    On the stability of elastic-plastic systems with hardening
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Martins, João A.C.; Monteiro Marques, Manuel D.P.; Petrov, Adrien
    This paper discusses the stability of quasi-static paths for a continuous elastic-plastic system with hardening in a one-dimensional (bar) domain. Mathematical formulations, as well as existence and uniqueness results for dynamic and quasi-static problems involving elastic-plastic systems with linear kinematic hardening are recalled in the paper. The concept of stability of quasi-static paths used here is essentially a continuity property of the system dynamic solutions relatively to the quasi-static ones, when (as in Lyapunov stability) the size of initial perturbations is decreased and the rate of application of the forces (which plays the role of the small parameter in singular perturbation problems) is also decreased to zero. The stability of the quasi-static paths of these elastic-plastic systems is the main result proved in the paper.

    Convergence of solutions of kinetic variational inequalities in the rate-independent quasi-static limit
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Mielke, Alexander; Petrov, Adrien; Martins, João A.C.
    This paper discusses the convergence of kinetic variational inequalities to rate-independent quasi-static variational inequalities. Mathematical formulations as well as existence and uniqueness results for kinetic and rate-independent quasi-static problems are provided. Sharp a priori estimates for the kinetic problem are derived that imply that the kinetic solutions converge to the rate-independent ones, when the size of initial perturbations and the rate of application of the forces tends to 0. An application to three-dimensional elastic-plastic systems with hardening is given.
