Curve- like objects such as industrial cables, helicopter blades, plant stems and hair can be modelled as thin elastic rods. While surface-like objects such as paper, boat sails, leaves and cloth can be modelled as thin elastic plates and shells. The numerical study of the mechanical response of such structures is of the utmost importance in many applications of mechanical and civil engineering, bio-mechanics, computer graphics and other fields. In this dissertation we address several problems related to the numerical simulation of slender elastic structures subject to contact and friction constraints. This thesis is organized in three parts and each part can be read independently. We have, however, in numerous occasions throughout this manuscript, underlined the similarities between the problems considered in each part. Throughout this thesis we shall treat rods, plates and shells as finite dimensional multibody systems. When performing extensive numerical simulations of the dynamics of multibody sys- tems subject to Coulomb's friction, it is common to encounter configurations where the Coulomb friction solver fails to compute the contact forces. While these failures may sometimes be due to implementation errors or to numerical ill-conditioning, it is also often the case that they are due to Painlev´eparadoxes. Quite simply, in some configurations there may exist no contact force which can prevent the system from violating its contact constraints. This happens even for very simple mechanical systems, like that of a rigid rod sliding against a frictional plane, as Paul Painlev´efirst showed. In Part I of this manuscript we analyze the contact problem (whose unknowns are the accelerations and the contact forces) and we derive computable upper bounds on the friction coefficients at each contact, such that this problem is well-posed and Painlev´eparadoxes are avoided. The obtained results apply not only to flexible systems, but to any general multibody system. To approximate a rod or a shell as a multibody system, a spatial discretization procedure needs to be carried out. In Parts II and III we deal with the problem of how to carry out such spatial discretizations. Thin rod-like structures which may easily bend and twist but hardly stretch and shear can be modelled as Kirchhoff rods. In the second part of this manuscript we consider the problem of computing the stable static equilibria of Kirchhoff rods subject to different boundary conditions and to frictionless contact constraints. We formulate the problem as an Optimal Control Problem, where the strains of the rod are interpreted as control variables and the position and orientation of the rod are interpreted as state variables. This leads us to a new understanding of the finite element discretization of Kirchhoff rods developed in [3] and to the proposal of new spatial discretization schemes for Kirchhoff rods. The proposed schemes are either of the strain-based type, where the main degrees of freedom are the strains of the rod, or of the mixed type, where the main degrees of freedom are both the strains and the generalized displacements. Similarly to the case of Kirchhoff rods, thin surface-like structures such as paper can hardly 5 stretch or shear at all. One of the advantages of the strain based approach is that the no extension and no shear constraints of the Kirchhoff rod are handled intrinsically, without the need of stiff repulsion forces, or of further algebraic constraints on the degrees of freedom. In Part III of this manuscript we propose an extension of this approach to model the dynamics of inextensible and unshearable shells. We restrict our study to the case of a shell patch with a developable mid-surface. We use as primary degrees of freedom the components of the second fundamental form of the shell's mid-surface. This also leads to an intrinsic handling of the no shear and no extension constraints of the shell. To the best of our knowledge the strain based simulation of developable shells is a problem that had not been treated before.

  • Covariant Momentum Map for Non-Abelian Topological BF Field
    Covariant momentum map for non-Abelian topological BF field theory Alberto Molgado1,2 and Angel´ Rodr´ıguez–L´opez1 1 Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi Campus Pedregal, Av. Parque Chapultepec 1610, Col. Privadas del Pedregal, San Luis Potosi, SLP, 78217, Mexico 2 Dual CP Institute of High Energy Physics, Colima, Col, 28045, Mexico E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. We analyze the inherent symmetries associated to the non-Abelian topological BF theory from the geometric and covariant perspectives of the Lagrangian and the multisymplectic formalisms. At the Lagrangian level, we classify the symmetries of the theory as natural and Noether symmetries and construct the associated Noether currents, while at the multisymplectic level the symmetries of the theory arise as covariant canonical transformations. These transformations allowed us to build within the multisymplectic approach, in a complete covariant way, the momentum maps which are analogous to the conserved Noether currents. The covariant momentum maps are fundamental to recover, after the space plus time decomposition of the background manifold, not only the extended Hamiltonian of the BF theory but also the generators of the gauge transformations which arise in the instantaneous Dirac-Hamiltonian analysis of the first-class constraint structure that characterizes the BF model under study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first non-trivial physical model associated to General Relativity for which both natural and Noether symmetries have been analyzed at the multisymplectic level. Our study shed some light on the understanding of the manner in which the generators of gauge transformations may be recovered from the multisymplectic formalism for field theory.

  • Lectures on Classical Mechanics
    Lectures on Classical Mechanics John C. Baez Derek K. Wise (version of September 7, 2019) i c 2017 John C. Baez & Derek K. Wise ii iii Preface These are notes for a mathematics graduate course on classical mechanics at U.C. River- side. I've taught this course three times recently. Twice I focused on the Hamiltonian approach. In 2005 I started with the Lagrangian approach, with a heavy emphasis on action principles, and derived the Hamiltonian approach from that. This approach seems more coherent. Derek Wise took beautiful handwritten notes on the 2005 course, which can be found on my website: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/classical/ Later, Blair Smith from Louisiana State University miraculously appeared and volun- teered to turn the notes into LATEX . While not yet the book I'd eventually like to write, the result may already be helpful for people interested in the mathematics of classical mechanics. The chapters in this LATEX version are in the same order as the weekly lectures, but I've merged weeks together, and sometimes split them over chapter, to obtain a more textbook feel to these notes. For reference, the weekly lectures are outlined here. Week 1: (Mar. 28, 30, Apr. 1)|The Lagrangian approach to classical mechanics: deriving F = ma from the requirement that the particle's path be a critical point of the action. The prehistory of the Lagrangian approach: D'Alembert's \principle of least energy" in statics, Fermat's \principle of least time" in optics, and how D'Alembert generalized his principle from statics to dynamics using the concept of \inertia force".

