Domain decomposition for generalized unilateral semi-coercive contact problem with given friction in elasticity
A non-overlapping domain decomposition is applied to a multibody unilateral contact problem with given friction (Tresca’s model). Approximations are proposed on the basis of the primary variational formulation (in terms of displacements) and linear finite elements. For the discretized problem we employ the concept of local Schur complements, grouping every two subdomains which share a contact a...
متن کاملOn Generalized Convexity of Nonlinear Complementarity Functions
In this paper, we study some properties of quasiconvex nonlinear complementarity functions. However, we prove that a nonlinear complementarity function cannot be pseudoconvex. As a consequence of this, we show that every convex nonlinear complementarity function is nondifferentiable. Furthermore, some properties of homogeneous nonlinear complementarity functions are proved.
متن کاملInjectivity and Self-Contact in Second-Gradient Nonlinear Elasticity
We prove the existence of globally injective weak solutions in mixed boundary-value problems of second-gradient nonlinear elastostatics via energy minimization. This entails the treatment of self-contact. In accordance with the classical (first-gradient) theory, the model incorporates the unbounded growth of the potential energy density as the local volume ratio approaches zero. We work in a cl...
متن کاملUnilateral Contact Applications Using Fem Software
Nonsmooth analysis, inequality constrained optimization and variational inequalities are involved in the modelling of unilateral contact problems. The corresponding theoretical and algorithmic tools, which are part of the area known as nonsmooth mechanics, are by no means classical. In general purpose software some of these tools (perhaps in a simplified way) are currently available. Two engine...
متن کاملCan nonlinear elasticity explain contact-line roughness at depinning?
We examine whether cubic nonlinearities, allowed by symmetry in the elastic energy of a contact line, may result in a different universality class at depinning. Standard linear elasticity predicts a roughness exponent zeta = 1/3 (one loop), zeta = 0.388 +/- 0.002 (numerics) while experiments give zeta approximately = 0.5. Within functional renormalization group methods we find that a nonlocal K...
