    Thermodynamics of multiphase problems in viscoelasticity
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Paoli, Laetitia; Petrov, Adrien
    This paper deals with a three-dimensional mixture model describing materials undergoing phase transition with thermal expansion. The problem is formulated within the framework of generalized standard solids by the coupling of the momentum equilibrium equation and the flow rule with the heat transfer equation. A global solution for this thermodynamically consistent problem is obtained by using a fixed-point argument combined with global energy estimates.

    Global existence result for phase transformations with heat transfer in shape memory alloys : dedicated to 75th birthday of K. Gröger
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Paoli, Laetitia; Petrov, Adrien; Gröger, K.
    We consider three-dimensional models for rate-independent processes describing materials undergoing phase transformations with heat transfer. The problem is formulated within the framework of generalized standard solids by the coupling of the momentum equilibrium equation and the flow rule with the heat transfer equation. Under appropriate regularity assumptions on the initial data, we prove the existence a global solution for this thermodynamically consistent system, by using a fixed-point argument combined with global energy estimates.

    Global existence result for thermoviscoelastic problems with hysteresis : dedicated to the memory of M. Schatzman
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Paoli, Laetitia; Petrov, Adrien; Schatzman, M.
    We consider viscoelastic solids undergoing thermal expansion and exhibiting hysteresis effects due to plasticity or phase transformations. Within the framework of generalized standard solids, the problem is described in a 3D setting by the momentum equilibrium equation, the flow rule describing the dependence of the stress on the strain history, and the heat transfer equation. Under appropriate regularity assumptions on the data, a local existence result for this thermodynamically consistent system is established, by combining existence results for ordinary differential equations in Banach spaces with a fixed-point argument. Then global estimates are obtained by using both the classical energy estimate and more specific techniques for the heat equation introduced by Boccardo and Gallouet. Finally a global existence result is derived.

    Existence result for a class of generalized standard materials with thermomechanical coupling
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Paoli, Laetitia; Petrov, Adrien
    This paper deals with the study of a three-dimensional model of thermomechanical coupling for viscous solids exhibiting hysteresis effects. This model is written in accordance with the formalism of generalized standard materials. It is composed by the momentum equilibrium equation combined with the flow rule, which describes some stress-strain dependance, and the heat-transfer equation. An existence result for this thermodynamically consistent problem is obtained by using a fixed-point argument and some qualitative properties of the solutions are established.

    Optimal control of robot guided laser material treatment
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Hömberg, Dietmar; Steinbrecher, Andreas; Stykel, Tatjana
    In this article we will consider the optimal control of robot guided laser material treatments, where the discrete multibody system model of a robot is coupled with a PDE model of the laser treatment. We will present and discuss several optimization approaches of such optimal control problems and its properties in view of a robust and suitable numerical solution. We will illustrate the approaches in an application to the surface hardening of steel.

    On weak solutions to the stationary MHD-equations coupled to heat transfer with nonlocal radiation boundary conditions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Druet, Pierre-Etienne
    We study the coupling of the stationary system of magnetohydrodynamics to the heat equation. Coupling occurs on the one hand from temperature-dependent coefficients and from a temperature-dependent force term in the Navier-Stokes equations. On the other hand, the heat sources are given by the dissipation of current in the electrical conductors, and of viscous stresses in the fluid. We consider a domain occupied by several different materials, and have to take into account interface conditions for the electromagnetic fields. Since we additionally want to treat high-temperatures applications, we also take into account the effect of heat radiation, which results in nonlocal boundary conditions for the heat flux. We prove the existence of weak solutions for the coupled system, under the assumption that the imposed velocity at the boundary of the fluid remains sufficiently small. We prove a uniqueness result in the case of constant coefficients and small data. Finally, we discuss the regularity issue in a simplified setting.
