In this paper we treat the numerical approximation of the two-phase parabolic obstacle-like problem: \[\Delta u -u_t=\lambda^+\cdot\chi_{\{u>0\}}-\lambda^-\cdot\chi_{\{u<0\}},\quad (t,x)\in (0,T)\times\Omega,\] where $T < \infty, \lambda^+…

Surface roughness is known to easily suppress the adhesion of elastic surfaces. Here a simple model for the contact of \emph{viscoelastic} rough surfaces with significant levels of adhesion is presented. This approach is derived from our…

A classical result by Buchdahl \cite{Bu1} shows that for static solutions of the spherically symmetric Einstein-matter system, the total ADM mass M and the area radius R of the boundary of the body, obey the inequality $2M/R\leq 8/9.$ The…

We consider several models (including both multidimensional ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs), possibly ill-posed), subject to very strong damping and quasi-periodic external forcing. We study…

We generalize the F\"{o}ppl-von K\'arm\'an equations to an initially precurved sheet and present the underlying derivation. A geometrically computed moment of strain replaces the notion of bending moment and results in a geometric…

We study suspensions of solid particles in a viscous incompressible fluid in the presence of highly oscillatory velocity-dependent surface forces. The flow at a small Reynolds number is modeled by the Stokes equations coupled with the…

We perform numerical simulations of purely repulsive soft colloidal particles interacting via a generalized elastic potential and constrained to a two-dimensional plane and to the surface of a spherical shell. For the planar case, we…

How much energy does it take to stamp a thin elastic shell flat? Motivated by recent experiments on the wrinkling patterns of floating shells, we develop a rigorous method via $\Gamma$-convergence for answering this question to leading…

In this article, we investigate a density problem coming from the linearization of Calder\'on's problem with partial data. More precisely, we prove that the set of products of harmonic functions on a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ vanishing…

We consider a prototypical "stretching plus bending" functional of an elastic shell. The shell is modeled as a d-dimensional Riemannian manifold endowed, in addition to the metric, with a reference second fundamental form. The shell is…

We consider a class of models motivated by previous numerical studies of wrinkling in highly stretched, thin rectangular elastomer sheets. The model used is characterized by a finite-strain hyperelastic membrane energy perturbed by small…

We study viscosity solutions to complex hessian equations. In the local case, we consider $\Omega$ a bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}^n,$ $\beta$ the standard K\"{a}hler form in $\mathcal{C}^n$ and $1\leq m\leq n.$ Under some suitable…

In this paper we derive, by means of $\Gamma$-convergence, the shallow shell models starting from non linear three dimensional elasticity. We use the approach analogous to the one for shells and plates. We start from the minimization…

We study the $\Gamma$-limit of 3d nonlinear elasticity for shells of small, variable thickness, around an arbitrary smooth 2d surface.

An initial-boundary value problem for \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} u_{tt} = \big(\gamma(\Theta) u_{xt}\big)_x + au_{xx} - \big(f(\Theta)\big)_x, \qquad & x\in\Omega, \ t>0, \\[1mm] \Theta_t = \Theta_{xx} + \gamma(\Theta) u_{xt}^2 -…

In this work, we consider the interaction of a 3D incompressible fluid with a 2D flexible shell that occupies (a part of) the boundary of the fluid domain. We assume that the shell is perfectly elastic while the fluid is governed by the…

We prove that the support of an $ m $ dimensional rectifiable varifold with a uniform lower bound on the density and bounded generalized mean curvature can be covered $ \mathscr{H}^{m} $ almost everywhere by a countable union of $m$…

The steady flow of three viscoelastic fluids (Oldroyd-B, FENE-P, and Owens model for blood) in a two-dimensional channel, partly bound by a deformable, finite thickness neo-Hookean solid, is computed. The limiting Weissenberg number beyond…

In bounded domains, without any geometric conditions, we study the existence and uniqueness of globally Lipschitz and interior strong C^{1,1}, (and classical C^2), solutions of general semilinear oblique boundary value problems for…

In this paper we analyze the interaction of an incompressible, generalized Newtonian fluid with a linearly elastic Koiter shell whose motion is restricted to transverse displacements. The middle surface of the shell constitutes the…
