    New results on the stability of quasi-static paths of a single particle system with Coulomb friction and persistent contact
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Schmid, Florian; Martins, J.A.C.; Rebrova, Natalia
    In this paper we announce some new mathematical results on the stability of quasi-static paths of a single particle linearly elastic system with Coulomb friction and persistent normal contact with a flat obstacle.A quasi-static path is said to be stable at some value of the load parameter if, for some finite interval of the load parameter thereafter, the dynamic solutions behave continuously with respect to the size of the initial perturbations (as in Lyapunov stability) and to the smallness of the rate of application of the external forces, $varepsilon$ (as in singular perturbation problems). In this paper we prove sufficient conditions for stability of quasi-static paths of a single particle linearly elastic system with Coulomb friction and persistent normal contact with a flat obstacle. The present system has the additional difficulty of its non-smoothness: the friction law is a multivalued operator and the dynamic evolutions of this system may have discontinuous accelerations.

    On the numerical approximation of a viscoelastodynamic problem with unilateral constraints
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Petrov, Adrien; Martins, J.A.C.
    The present work is dedicated to the study of numerical schemes for a viscoelastic bar vibrating longitudinally and having its motion limited by rigid obstacles at the both ends. Finite elements and finite difference schemes are presented and their convergence is proved. Finally, some numerical examples are reported and analyzed.
