We study exponents of thickness in Frieseck-James-M\"uller's inequalities for shells. We derive the following results: (a) the exponent of thickness $\mu(S)\leq15/8$ if the middle surface $S$ is parabolic; (b) the exponent of thickness…
We establish Korn's interpolation inequalities and the rigidity results of the strain tensor of the middle surface for the parabolic and elliptic shells and show that the best constant in Korn's inequalities scales like $h^{3/2}$ for the…
We perform a detailed analysis of the solvability of linear strain equations on hyperbolic surfaces to obtain $L^2$ regularity solutions. Then the rigidity results on the strain tensor of the middle surface are implied by the $L^2$…
In the paper we deal with shells with non-zero Gaussian curvature. We derive sharp Korn's first (linear geometric rigidity estimate) and second inequalities on that kind of shells for zero or periodic Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin type…
Using the notion of Gamma-convergence, we discuss the limiting behavior of the 3d nonlinear elastic energy for thin elliptic shells, as their thickness h converges to zero, under the assumption that the elastic energy of deformations scales…
We derive an infinitesimal rigidity lemma for the strain tensor of surfaces with their curvatures changing sign. As an application, we obtain the optimal constant in the first Korn inequality scales like $h^{4/3}$ for such shells of mixed…
We study analytically the development of gravitational instability in an expanding shell having finite thickness. We consider three models for the radial density profile of the shell: (i) an analytic uniform-density model, (ii) a…
This paper is concerned with the study of linear geometric rigidity of shallow thin domains under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions on the displacement field on the thin edge of the domain. A shallow thin domain is a thin domain that has…
Under a geometric assumption on the region near the end of its neck, we prove an optimal exponential lower bound on the widths of resonances for a general two-dimensional Helmholtz resonator. An extension of the result to the n-dimensional…
In this article, we derive a mathematical model for a shell (i.e. a thin elastic body) bonded to an elastic foundation by modifying Koiter's linear shell equations. We prove the existence and the uniqueness of solutions, and we explicitly…
Shells, i.e., objects made of a thin layer of material following a surface, are among the most common structures in use. They are highly efficient, in terms of material required to maintain strength, but also prone to deformation and…
We discuss infinitesimal isometries of the middle surfaces and present some characteristic conditions for a function to be the normal component of an infinitesimal isometry. Our results show that those characteristic conditions depend on…
In this paper we derive four new candidates for an intrinsic viscosity operator on an ellipsoid by using the heuristic of the thin shell limit along the scaling direction of the ellipsoid. We show that the general method of the thin shell…
We are concerned with the optimal constants: in the Korn inequality under tangential boundary conditions on bounded sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and in the geometric rigidity estimate on the whole $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that the…
We investigate lower bounds for the number of ideal and finite vertices of right-angled hyperbolic polyhedra of finite volume. We use a geometric method of orthogonal gluings to establish new bounds in low dimensions, specifically…
In this article we establish new inequalities, both conditional and unconditional, for the restriction problem associated to the hyperbolic, or one-sheeted, hyperboloid in three dimensions, endowed with a Lorentz-invariant measure. These…
We are concerned with a variant of the isoperimetric problem, which in our setting arises in a geometrically nonlinear two-well problem in elasticity. More precisely, we investigate the optimal scaling of the energy of an elastic inclusion…
An eigenvalue problem arising in optimal insulation related to the minimization of the heat decay rate of an insulated body is adapted to enforce a positive lower bound imposed on the distribution of insulating material. We prove the…
We consider shells in three dimensional Euclidean space which have bounded principal curvatures. We prove Korn's interpolation (or the so called first and a half\footnote{The inequality first introduced in [6]}) and second inequalities on…
We study the $\Gamma$-limit of 3d nonlinear elasticity for shells of small, variable thickness, around an arbitrary smooth 2d surface.
