Hyperelastic bodies under homogeneous Cauchy stress induced by non-homogeneous finite deformations

Hyperelastic bodies under homogeneous Cauchy stress induced by three-dimensional non-homogeneous deformations

In isotropic finite elasticity, unlike in the linear elastic theory, a homogeneous Cauchy stress may be induced by non-homogeneous strains. To illustrate this, we identify compatible nonhomogeneous three-dimensional deformations producing a homogeneous Cauchy stress on a cuboid geometry, and provide an example of an isotropic hyperelastic material, which is not rank-one convex, and for which th...

Homogeneous and Non Homogeneous Algorithms

Motivated by recent best case analyses for some sorting algorithms and based on the type of complexity we partition the algorithms into two classes: homogeneous and non-homogeneous algorithms.1 Although both classes contain algorithms with worst and best cases, homogeneous algorithms behave uniformly on all instances. This partition clarifies in a completely mathematical way the previously ment...

Hybrid High-Order methods for finite deformations of hyperelastic materials

We devise and evaluate numerically Hybrid High-Order (HHO) methods for hyperelastic materials undergoing finite deformations. The HHO methods use as discrete unknowns piecewise polynomials of order k ≥ 1 on the mesh skeleton, together with cell-based polynomials that can be eliminated locally by static condensation. The discrete problem is written as the minimization of the broken nonlinear ela...

Pollution-free Finite Difference Schemes for Non-homogeneous Helmholtz Equation

In this paper, we develop pollution-free finite difference schemes for solving the non-homogeneous Helmholtz equation in one dimension. A family of high-order algorithms is derived by applying the Taylor expansion and imposing the conditions that the resulting finite difference schemes satisfied the original equation and the boundary conditions to certain degrees. The most attractive features o...
