    Notes: Summary The boundary-value problem for rods having arbitrary geometry, and subjected to arbitrary loading, is studied within the context of the small-strain theory. The basic assumptions underlying the rod kinematics are those corresponding to the Timoshenko hypotheses in the plane rectilinear case: that is, plane sections normal to the line of centroids in the undeformed state remain plane, but not necessarily normal. The problem is formulated in both the standard and mixed variational forms, and after establishing the existence and uniqueness of solutions to these equivalent problems, the corresponding discrete problems are studied. Finite element approximations of the mixed problem are shown to be stable and convergent. It is shown that the equivalence between the mixed problem and the standard problem with selective reduced integration holds only for the case of rods having constant curvature and torsion, though. The results of numerical experiments are presented; these confirm the convergent behaviour of the mixed problem.

    Notes: Summary The stability and convergence of mixed finite element methods are investigated, for an equilibrium problem for thin shallow elastic arches. The problem in its standard form contains two terms, corresponding to the contributions from the shear and axial strains, with a small parameter. Lagrange multipliers are introduced, to formulate the problem in an alternative mixed form. Questions of existence and uniqueness of solutions to the standard and mixed problems are addressed. It is shown that finite element approximations of the mixed problem are stable and convergent. Reduced integration formulations are equivalent to a mixed formulation which in general is distinct from the formulation shown to be stable and convergent, except when the order of polynomial interpolationt of the arch shape satisfies 1≦t≦min (2,r) wherer is the order of polynomial approximation of the unknown variables.

    Notes: Abstract The properties of acceleration waves are investigated for situations in which the waves propagate in isotropic heat-conducting elastic media subject to arbitrary sets of constraints. Conditions under which waves may exist in the presence of constraints are investigated for classes of constraints broad enough to encompass all those encountered in practice. Attention is focussed on principal waves, and results are presented for the growth of the amplitudes of such waves first for fronts of arbitrary curvature, and subsequently by specialisation for plane, cylindrical and spherical waves travelling in material which has undergone one-dimensional plane deformation, cylindrically symmetric and spherically symmetric deformation, respectively.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario La presente Memoria riprende in esame, nell'ottica dell'analisi convessa, i concetti di funzioni di dissipazione e di superfici di snervamento generalmente regolari, fondamentali nella plasticità classica, applicandoli nel contesto di una descrizione del solido elasto-plastico mediante variabili interne. Innanzitutto si ricordano le argomentazioni per cui la superficie di snervamento è un concetto derivato in una teoria che assume l'esistenza di una funzione ‘energia di deformazione’ quadratica e positiva semidefinita e di una funzione ‘dissipazione’ convessa e omogenea, nel caso in cui la funzione dissipazione è differenziabile ovunque tranne che nell'origine. Si considera quindi il caso di una molteplicità di meccanismi operativi. La funzione dissipazione globale è l'inviluppo convesso delle funzioni dissipazione locali; ne consegue, attraverso una generalizzazione della trasformazione nel caso di regolarità, una funzione di snervamento generalmente regolare.
    Notes: Abstract In this paper we reconsider the basic concepts of piecewise smooth dissipation functions and yield surfaces in classical plasticity. This re-examination is from the perspective of convex analysis, and is applied to an internal variable description of the elastic-plastic solid. First, we recapitulate the arguments in which the yield surface is a derived concept in a theory which assumes the existence of a positive semi-definite quadratic strain energy function and a convex homogeneous dissipation function, in the case where the dissipation function is differentiable everywhere except at the origin. We then consider the case of a multiplicity of dissipation mechanisms, and the determination of the operative mechanism or mechanisms. The global dissipation function is theconvex hull of the local dissipation functions. A piecewise smooth yield function follows through a generalization of the transformation for the smooth case.

    Notes: Abstract To determine the potential pathogenicity ofAlternaria alternata, we exposed rabbits and guinea pigs to the organism by intradermal and intraperitoneal injection and by scarification. It caused superficial mycosis when inoculated by scarification. An antigenic extract of it that we prepared and used in ring precipitation tests demonstrated precipitating antibodies in the experimentally infected animals.

    Notes: Abstract The obstacle problem for elastoplastic bodies is considered within the framework of general existence results for unilateral problems recently presented by Baiocchiet al. Two models of plasticity are considered: one is based on a displacement-plastic strain formulation and the second, a specialization of the first, is the standard Hencky model. Existence theorems are given for the Neumann problem for a body constrained to lie on or above the half-space {x∈ℝ3:x 3≤0}. For hardening materials the displacements are sought in the Sobolev spaceH 1(Ω, ℝ3) while for perfectly plastic materials they are sought in BD(Ω), the space of functions of bounded deformation. Conditions for the existence of solutions are given in terms of compatibility and safe load conditions on applied loads.

    Notes: Summary It is shown that a boundary-value problem based on a holonomic elastic-plastic constitutive law may be formulated equivalently as a variational inequality of the second kind. A regularised form of the problem is analysed, and finite element approximations are considered. It is shown that solutions based on finite element approximation of the regularised problem converge.

    Notes: Abstract Propagation conditions are derived for a thermoelastic material subject to arbitrary thermo-kinematic constraints. The results are rendered more concise by rephrasing existing thermodynamic theories for constrained materials in such a way, that the constraint equations may be absorbed into the free energy function. Propagation conditions for homothermal and homentropic waves are shown to be of Fresnel-Hadamard type. Equations governing the growth of acceleration amplitude are also derived for plane homothermal or homentropic waves; these are shown to be similar to the corresponding equations for unconstrained materials.

    Notes: The incremental holonomic boundary-value problem in elastoplasticity has been shown to be characterized by a variational inequality. The problem may be approximated, however, by a perturbed minimization problem, characterized by a variational equality. This formulation is used as the basis for constructing finite element approximations of the original boundary-value problem, leading to a system of non-linear algebraic equations. Procedures for solving these equations are described and numerical results are presented and compared with those obtained using a conventional approach.

    Notes: The standard bilinear displacement field of the plane linear elastic rectangular 4-node quadrilateral element is enhanced by incompatible modes. The resulting gradient operators are separated into constant and linear parts corresponding to underintegration and stabilization of the element stiffness matrix. Minimization of potential energy is used to generate exact analytical expressions for the hourglass stabilization of the rectangle. The stabilized element is shown to coincide with the element obtained by the mixed assumed strain method.
