This paper concerns the reconstruction of multiple elastic parameters (Lam\'e parameters and density) of an inhomogeneous medium embedded in an infinite homogeneous isotropic background in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The direct scattering problem is…
An acoustic cloak envelopes an object so that sound incident from all directions passes through and around the cloak as though the object were not present. A theory of acoustic cloaking is developed using the transformation or…

We rigorously justify the bilayer shallow-water system as an approximation to the hydrostatic Euler equations in situations where the flow is density-stratified with close-to-piecewise constant density profiles, and close-to-columnar…
Based on the shearlet transform we present a general construction of continuous tight frames for $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ from any sufficiently smooth function with anisotropic moments. This includes for example compactly supported systems,…
We propose and analyze a mathematical model of the mechanics of gels, consisting of the laws of balance of mass and linear momentum. We consider a gel to be an immiscible and incompressible mixture of a nonlinearly elastic polymer and a…
In elasticity, the design of a cloaking for an inclusion or a void to leave a vibrational field unperturbed by its presence, so to achieve its invisibility, is a thoroughly analyzed, but still unchallenged, mechanical problem. The 'cloaking…

We address semigroup well-posedness for a linear, compressible viscous fluid interacting at its boundary with an elastic plate. We derive the model by linearizing the compressible Navier-Stokes equations about an arbitrary flow state, so…

The elasticity of disordered and polydisperse polymer networks is a fundamental problem of soft matter physics that is still open. Here, we self-assemble polymer networks via simulations of a mixture of bivalent and tri- or tetravalent…
We prove the existence of the weak solutions to the compressible Navier--Stokes system with barotropic pressure $p(\varrho)=\varrho^\gamma$ for $\gamma\geq 9/5$ in three space dimension. The novelty of the paper is the approximation scheme…
Viscous streaming is an efficient mechanism to exploit inertia at the microscale for flow control. While streaming from rigid features has been thoroughly investigated, when body compliance is involved, as in biological settings, little is…
I investigate the scattering properties of transformation devices as the traditional impedance matching criteria are altered. This is demonstrated using simple theory and augmented by numerical simulations that investigate the role of…

We approximate the quasi-static equation of linear elasticity in translation invariant spaces on the torus. This unifies different FFT-based discretisation methods into a common framework and extends them to anisotropic lattices. We analyse…
Light diffusion is usually associated with thick, opaque media. Indeed, multiple scattering is necessary for the onset of the diffusive regime and such condition is generally not met in almost transparent media. Nonetheless, at long enough…
We propose two parameter-robust mixed finite element methods for linear Cosserat elasticity. The Cosserat coupling constant $\mu_c$, connecting the displacement $u$ and rotation vector $\omega$, leads to possible locking phenomena in finite…
