Variational Methods, Multisymplectic Geometry and Continuum Mechanics
This paper presents a variational and multisymplectic formulation of both compressible and incompressible models of continuum mechanics on general Riemannian manifolds. A general formalism is developed for non-relativistic first-order multisymplectic field theories with constraints, such as the incompressibility constraint. The results obtained in this paper set the stage for multisymplectic re...
متن کاملVariational Multisymplectic Formulations of Nonsmooth Continuum Mechanics
This paper develops the foundations of the multisymplectic formulation of nonsmooth continuum mechanics. It may be regarded as a PDE generalization of previous techniques that developed a variational approach to collision problems. These methods have already proved of value in computational mechanics, particularly in the development of asynchronous integrators and efficient collision methods. T...
متن کاملMultisymplectic Geometry, Variational Integrators, and Nonlinear PDEs
This paper presents a geometric-variational approach to continuous and discrete mechanics and field theories. Using multisymplectic geometry, we show that the existence of the fundamental geometric structures as well as their preservation along solutions can be obtained directly from the variational principle. In particular, we prove that a unique multisymplectic structure is obtained by taking...
متن کاملVariational Theory of Mixtures in Continuum Mechanics
In continuum mechanics, the equations of motion for mixtures were derived through the use of a variational principle by Bedford and Drumheller in [1978]. Only immiscible mixtures were investigated. We have chosen a different approach. In this paper, we first write the equations of motion for each constituent of an inviscid miscible mixture of fluids without chemical reactions or diffusion. The ...
متن کاملMultisymplectic Geometry Method for Maxwell's Equations and Multisymplectic Scheme *
In this paper we discussed the self-adjointness of the Maxwell’s equations with variable coefficients ε and μ. Three different Lagrangian are attained. By the Legendre transformation, a multisymplectic Bridge’s (Hamilton) form is obtained. Based on the multisymplectic structure, the multisymplectic conservation law of the system is derived and a nine-point Preissman multisymplectic scheme which...
