    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.

    Rate-independent elastoplasticity at finite strains and its numerical approximation
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Mielke, Alexander; Roubíc̆ek, Tomáš
    Gradient plasticity at large strains with kinematic hardening is analyzed as quasistatic rate-independent evolution. The energy functional with a frame-indifferent polyconvex energy density and the dissipation are approximated numerically by finite elements and implicit time discretization, such that a computationally implementable scheme is obtained. The non-selfpenetration as well as a possible frictionless unilateral contact is considered and approximated numerically by a suitable penalization method which keeps polyconvexity and simultaneously by-passes the Lavrentiev phenomenon. The main result concerns the convergence of the numerical scheme towards energetic solutions. In the case of incompressible plasticity and of nonsimple materials, where the energy depends on the second derivative of the deformation, we derive an explicit stability criterion for convergence relating the spatial discretization and the penalizations.

    Quasistatic small-strain plasticity in the limit of vanishing hardening and its numerical approximation
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Bartels, Sören; Mielke, Alexander; Roubíček, Thomáš
    The quasistatic rate-independent evolution of the Prager--Ziegler-type model of linearized plasticity with hardening is shown to converge to the rate-independent evolution of the Prandtl--Reuss elastic/perfectly plastic model. Based on the concept of energetic solutions we study the convergence of the solutions in the limit for hardening coefficients converging to 0 by using the abstract method of Gamma-convergence for rate-independent systems. An unconditionally convergent numerical scheme is devised and 2D and 3D numerical experiments are presented. A two-sided energy inequality is a posteriori verified to document experimental convergence rates.