In a straight- forward way, the matter Lagrangian contains background interaction fields, such as a 1-form field analogous to the electromagnetic vector potential and symmetric tensor for gravity. The geometric justification of the interaction field Lagrangians for the electromagnetic and gravitational interactions are emphasized. The generalization to E-dimensional extended objects (p-branes) embedded in a bulk space M is also discussed within the light of some familiar examples. The concept of fictitious accelerations due to un-proper time parametrization is introduced, and its implications are discussed. The framework naturally suggests new classical interaction fields beyond electromagnetism and gravity. The simplest model with such fields is analyzed and its relevance to dark matter and dark energy phenomena on large/cosmological scales is inferred. Unusual pathological behavior in the Newtonian limit is suggested to be a precursor of quantum effects and of inflation-like processes at microscopic scales. Citation: Gueorguiev, V.G.; Maeder, A.

  • Rigid Body Dynamic Simulation with Line and Surface Contact Jiayin Xie, Student Member, IEEE, Nilanjan Chakraborty , Member, IEEE
    1 Rigid Body Dynamic Simulation with Line and Surface Contact Jiayin Xie, Student Member, IEEE, Nilanjan Chakraborty , Member, IEEE, Abstract—In this paper, we develop a principled method to model line and surface contact with point contact (we call this point, equivalent contact point) that is consistent with physics- based models of surface (line) contact. Assuming that the set of contact points form a convex set, we solve the contact detection and dynamic simulation step simultaneously by formulating the problem as a mixed nonlinear complementarity problem. This allows us to simultaneously compute the equivalent contact point as well as the wrenches (forces and moments) at the equivalent contact point (consistent with the friction model) along with the Fig. 1: State-of-the-art dynamic simulation algorithms assume configuration and velocities of the rigid objects. Furthermore, that the contact between two objects is always a point contact we prove that the contact constraints of no inter-penetration (left). However, the contact may actually be a (middle) line between the objects is also satisfied. We present a geometri- cally implicit time-stepping scheme for dynamic simulation for or (right) surface contact. We develop a principled method to contacts between two bodies with convex contact area, which incorporate line and surface contact in rigid body dynamic includes line contact and surface contact. We prove that for simulation. surface and line contact, for any value of the velocity of center of mass of the object, there is a unique solution for contact point and contact wrench that satisfies the discrete-time equations of motion.

In this paper, we provide a full instruction on how to formulate and evaluate planar fric- tional contact problems in the spirit of non-smooth dynamics. By stating the equations of motion as an equality of measures, frictional contact reactions are taken into account by Lagrangian multipliers. Contact kinematics is formulated in terms of gap functions, and normal and tangential relative ve- locities. Associated frictional contact laws are stated as inclusions, incorporating impact behavior in form of Newtonian kinematic impacts. Based on this inequality formulation, a linear complementarity problem in standard form is presented, combined with Moreau’s time stepping method for numerical integration. This approach has been applied to the woodpecker toy, of which a complete parameter list and numerical results are given in the paper. Keywords: unilateral constraints, friction, impact, time stepping, linear complementary problem 1. Introduction During the last years, increasing interest in the behavior of dynamic systems with discontinuities has been observed in nonlinear dynamics, comprising in particular friction and impact problems. As research in the past was primarily focussed on systems with a single non-smooth interaction element, current trends point towards more and more complex situations, involving combined frictional and unilateral impact behavior and multi-contact problems.

  • Oblique Frictional Impact of a Bar: Analysis and Comparison of Different Impact Laws
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Nonlinear Dynamics (2005) 41: 361–383 c Springer 2005 Oblique Frictional Impact of a Bar: Analysis and Comparison of Different Impact Laws MATTHIAS PAYR and CHRISTOPH GLOCKER∗ IMES – Center of Mechanics, ETH Zurich, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland; ∗Author for correspondence (e-mail: [email protected]; fax: +41-1-632-1145) (Received: 3 March 2004; accepted: 14 December 2004) Abstract. In this paper a basic, easily to multi-contact problems extendable, non-smooth approach is applied to analyze a bar striking an inelastic half-space. Coulomb contact is assumed and modeled by using set-valued Newtonian impact laws in normal as well as in tangential direction. The resulting linear complementarity problem contains all possible impact states and provides an instantaneous collision operator that respects all inequality constraints. This operator depends on the orientation of the bar and determines uniquely the post-impact velocities as functions of the pre-impact state. Different types of solutions may occur, including “stick” and “slip”. In this context, stick and slip have to be understood as the two cases characterized by the tangential impulsive force as an element of either the set-valued or of the single-valued domain of the friction law. Depending on the choice of parameters, sign reversal of the tangential contact velocity is possible. For certain inertia properties and initial conditions, the collision operator yields an impact, even for initially vanishing normal contact velocity. This phenomenon is well known as the Painlev´e paradox.
