This article is the second of a three-part series that derives a self-consistent theoretical framework of the electromechanics of arbitrarily curved lipid membranes. Existing continuum theories commonly treat lipid membranes as strictly…
We establish a $\Gamma$-convergence result for $h\to 0$ of a thin nonlinearly elastic 3D-plate of thickness $h>0$ which is assumed to be glued to a support region in the 2D-plane $x_3=0$ over the $h$-2D-neighborhood of a given closed set…
A reduced dynamical model is derived which describes the interaction of weak inertia-gravity waves with nonlinear vortical motion in the context of rotating shallow-water flow. The formal scaling assumptions are (i) that there is a…
We present recent developments of the Discrete Non-Orthogonal Shell Model (DNO-SM) for nuclear structure studies far from stability. Exact shell-model solutions are obtained for typical open-shell light sd and pf nuclei using non-orthogonal…
We derive analytic solutions of a chameleon scalar field $\phi$ that couples to a non-relativistic matter in the weak gravitational background of a spherically symmetric body, paying particular attention to a field mass $m_A$ inside of the…
In this paper we consider a family of three-dimensional problems in thermoelasticity for linear elliptic membrane shells and study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution when the thickness tends to zero.We fully characterize with strong…

We review the properties of the nonlinearly dispersive Navier-Stokes-alpha (NS-alpha) model of incompressible fluid turbulence -- also called the viscous Camassa-Holm equations and the LANS equations in the literature. We first re-derive…
This is the first in a series of two papers in which we derive a $\Gamma$-expansion for a two-dimensional non-local Ginzburg-Landau energy with Coulomb repulsion, also known as the Ohta-Kawasaki model in connection with diblock copolymer…
Numerical modeling of strength and non-destructive testing of complex structures such as buildings, space rockets or oil reservoirs often involves calculations on extremely large grids. The modeling of elastic wave processes in solids…
We propose an abstract framework for the homogenization of random functionals which may contain non-convex terms, based on a two-scale $\Gamma$-convergence approach and a definition of Young measures on micropatterns which encodes the…
We prove a \(\Gamma\)-convergence result for a diffeomorphism-natural discrete MDL-type functional to the Einstein-Hilbert action with the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term. On boundary-fitted, shape-regular meshes we establish interior…
In this review, we present a symmetry-guided strategy that utilizes exact as well as partial symmetries for enabling a deeper understanding of and advancing ab initio studies for determining the microscopic structure of atomic nuclei. These…
We consider a model, which we named the Kakinuma model, for interfacial gravity waves. As is well-known, the full model for interfacial gravity waves has a variational structure whose Lagrangian is an extension of Luke's Lagrangian for…
In this article, we derive a model for a shell that is frictionally coupled to an elastic foundation. We use Kikuchi and Oden's model for Coulomb's law of static friction to derive a displacement-based static-friction law for a shell on an…
This paper deals with the homogenization through $\Gamma$-convergence of weakly coercive integral energies with the oscillating density $\mathbb{L}(x/\epsilon)\nabla v : \nabla v$ in three-dimensional elasticity. The energies are weakly…
We prove a relation between the scaling $h^\beta$ of the elastic energies of shrinking non-Euclidean bodies $S_h$ of thickness $h\to 0$, and the curvature along their mid-surface $S$. This extends and generalizes similar results for plates…

We derive a continuum model for incompatible elasticity as a variational limit of a family of discrete nearest-neighbor elastic models. The discrete models are based on discretizations of a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,\mathfrak{g})$,…
We consider a control system describing the interaction of water waves with a partially immersed rigid body constraint to move only in the vertical direction. The fluid is modeled by the shallow water equations. The control signal is a…
