We study the propagation of elastic waves in the time-harmonic regime in a waveguide which is unbounded in one direction and bounded in the two other (transverse) directions. We assume that the waveguide is thin in one of these transverse…

In this article, we analyse a stabilised equal-order finite element approximation for the Stokes equations on anisotropic meshes. In particular, we allow arbitrary anisotropies in a sub-domain, for example along the boundary of the domain,…

We develop a cut finite element method (CutFEM) for convection-diffusion problems posed on mixed-dimensional domains, i.e., unions of manifolds of different dimensions arranged in a hierarchical structure where lower-dimensional components…

We present a comprehensive rotation-free Kirchhoff-Love (KL) shell formulation for peridynamics (PD) that is capable of modeling large elasto-plastic deformations and fracture in thin-walled structures. To remove the need for a predefined…

We consider the nonaxisymmetric linear theory of radially-stratified disks. We work in a shearing-sheet-like approximation, where the vertical structure of the disk is neglected, and develop equations for the evolution of a plane-wave…

We develop a unified framework for a broad class of nonlocal elliptic problems, encompassing a wide spectrum of nonlocal terms, including the classical Kirchhoff and Carrier-type equations as particular cases, and nonlinearities having…

The Cahn-Hilliard model with reaction terms can lead to situations in which no coarsening is taking place and, in contrast, growth and division of droplets occur which all do not grow larger than a certain size. This phenomenon has been…

Curved thin sheets are ubiquitously found in nature and manmade structures. Within the framework of classical thin plate theory, the stiffness of thin sheets is independent of its bending state. This assumption, however, goes against…
