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...

This note deals with the analysis of a model for partial damage, where the rate-independent, unidirectional ow rule for the damage variable is coupled with the rate-dependent heat equation, and with the momentum balance featuring inertia and viscosity according to Kelvin-Voigt rheology. The results presented here combine the approach from Roubí£ek [Rou09, Rou10] with the methods from Lazzaroni/...

The motion of viscoelastic (Kelvin-Voigt model) bodies between an upper and a lower obstacle is studied both mathematically and numerically. The two obstacles are assumed to be stationary perfect rigid, therefore, Signorini contact conditions are imposed at each obstacle, which can be interpreted as a couple of complementarity conditions (CCs). The convergence of numerical trajectories for gene...

Magnetic particles are versatile imaging agents that have found wide spread applicability in diagnostic, therapeutic, and rheology applications. In this study, we demonstrate that mechanical waves generated by a localized inclusion of magnetic nanoparticles can be used for assessment of the tissue viscoelastic properties using magnetomotive optical coherence elastography. We show these capabili...
