Hydrodynamics and Stochastic Differential Equation with Sobolev Coefficients
2013
In this chapter, we will explain how the Brenier’s relaxed variational principle for Euler equation makes involved the ordinary differential equations with Sobolev coefficients and how the investigation on stochastic differential equations (SDE) with Sobolev coefficients is useful to establish variational principles for Navier–Stokes equations. We will survey recent results on this topic.
Linear Systems Excited by Polynomials of Filtered Poission Pulses
1997
The stochastic differential equations for quasi-linear systems excited by parametric non-normal Poisson white noise are derived. Then it is shown that the class of memoryless transformation of filtered non-normal delta correlated process can be reduced, by means of some transformation, to quasi-linear systems. The latter, being excited by parametric excitations, are frst converted into ltoˆ stochastic differential equations, by adding the hierarchy of corrective terms which account for the nonnormality of the input, then by applying the Itoˆ differential rule, the moment equations have been derived. It is shown that the moment equations constitute a linear finite set of differential equatio…
Dynamics analysis of distributed parameter system subjected to a moving oscillator with random mass, velocity and acceleration
2002
Abstract The problem of calculating the response of a distributed parameter system excited by a moving oscillator with random mass, velocity and acceleration is investigated. The system response is a stochastic process although its characteristics are assumed to be deterministic. In this paper, the distributed parameter system is assumed as a beam with Bernoulli–Euler type analytical behaviour. By adopting the Galerkin's method, a set of approximate governing equations of motion possessing time-dependent uncertain coefficients and forcing function is obtained. The statistical characteristics of the deflection of the beam are computed by using an improved perturbation approach with respect t…
The Mean-Field Limit for Solid Particles in a Navier-Stokes Flow
2008
We propose a mathematical derivation of Brinkman's force for a cloud of particles immersed in an incompressible viscous fluid. Specifically, we consider the Stokes or steady Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain Omega subset of R-3 for the velocity field u of an incompressible fluid with kinematic viscosity v and density 1. Brinkman's force consists of a source term 6 pi rvj where j is the current density of the particles, and of a friction term 6 pi vpu where rho is the number density of particles. These additional terms in the motion equation for the fluid are obtained from the Stokes or steady Navier-Stokes equations set in Omega minus the disjoint union of N balls of radius epsilo…
Narrow Bound States of the DNN System
2012
We report on a recent calculation of the properties of the $DNN$ system, a charmed meson with two nucleons. The system is analogous to the $\bar K NN$ system substituting a strange quark by a charm quark. Two different methods are used to evaluate the binding and width, the Fixed Center approximation to the Faddeev equations and a variational calculation. In both methods we find that the system is bound by about 200 MeV and the width is smaller than 40 MeV, a situation opposite to the one of the $\bar K NN$ system and which makes this state well suited for experimental observation.
Constitutive equations for no-tension materials
1988
For a material which is incapable of sustaining tensile stresses (no-tension material, NTM), the local stability postulate is utilized in order to derive the appropriate equations which relate, within general 3D situations, cracking strain states and stress states to each other. Several alternative forms of these equations are discussed, either in terms of stress and strain components, or in terms of stress and strain invariants. The results obtained improve known results regarding the NTM's.
A nonlocal strain gradient plasticity theory for finite deformations
2009
Abstract Strain gradient plasticity for finite deformations is addressed within the framework of nonlocal continuum thermodynamics, featured by the concepts of (nonlocality) energy residual and globally simple material. The plastic strain gradient is assumed to be physically meaningful in the domain of particle isoclinic configurations (with the director vector triad constant both in space and time), whereas the objective notion of corotational gradient makes it possible to compute the plastic strain gradient in any domain of particle intermediate configurations. A phenomenological elastic–plastic constitutive model is presented, with mixed kinematic/isotropic hardening laws in the form of …
Influence of data input in the evaluation of Stress Intensity Factors from Thermoelastic Stress Analysis
2021
Abstract Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA) is applied to evaluate the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF), T-stress and J-Integral in a Single-Edge-Notched-Tension sample undergoing fatigue cycling. The Williams’ series stress formulation and a least-square fitting (LSF) procedure are used to obtain the SIF and the T-stress. The evaluation is carried out with the aim to investigate the influence of the input data in the system of equations solved with the LSF, and in particular: the number of coefficients used in the Williams’ series and the choice and position of the fitted experimental data points. Three algorithms for the determination of the crack tip position are also evaluated: a coarse g…
Nonlinear Nonhomogeneous Elliptic Problems
2019
We consider nonlinear elliptic equations driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator plus an indefinite potential. The boundary condition is either Dirichlet or Robin (including as a special case the Neumann problem). First we present the corresponding regularity theory (up to the boundary). Then we develop the nonlinear maximum principle and present some important nonlinear strong comparison principles. Subsequently we see how these results together with variational methods, truncation and perturbation techniques, and Morse theory (critical groups) can be used to analyze different classes of elliptic equations. Special attention is given to (p, 2)-equations (these are equations driven…
THE MINIMIZING TOTAL VARIATION FLOW WITH MEASURE INITIAL CONDITIONS
2004
In this paper we obtain existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Cauchy problem for the minimizing total variation flow when the initial condition is a Radon measure in ℝN. We study limit solutions obtained by weakly approximating the initial measure μ by functions in L1(ℝN). We are able to characterize limit solutions when the initial condition μ=h+μs, where h∈L1(ℝN)∩L∞(ℝN), and μs=αℋk⌊ S,α≥0,k is an integer and S is a k-dimensional manifold with bounded curvatures. In case k<N-1 we prove that the singular part of the solution does not move, it remains equal to μs for all t≥0. In particular, u(t)=δ0 when u(0)=δ0. In case k=N-1 we prove that the singular part of the limit solution …
