We consider a mathematical model for the study of the dynamical behavior of suspension bridges. We show that internal resonances, which depend on the bridge structure only, are the origin of torsional instability. We obtain both theoretical…
We use the entropy method to analyze the nonlinear dynamics and stability of a continuum kinetic model of an active nematic suspension. From the time evolution of the relative entropy -- an energy-like quantity in the kinetic model -- we…
We consider a discrete bridge from $(0,0)$ to $(2N,0)$ evolving according to the corner growth dynamics, where the jump rates are subject to an upward asymmetry of order $N^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha \in (0,\infty)$. We provide a…
