We determine stability boundaries for the wrinkling of highly uni-directionally stretched, finely thin, rectangular elastic sheets. For a given fine thickness and length, a stability boundary here is a curve in the parameter plane, aspect…

In the context of elasticity theory, rigidity theorems allow to derive global properties of a deformation from local ones. This paper presents a new asymptotic version of rigidity, applicable to elastic bodies with sufficiently stiff…
We prove well-posedness, partial regularity, and stability of the thin-film equation $h_t + (m(h) h_{zzz})_z = 0$ with general mobility $m(h) = h^n$ and mobility exponent $n\in (1,\tfrac{3}{2})\cup (\tfrac{3}{2},3)$ in the regime of perfect…
This paper is concerned with the homogenization of Dirichlet problem of elliptic systems in a bounded, smooth domain of finite type. Both the coefficients of the elliptic operator and the Dirichlet boundary data are assumed to be periodic…
