We consider a thin multidomain of $\mathbb R^3,$ consisting of a vertical rod upon a horizontal disk. The equilibrium configurations of the thin hyperelastic multidomain, allowing for fracture and damage, are described by means of a bulk…
This work is concerned with an asymptotic analysis, in the sense of $\Gamma$-convergence, of a sequence of variational models of brittle damage in the context of linearized elasticity. The study is performed as the damaged zone concentrates…
The subject of this paper is the rigorous derivation of reduced models for a thin plate by means of {\Gamma}-convergence, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by {\epsilon} the thickness of the plate, we analyse the case where…
We establish a weak Harnack inequality for nonlocal $W^{s,1}$-subminimizers in a complete, connected, doubling metric measure space where $0<s<1$. As a corollary, we prove that $W^{s,1}$-subminimizers are semicontinuous, up to a suitable…
