    Global spatial regularity for time dependent elasto-plasticity and related problems
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Knees, Dorothee
    We study the global spatial regularity of solutions of generalized elasto-plastic models with linear hardening on smooth domains. Under natural smoothness assumptions on the data and the boundary we obtain that the displacements belong to L^8((0,T);H^(3/2-d)(O)) whereas the internal variables belong to L^8((0,T);H^(1/2-d)(O)). The key step in the proof is a reflection argument which gives the regularity result in directions normal to the boundary on the basis of tangential regularity results

    Analytical and numerical aspects of time-dependent models with internal variables
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Gruber, Peter; Knees, Dorothee; Nesenenko, Sergiy; Thomas, Marita
    In this paper some analytical and numerical aspects of time-dependent models with internal variables are discussed. The focus lies on elasto/visco-plastic models of monotone type arising in the theory of inelastic behavior of materials. This class of problems includes the classical models of elasto-plasticity with hardening and viscous models of the Norton-Hoff type. We discuss the existence theory for different models of monotone type, give an overview on spatial regularity results for solutions to such models and illustrate a numerical solution algorithm at an example. Finally, the relation to the energetic formulation for rate-independent processes is explained and temporal regularity results based on different convexity assumptions are presented
