastic distortion. The thermodynamic potential is augmented with a term taking the dislocation density tensor into account. The co...
متن کاملOn the Small and Finite Deformation Thermo-elasto-viscoplasticity Theory for Strain Localization Problems: Algorithmic and Computational Aspects
ABSTRACT. This work is focused on the numerical implementation of thermo-viscoplastic constitutive equations in small and finite strain contexts using FEM. A length scale parameter is introduced implicitly through viscosity in order to address strain localization in the (initial) boundary value problems. The mathematical structure of the infinitesimal viscoplasticity theory is concise and simil...
متن کاملVariational and Numerical Analysis of the Signorini’s Contact Problem in Viscoplasticity with Damage
We consider the quasistatic Signorini’s contact problem with damage for elastic-viscoplastic bodies. The mechanical damage of the material, caused by excessive stress or strain, is described by a damage function whose evolution is modeled by an inclusion of parabolic type. We provide a variational formulation for the mechanical problem and sketch a proof of the existence of a uniqueweak solutio...
