We study solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation -\Delta u+\frac{1}{\ve^2}u(|u|^2-1)=0 subject to "semi-stiff" boundary conditions: the Dirichlet condition for the modulus, |u|=1, and the homogeneous Neumann condition for the phase.…
Nonlinear bending phenomena of thin elastic structures arise in various modern and classical applications. Characterizing low energy states of elastic rods has been investigated by Bernoulli in 1738 and related models are used to determine…

I find conditions under which the "Weak Energy Principle" of Katz, Inagaki and Yahalom (1993) gives necessary and sufficient conditions. My conclusion is that, necessary and sufficient conditions of stability are obtained when we have only…
We study the equilibrium of hyperelastic solids subjected to kinematic constraints on many small regions, which we call perforations. Such constraints on the displacement $u$ are given in the quite general form $u(x) \in F_x$, where $F_x$…
We consider two-parameter bifurcation of equilibrium states of an elastic rod on a deformable foundation. Our main theorem shows that bifurcation occurs if and only if the linearization of our problem has nontrivial solutions. In fact our…
