AbstractWe study the planar deformation of a beam that travels across a given control domain supported by a moving rough plane, which is a prototype for various technological processes. A sufficiently small misalignment between the guideways at the ends of the domain results in a stationary regime of motion, which features a zone of sticking contact near the entry to the control domain, followed by infinitely many segments of transverse sliding with alternating directions. Self-similarity of this solution of an essentially nonlinear boundary value problem is the primary novel result of the present contribution. Closed-form analytic results are validated against a finite element simulation of the transient evolution process, which demonstrates stability of the obtained solution and provides insights regarding the characteristic time scales of establishing of subsequent zones of sliding.

For a continuous feeding of sheet metals in forming press lines mechanical roll and gripper feeders are used. Typical resulting problems are the damage of the sheet surface due to the mechanical contact. The present contribution deals with the investigations of an electromagnetic material feeder for electric conductive sheet metals. The concept is based on the principle of an asynchronous linear motor. Here the sheet metal acts directly as the secondary part. The new approach was first analysed and designed by means of finite element simulation. With experimental measurements the simulations could be validated using a demonstrator of the electromagnetic feeder. The results indicate that the feeding forces of partially 1000 N can be doubled in comparison to conventional mechanical roll feeders.

We study the existence of multiple solutions for a fourth-order nonlinear boundary value problem. We give some new criteria for guaranteeing that the fourth-order elastic beam equation with a perturbed term has at least three solutions. The proof is based on some three critical points theorems of B. Ricceri. Furthermore, numerical simulations are also presented.

The increasing use of finite element simulation in the field of composite material forming involved in the past few years a large among of research on the constitutive modelling of textile material at the mesoscopic scale (i.e. the scale of individual fibre tow). Up to now, a consensus does not exist on the most appropriate approach. The present contribution aims on the comparison between hypo-and hyper-elastic approaches to describe the mechanical behaviour of a single tow in the framework of nonlinear continuum mechanics. A particular attention is paid to the ease of implementation in standard finite element codes.

This paper concerns the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium states of a beam-column with hinged ends which is acted upon by axial compression and lateral forces and is in contact with a semi-infinite medium acting as a foundation. The problem is formulated as a fourth-order nonlinear boundary value problem in which the source of the nonlinearity comes from the lateral constraint (the foundation). Treating the equation of equilibrium as a nonlinear eigenvalue problem we prove the existence of a pair of eigenvalue/eigenfunction for each arbitrary prescribed energy level. Treating the equilibrium equation as a nonlinear boundary value problem we prove the existence and uniqueness of solution for a certain range of the acting axial compression force.

This paper presents a model for predicting the contaminated mixing volume arising in pipeline batch transfers without physical separators. The proposed technique represents an improvement over the existing methods since it takes into account time-dependent flow rates and accurate concentration-varying axial dispersion coefficients. The governing equation of the model forms a nonlinear boundary-value problem that is solved by a finite element method coupled to the Newton’s method. A comparison among the theoretical predictions of this method, a field test, and other classical procedures show that the proposed method exhibits the best estimate over the whole range of admissible concentrations investigated.
