Analyses of fracture are discussed where the initial-boundary value problem formulation allows for the possibility of a complete loss of stress carrying capacity, with the associated creation of new free surface. No additional failure criterion is employed so that fracture arises as a natural outcome of the deformation process. Two types of analyses are reviewed. In one case, the material’s constitutive description incorporates a model of the failure mechanism; the nucleation, growth and coalescence of microvoids for ductile fracture in structural metals. In some analyses this is augmented with a simple characterization of failure by cleavage to analyze ductile-brittle transitions. The other class of problems involves specifying separation relations for one or more cohesive surfaces present in the continuum. The emphasis is on reviewing recent work on dynamic failure phenomena and the discussion centers around issues of length scales, size effects and the convergence of numerical solutions.

The Continuum

By specialization to the continuum problem of a general formulation of the initial/boundary value problem for every nonpotential operator (Tonti, 1984) and by virtue of a suitable choice of the “integrating operator,” a comprehensive energy formulation is established. Referring to the small strain and displacement case in the presence of any inelastic generally nonlinear constitutive law, provided that it is differentiable, this formulation allows us to derive extensions of well-known principles of elasticity (Hu-Washizu, Hellinger-Reissner, total potential energy, and complementary energy). An illustrative example is given. Peculiar properties of the formulation are the energy characterization of the functional and the use of Green functions of the same problem in the elastic range for every inelastic, generally nonlinear material considered.

Standard application of similarity method to find solutions of PDEs mostly results in reduction to ODEs which are not easily integrable in terms of elementary or tabulated functions. Such situations usually demand solving reduced ODEs numerically. However, there are no systematic procedures available to utilize these numerical solutions of reduced ODE to obtain the solution of original PDE. A practical and tractable approach is proposed to deal with such situations and is applied to obtain approximate similarity solutions to different cases of an initial-boundary value problem of unsteady gas flow through a semi-infinite porous medium.

AbstractIn this paper we investigate an initial-boundary value problem for the Burgers equation on the positive quarter-plane; $\matrix{ {{v_t} + v{v_x} - {v_{xx}} = 0,\,\,\,x > 0,\,\,\,t > 0,} \cr {v\left( {x,0} \right) = {u_ + },\,\,\,x > 0,} \cr {v\left( {0,t} \right) = {u_b},\,\,t > 0,} \cr }$ where x and t represent distance and time, respectively, and u+ is an initial condition, ub is a boundary condition which are constants (u+ ≠ ub). Analytic solution of above problem is solved depending on parameters (u+ and ub) then compared with numerical solutions to show there is a good agreement with each solutions.

Dynamics and hysteresis of an elongated droplet under the action of a rotating magnetic field is considered for mathematical modelling. The shape of droplet is found by regularization of the ill-posed initial–boundary value problem for nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE). It is shown that two methods of the regularization – introduction of small viscous bending torques and construction of monotonous continuous functions are equivalent. Their connection with the regularization of the ill-posed reverse problems for the parabolic equation of heat conduction is remarked. Spatial discretization is carried out by the finite difference scheme (FDS). Time evolution of numerical solutions is obtained using method of lines for solving a large system of ordinary differential equations (ODE).

The transient cooldown of a gray, absorbing, isotropic scattering, emitting, and conducting medium bounded by gray, diffusely emitting and reflecting parallel plates is considered. Numerical solutions are obtained for the initial boundary-value problem with a discontinuous decrease in temperature at one boundary. The quasi-steady equation of radiative transfer is solved using Gaussian quadrature and a matrix eigenvector technique together with explicit numerical solution of the unsteady energy equation. Temperature and energy flux distributions are presented for variations of optical thickness, boundary emissivity, albedo, and conduction–radiation parameter.

Initial Boundary Value

In this paper, a new nonlinear initial-boundary value problem for a Boussinesq equation is formulated. And a coupled system of nonlinear integral equations, equivalent to the new initial-boundary value problem, is constructed for integrating the initial-boundary value problem, but which is inherently different from other conventional formulations for integral equations. For the numerical solutions, successive approximations are applied, which leads to a functional iterative formula. A propagating solitary wave is simulated via iterating the formula, which is in good agreement with the known exact solution.

Abstract In this work, we consider an initial boundary-value problem for a stochastic evolution equation with fractional Laplacian and white noise on the first quadrant. To construct the integral representation of solutions we adapt the main ideas of the Fokas method and by using Picard scheme we prove its existence and uniqueness. Moreover, Monte Carlo methods are implemented to find numerical solutions for particular examples.

ON BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR FIRST-ORDER SYMMETRIC HYPERBOLIC SYSTEMS WITH CONSTRAINTS

The Cauchy problem for many first-order symmetric hyperbolic (FOSH) systems is constraint preserving, i.e. the solution satisfies certain spatial differential constraints whenever the initial data does. Frequently, artificial space cut-offs are performed for such evolution systems, usually out of the necessity for finite computational domains. However, it may easily happen that boundary conditions at the artificial boundary for such a system lead to an initial boundary value problem which, while well-posed, does not preserve the constraints. Here we consider the problem of finding constraint-preserving boundary conditions for constrained FOSH systems in the well-posed class of maximal non-negative boundary conditions. Based on a characterization of maximal non-negative boundary conditions, we discuss a systematic technique for finding such boundary conditions that preserve the constraints, pending that the constraints satisfy a FOSH system themselves. We exemplify this technique by analyzing a system of wave equations in a first-order formulation subject to divergence constraints.

AbstractThis paper presents high-resolution computations of a two-phase gas-solid mixture using a well-defined mathematical model. The HLL Riemann solver is applied to solve the Riemann problem for the model equations. This solution is then employed in the construction of upwind Godunov methods to solve the general initial-boundary value problem for the two-phase gas-solid mixture. Several representative test cases have been carried out and numerical solutions are provided in comparison with existing numerical results. To demonstrate the robustness, effectiveness and capability of these methods, the model results are compared with reference solutions. In addition to that, these results are compared with the results of other simulations carried out for the same set of test cases using other numerical methods available in the literature. The diverse comparisons demonstrate that both the model equations and the numerical methods are clear in mathematical and physical concepts for two-phase fluid flow problems.
