A new gradient elasticity formulation is proposed for a one-dimensional linear elastic inhomogeneous rod. In the new formulation, similar to the differential relation between the local strain and the gradient enhanced strain in the classical models of gradient elasticity, a differential relation is proposed for the Young's modulus. Analytical and finite element solutions of the proposed formulation are derived. Results of the proposed model are compared with a classical model of gradient elasticity for a model problem of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composite.

A robust algorithm for configurational-force-driven brittle crack propagation with R-adaptive mesh alignment MIEHE, CHRISTIAN; Gürses, Ercan (2007-10-08) The paper considers a variational formulation of brittle fracture in elastic solids and proposes a numerical implementation by a finite element method. On the theoretical side, we outline a consistent thermodynamic framework for crack propagation in an elastic solid. It is shown that both the elastic equilibrium response as well as the local crack evolution follow in a natural format by exploitation of a global Clausius-Planck inequality in the sense of Coleman's method. Here, the canonical direction of the...
A computational framework of configurational-force-driven brittle fracture based on incremental energy minimization MIEHE, CHRISTIAN; Gürses, Ercan; BIRKLE, MANUEL (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-06-01) A variational formulation of quasi-static brittle fracture in elastic solids at small strains is proposed and an associated finite element implementation is presented. On the theoretical side, a consistent thermodynamic framework for brittle crack propagation is outlined. It is shown that both the elastic equilibrium response as well as the local crack evolution follow in a natural format by exploitation of a global Clausius-Planck inequality. Here, the canonical direction of the crack propagation associate...
A discontinuous subgrid eddy viscosity method for the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations Kaya Merdan, Songül (Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 2005-01-01) In this paper we provide an error analysis of a subgrid scale eddy viscosity method using discontinuous polynomial approximations for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Optimal continuous in time error estimates of the velocity are derived. The analysis is completed with some error estimates for two fully discrete schemes, which are first and second order in time, respectively.
A gauge model of amorphous solids containing defects Dereli, Tekin; Vercin, Abdullah (Informa UK Limited, 1987-11) A gauge model of amorphous solids is formulated as a theory of connection in the orthonormal-frame bundle over the body manifold with the structure group SO(3). The construction of free-energy integrals and the properties of maximally symmetric configurations are discussed.
An exact finite element for a beam on a two-parameter elastic foundation: a revisit Gulkan, P; Alemdar, BN (1999-03-01) An analytical solution for the shape functions of a beam segment supported on a generalized two-parameter elastic foundation is derived. The solution is general, and is not restricted to a particular range of magnitudes of the foundation parameters. The exact shape functions can be utilized to derive exact analytic expressions for the coefficients of the element stiffness matrix, work equivalent nodal forces for arbitrary transverse loads and coefficients of the consistent mass and geometrical stiffness mat...
