Visco-Energetic solutions to one-dimensional rate-independent problems
Abstract
Visco-Energetic solutions of rate-independent systems are obtained by solving a modified time Incremental Minimization Scheme, where at each step the dissipation is reinforced by a viscous correction, typically a quadratic perturbation of the dissipation distance. Like Energetic and Balanced Viscosity solutions, they provide a variational characterization of rate-independent evolutions, with an accurate description of their jump behaviour. In the present paper we study Visco-Energetic solutions in the one-dimensional case and we obtain a full characterization for a broad class of energy functionals. In particular, we prove that they exhibit a sort of intermediate behaviour between Energetic and Balanced Viscosity solutions, which can be finely tuned according to the choice of the viscous correction.
