    Abstract:
    The fat boundary method (FBM) is a fictitious domain method, proposed to solve Poisson problems in a domain with small perforations. It can achieve higher accuracy around holes, which makes it very suitable to solve elasticity problems because stress concentrations often appear around holes. However, there are some strict restrictions of the FBM limiting the wide range of applications. For example, the original FBM deals with perforated rectangular domain with only Dirichlet boundary conditions. Furthermore, because the global domain is extended to the holes, analytical solutions in holes corresponding to the Dirichlet boundary conditions around holes are required. This limits both the boundary conditions around holes and the shape of holes, because for arbitrary holes it is difficult to get the analytical solutions. This article makes an attempt to break these limitations and apply the FBM to elasticity. Firstly, we review the FBM and introduce Neumann boundary conditions to the rectangular domain. A mathematical proof of the conditional convergence of the algorithm is presented. Furthermore, the FBM is compared with the Lagrange multiplier method to clarify that the FBM is one kind of weak imposition method. Then we apply the FBM to linear elasticity and the dual fat boundary method is proposed to solve problems without analytical solutions in holes. Some numerical examples are presented to verify the method proposed here.

    Abstract A FETI–DP method is introduced for the problem of linear P–elasticity which arises from linear elasticity by the introduction of a matrix P and which is motivated by micromorphic models. Numerical results as well as a condition number estimate are presented. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

    This lecture intends to describe the asymptotic behaviour of the displacement in a linear elastic body containing either a thin non-linear elastic layer or thin reinforcing fibres, when the thinness of these layer or fibres tends to 0. The main purpose of this talk is to present the functional analysis which leads to these asymptotic results in the framework of linear elasticity.

    This paper examines the effects of relaxing the assumption of classical linear elasticity that the loads act in their entirety on the undeformed shape. Instead, loads here are applied incrementally as deformation proceeds, and resulting fields are integrated. A formal statement of the attendant integrated elasticity theory is provided. A class of problems is identified for which this formulation is amenable to solution in closed form. Some results from these configurations are compared with linear elasticity and experimentally measured data. The comparisons indicate that, as deformation increases, integrated elasticity is capable of tracking the physical response better than linear elasticity.

    We consider the following special problem related to the optimal layout problems of materials: given two linear elastic materials, the elasticity tensors of which are C 1 and C 2 , and a force f , find the strong closure of strains and stresses as the distribution of the materials varies, or, alternatively, find the sets of elasticity tensors which generate these strong closures. In this paper, it is shown that the local incompatibility conditions depending on C 1 , C 2 and the local properties of strains or stresses completely characterize these sets. A connection to multiple-well problems is established.

    Abstract Solutions are given to four two‐dimensional exterior problems in a linear, mechanically homogeneous, isotropic and centrosymmetric elastic solid of grade two (Toupin [1], p. 87). bounded internally by a circular cylindrical cavity. The solutions are found to be size dependent and to exhibit boundary layer effects. The results are compared to the corresponding results in classical elasticity, couple‐stress theory and micropolar elasticity.

    In this paper we solve a simple dead load problem for an isotropic constrained material according to the linearized finite theory of elasticity. We show that the solution of such a problem can be obtained by linearizing with re- spect to the displacement gradient the solution of the corresponding problem in finite elasticity for an isotropic material subject to the same constraint, exactly as occurs for the constitutive equations of the two theories. On the contrary, the solution of the same dead load problem provided by the classical linear elasticity for constrained materials can be obtained by the solution of the corresponding problem for the unconstrained linear elastic material for limiting behaviour of suitable elastic moduli. The same applies for the constitutive equations of the classical linear elasticity for constrained materials: they are derived by those of the linear elasticity for unconstrained materials for limiting values of some elastic modulus. Finally we compare the solutions in finite elasticity, linearized finite theory of elasticity, classical linear elasticity for constrained materials and we show that they are in agreement with different hypotheses on the prescribed loads.
