A hyperelastic model with a polyconvex energy density is employed to describe the elastic behavior of a body. The two approaches to derive the nonlinear partial differential equation, a balance of forces and an energy minimization, are compared. Besides the conventional volume and boundary loads, two novel internal loads are presented. Furthermore, curvilinear coordinates and a hierarchical plate model can be incorporated into the formulation of the elastic forward problem. The forward problem can be solved with Newton's method, though a globalization technique should be used to avoid divergence of Newton's method. The repeated solution of the Newton system is done by a CG or MinRes method with a multigrid V-cycle as a preconditioner. The optimal control problem consists of the displacement (as the state) and a load (as the control). Besides the standard tracking-type objective, alternative objective functionals are presented for problems where a reasonable desired state cannot be provided. Two methods are proposed to solve the optimal control problem: an all- at-once approach by a Lagrange-Newton method and a reduced formulation by a quasi-Newton method with an inverse limited-memory BFGS update. The algorithms for the solution of the forward problem and the optimal control prob- lem are implemented in the finite-element software FEniCS, with the geometrical multigrid extension FMG. Numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the mesh independence of the algorithms and both optimization methods. 1 Introduction 1.1 Motivation Elastic deformations are a common phenomenon in nature: for example, large parts of the tissues of animals are elastic, otherwise movements would be impossible or would cause damage due to material fatigue. But also in modern technology, elastic parts are often components of machines and devices, which allow a flexible shape or movement. There are cases where the shape of the deformed elastic part is of interest, and the question arises how a certain shape can be attained. We consider the case where an exterior or interior load acts on the body and we try to find a load that deforms the body in a desired way. This will be formulated as an optimal control problem. As we seek a noticeable change in the shape of the body, we expect the deformation to be large, which requires an elasticity model for large (non-infinitesimal) defor- mations. These models are inherently nonlinear and challenging to solve. In this thesis, we focus on polyconvex hyperelasticity models, which can be formulated as an energy minimization problem. This will constitute our forward problem: the computation of the deformation of an elastic body for a given load. This forward problem is the basis for the optimal control problem, where we seek to find a load such that the deformation is close to the desired one. One possible application in medicine of implant design is investigated by Lars Lubkoll, Anton Schiela and Martin Weiser, see Lubkoll et al.(2012). Consider a patient who lost a part of his jaw bone along with the skin due to an accident. The bone could be replaced by an implant that is reconstructed from the undamaged part of the intact jaw bone. The skin can be transplanted from another part of the body, but the thickness and elastic behavior is likely to be different than that of the original facial skin. As a consequence, the facial reconstruction might be unsatisfactory to the patient as symmetry in facial structures is a key aspect to appearance. In order to improve this procedure, the implant could be modeled in such a way that the resulting facial structure matches the undamaged right half of the jaw. The authors have shown that the optimal control problem with a contact between the rigid implant and the elastic skin can be reformulated as an optimal control problem with a boundary load. In this setting, the deformation of the skin is the state and the boundary load on the inside is the control. Other applications can be found in industrial manufacturing. 2 1 Introduction The elasticity model which is used in this thesis is fundamental to extensions like elasto-plastic material models for large deformations. Several mathematicians in Germany are working on the optimal control of elasto-plasticity. The Sonder- forschungsbereich (SFB) 666: Integral Sheet Metal Design with Higher Order Bifur- cations has a project on optimal control of deep-drawing processes, investigated by Stefan Ulbrich and Daniela Bratzke from the TU Darmstadt. Furthermore, Michael Stingl and Stefan Werner from the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-N¨urn- berg worked on the optimal control of hot rolling processes, in which friction plays an important role.

Such processes play an impor- tant role in many applications like plasticity and phase transformations in elastic solids, electromagnetism, dry friction on surfaces, or in pinning problems in super- conductivity, cf. [Vis94, BrS96]. The evolution equations which govern those processes constitute the limit problems if the influence of inertia and relaxation times vanishes, i.e. the system rests unless the external loading is varied. Only the stick-slip dynamics is present in the Cauchy problem, this means that the evolution equations are necessarily non-autonomous. Although the solutions often exhibit quite singular behavior, the reduced framework offers great advantages. Firstly the amount of modelling can be reduced to its absolute minimum. More importantly, our approach is only based on energy principles. This allows us to treat the Cauchy problem by mainly using variational techniques. This robustness is necessary in order to study problems which come from continuum mechanics, like plasticity, cf. [Mie02, CHM02, Mie03].

  • Parabolic H-Measures
    Nenad Antoni´c1 & Martin Lazar23 Parabolic H-measures To appear in Journal of Functional Analysis Abstract Classical H-measures introduced by Tartar (1990) and independently by G´erard(1991) are not well suited for the study of parabolic equations. Recently, several parabolic variants have been proposed, together with a number of applications. We introduce a new parabolic variant (and call it the parabolic H-measure), which is suitable for these known applications. Moreover, for this variant we prove the localisation and propagation principle, establishing a basis for more demanding applications of parabolic H-measures, similarly as it was the case with classical H- measures. In particular, the propagation principle enables us to write down a transport equation satisfied by the parabolic H-measure associated to a sequence of solutions of a Schr¨odingertype equation. Some applications to specific equations are presented, illustrating the possible use of this new tool. A comparison to similar results for classical H-measures has been made as well.

The subject is examined from the point of view of nonlin- ear programming, beginning with the analytical structure of the first and second derivatives associated with such problems and the relation of these derivatives to implicit differentiation and equality constrained optimization. We also out- line an error analysis of the analytical formulae and compare the results with similar results for finite-difference estimates of derivatives. We then attend to an investigation of the nature of the adjoint method and the adjoint equations and their relation to directions of steepest descent. We illustrate the points dis- cussed with an optimization problem in which the variables are the coefficients in a differential operator. *This research was supported by" the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under NASA Contract No. NAS1-194S0 while the author was in residence at the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE), NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton.
