Caputo Derivatives in Viscoelasticity: A Non-Linear Finite-Deformation Theory for Tissue

Freed, Alan, Diethelm, Kai (2007)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 74B20, 74D10, 74L15The popular elastic law of Fung that describes the non-linear stress- strain behavior of soft biological tissues is extended into a viscoelastic material model that incorporates fractional derivatives in the sense of Caputo. This one-dimensional material model is then transformed into a three-dimensional constitutive model that is suitable for general analysis. The model is derived in a configuration that differs from the current, or spatial,...

Carleman estimates for the non-stationary Lamé system and the application to an inverse problem

Oleg Yu. Imanuvilov, Masahiro Yamamoto (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we establish Carleman estimates for the two dimensional isotropic non-stationary Lamé system with the zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using this estimate, we prove the uniqueness and the stability in determining spatially varying density and two Lamé coefficients by a single measurement of solution over ( 0 , T ) × ω , where T > 0 is a sufficiently large time interval and a subdomain ω satisfies a non-trapping condition.

Carleman estimates with two large parameters for second order operators and applications to elasticity with residual stress

Victor Isakov, Nanhee Kim (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We derive Carleman type estimates with two large parameters for a general partial differential operator of second order. The weight function is assumed to be pseudo-convex with respect to the operator. We give applications to uniqueness and stability of the continuation of solutions and identification of coefficients for the Lamé system of dynamical elasticity with residual stress. This system is anisotropic and cannot be principally diagonalized, but it can be transformed into an "upper triangular"...

Cell-to-muscle homogenization. Application to a constitutive law for the myocardium

Denis Caillerie, Ayman Mourad, Annie Raoult (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We derive a constitutive law for the myocardium from the description of both the geometrical arrangement of cardiomyocytes and their individual mechanical behaviour. We model a set of cardiomyocytes by a quasiperiodic discrete lattice of elastic bars interacting by means of moments. We work in a large displacement framework and we use a discrete homogenization technique. The macroscopic constitutive law is obtained through the resolution of a nonlinear self-equilibrum system of the discrete lattice...

Characterization of the limit load in the case of an unbounded elastic convex

Adnene Elyacoubi, Taieb Hadhri (2005)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In this work we consider a solid body Ω 3 constituted by a nonhomogeneous elastoplastic material, submitted to a density of body forces λ f and a density of forces λ g acting on the boundary where the real λ is the loading parameter. The problem is to determine, in the case of an unbounded convex of elasticity, the Limit load denoted by λ ¯ beyond which there is a break of the structure. The case of a bounded convex of elasticity is done in [El-Fekih and Hadhri, RAIRO: Modél. Math. Anal. Numér. 29 (1995)...

Collisions and fractures: a model in S B D

Elena Bonetti, Michel Frémond (2004)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We investigate collisions (assumed to be instantaneous) and fractures of three-dimensional solids. Equations of motion and constitutive laws provide a set of partial differential equations, whose corresponding variational problem may be solved in the space of special functions with bounded deformations ( S B D ), exploiting the direct method of calculus of variations.
