Geometry of the free-sliding Bernoulli beam

Giovanni Moreno, Monika Ewa Stypa (2016)

Communications in Mathematics

If a variational problem comes with no boundary conditions prescribed beforehand, and yet these arise as a consequence of the variation process itself, we speak of the free boundary values variational problem. Such is, for instance, the problem of finding the shortest curve whose endpoints can slide along two prescribed curves. There exists a rigorous geometric way to formulate this sort of problems on smooth manifolds with boundary, which we review here in a friendly self-contained way. As an application,...

Global asymptotic stabilisation of an active mass damper for a flexible beam

Laura Menini, Antonio Tornambè, Luca Zaccarian (1999)

Kybernetika

In this paper, a finite dimensional approximated model of a mechanical system constituted by a vertical heavy flexible beam with lumped masses placed along the beam and a mobile mass located at the tip, is proposed; such a model is parametric in the approximation order, so that a prescribed accuracy in the representation of the actual system can be easily obtained with the proposed model. The system itself can be understood as a simple representation of a building subject to transverse vibrations,...

Global existence and energy decay of solutions to a Bresse system with delay terms

Abbes Benaissa, Mostefa Miloudi, Mokhtar Mokhtari (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider the Bresse system in bounded domain with delay terms in the internal feedbacks and prove the global existence of its solutions in Sobolev spaces by means of semigroup theory under a condition between the weight of the delay terms in the feedbacks and the weight of the terms without delay. Furthermore, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions using multiplier method.

Global existence and polynomial decay for a problem with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping

Abderrahmane Zaraï, Nasser-eddine Tatar (2010)

Archivum Mathematicum

A viscoelastic Kirchhoff equation with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping is considered. Using integral inequalities and multiplier techniques we establish polynomial decay estimates for the energy of the problem. The results obtained in this paper extend previous results by Tatar and Zaraï [25].

Global existence for a nuclear fluid in one dimension: the T > 0 case

Bernard Ducomet (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider a simplified one-dimensional thermal model of nuclear matter, described by a system of Navier-Stokes-Poisson type, with a non monotone equation of state due to an effective nuclear interaction. We prove the existence of globally defined (large) solutions of the corresponding free boundary problem, with an exterior pressure P which is not required to be positive, provided sufficient thermal dissipation is present. We give also a partial description of the asymptotic behaviour of the system,...

Global existence of weak solutions to the Fried-Gurtin model of phase transitions

Zenon Kosowski (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We prove the existence of global in time weak solutions to a three-dimensional system of equations arising in a simple version of the Fried-Gurtin model for the isothermal phase transition in solids. In this model the phase is characterized by an order parameter. The problem considered here has the form of a coupled system of three-dimensional elasticity and parabolic equations. The system is studied with the help of the Faedo-Galerkin method using energy estimates.

Global in time solvability of the initial boundary value problem for some nonlinear dissipative evolution equations

Yoshihiro Shibata (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The global in time solvability of the one-dimensional nonlinear equations of thermoelasticity, equations of viscoelasticity and nonlinear wave equations in several space dimensions with some boundary dissipation is discussed. The blow up of the solutions which might be possible even for small data is excluded by allowing for a certain dissipative mechanism.

Global synchronization of chaotic Lur’e systems via replacing variables control

Xiaofeng Wu, Yi Zhao, Muhong Wang (2008)

Kybernetika

Finding sufficient criteria for synchronization of master-slave chaotic systems by replacing variables control has been an open problem in the field of chaos control. This paper presents some recent works on the subject, with emphasis on chaos synchronization of both identical and parametrically mismatched Lur’e systems by replacing variables control. The synchronization schemes are formally constructed and two classes of sufficient criteria for global synchronization, linear matrix inequality criterion...

Global well-posedness and blow up for the nonlinear fractional beam equations

Shouquan Ma, Guixiang Xu (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We establish the Strichartz estimates for the linear fractional beam equations in Besov spaces. Using these estimates, we obtain global well-posedness for the subcritical and critical defocusing fractional beam equations. Of course, we need to assume small initial data for the critical case. In addition, by the convexity method, we show that blow up occurs for the focusing fractional beam equations with negative energy.
