Wall displacements and ground pressure acting on the lining of a tunnel increase with time. These time-dependent deformations are both due to face advance effect and to the time-dependent behavior of the rock mass.  Viscoelastic materials exhibit both viscous and elastic behaviors. Thorough this study, the effect of different linear viscoelastic models including Maxwell, Kelvin and Kelvin-Voigt...

We deal with initial-boundary value problems describing vertical vibrations of viscoelastic von Kármán-Donnell shells with a rigid inner obstacle. The short memory (Kelvin-Voigt) material is considered. A weak formulation of the problem is in the form of the hyperbolic variational inequality. We solve the problem using the penalization method.

Bridge structure performance estimation under a seismic hazard can be significantly influenced by the level of modelling detail within the simulation of the soil structure interaction phenomenon. As the computational demands of such estimation greatly restricts the implementation of a detailed truncated FEM simulation of the semiinfinite soil domain, the Kelvin – Voigt Model within the framewor...

Zusammenfassung Dieser Beitrag behandelt die Approximation linearer verteilt-parametrischer Systeme zweiter Ordnung mittels eines Galerkin-Ansatzes. Das resultierende endlich-dimensionale Approximationsmodell besitzt ebenfalls die Struktur zweiter Ordnung und ist wie das Originalsystem asymptotisch stabil und passiv. Es wird gezeigt, wie die Freiheitsgrade der Galerkin-Approximation zu wählen s...

Abstract We present numerical techniques for calculating instability thresholds in a model thermal convection complex viscoelastic fluid of Kelvin–Voigt type. The theory presented is valid various orders an exponential fading memory term, and the strategy obtaining neutral curves discussed general case. Specific results are order zero, also known as Navier–Stokes–Voigt fluid, fluids 1 2. For la...
