    Small strain oscillations of an elastoplastic Kirchhoff plate
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Guenther, Ronald B.; Krejčí, Pavel; Sprekels, Jürgen
    The two dimensional equation for transversal vibrations of an elastoplastic plate is derived from a general three dimensional system with a single yield tensorial von Mises plasticity model in the five dimensional deviatoric space. It leads after dimensional reduction to a multiyield three dimensional Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis model whose weight function is explicitly given. The resulting partial differential equation with hysteresis is solved by means of viscous approximations and a monotonicity argument.

    A nonlocal phase-field model with nonconstant specific heat
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Krejčí, Pavel; Rocca, Elisabetta; Sprekels, Jürgen
    We prove the existence, uniqueness, thermodynamic consistency, global boundedness from both above and below, and continuous data dependence for a strong solution to an integrodifferential model for nonisothermal phase transitions under nonhomogeneous mixed boundary conditions. The specific heat is allowed to depend on the order parameter, and the convex component of the free energy may or may not be singular.

    Elastoplastic Timoshenko beams
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Krejčí, Pavel; Sprekels, Jürgen; Wu, Hao
    A Timoshenko type elastoplastic beam equation is derived by dimensional reduction from a general 3D system with von Mises plasticity law. It consists of two second-order hyperbolic equations with an anisotropic vectorial Prandtl--Ishlinskii hysteresis operator. Existence and uniqueness of a strong solution for an initial-boundary value problem is proven via standard energy and monotonicity methods.

    The von Mises model vor one-dimensional elastoplastic beams and Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis operators
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Krejčí, Pavel; Sprekels, Jürgen
    In this paper, the one-dimensional equation for the transversal vibrations of an elastoplastic beam is derived from a general three-dimensional system. The plastic behavior is modeled using the classical three-dimensional von Mises plasticity model. It turns out that this single-yield model without hardening leads after a dimensional reduction to a multi-yield one-dimensional hysteresis model with kinematic hardening, given by a hysteresis operator of Prandtl-Ishlinskii type whose density function can be determined explicitly. This result indicates that the use of Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis operators in the modeling of elastoplasticity is not just a questionable phenomenological approach, but in fact quite natural. In addition to the derivation of the model, it is shown that the resulting partial differential equation with hysteresis can be transformed into an equivalent system for which the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution is proved. The proof employs techniques from the mathematical theory of hysteresis operators.
