We study infinitesimal conformal deformations of a triangulated surface in Euclidean space and investigate the change in its extrinsic geometry. A deformation of vertices is conformal if it preserves length cross-ratios. On one hand,…
Let $Y$ be a compact Gorenstein analytic space with only isolated singularities and trivial dualizing sheaf. A recent paper of Imagi studies the deformation theory of $Y$ in case the singularities of $Y$ are weighted homogeneous and…
For homogeneous, isotropic, nonlinearly elastic materials, the form of the homogeneous deformation consistent with the application of a Cauchy shear stress is derived here for both compressible and incompressible materials. It is shown that…
Abstract. We present a framework for the kinematics of a material body undergoing anelastic deformation. For such processes, the material structure of the body, as reflected by the geometric structure given to the set of body points,…
We develop a molecular model of non-uniform deformations within the framework of liquid crystal rubber elasticity. We show that, similarly to the uniform case, the theory is not sensitive to the molecular details of polymer liquid crystal…
We consider the 3D compressible isentropic Euler equations describing the motion of a liquid in an unbounded initial domain with a moving boundary and a fixed flat bottom at finite depth. The liquid is under the influence of gravity and…
Euler buckling is the elastic instability of a column subjected to longitudinal compression forces at its ends. The buckling instability occurs when the compressing load reaches a critical value and an infinitesimal fluctuation leads to a…

A class of isotropic and scale invariant strain energy functions is given for which the corresponding spherically symmetric elastic motion includes bodies whose diameter becomes infinite with time or collapses to zero in finite time,…
Anisotropic homogeneous metamaterials that are neither wholly dissipative nor wholly active at a specific frequency are permitted by classical electromagnetic theory. Well-established homogenization formalisms indicate that such a…
The mechanical response of naturally abundant amorphous solids such as gels, jammed grains, and biological tissues are not described by the conventional paradigm of broken symmetry that defines crystalline elasticity. In contrast, the…
In the context of elasticity theory, rigidity theorems allow to derive global properties of a deformation from local ones. This paper presents a new asymptotic version of rigidity, applicable to elastic bodies with sufficiently stiff…
The immersed boundary-finite element method (IBFE) is an approach to describing the dynamics of an elastic structure immersed in an incompressible viscous fluid. In this formulation, there are discontinuities in the pressure and viscous…
For construction of the general theory it is necessary, first of all, to refuse from traditional performance of the elastic theory of field, within the framework of which the static processes with commutative quantities are described only.…
We prove that various spaces of constrained positive scalar curvature metrics on compact 3-manifolds with boundary, when not empty, are contractible. The constraints we mostly focus on are given in terms of local conditions on the mean…
From bone and wood to concrete and carbon fibre, composites are ubiquitous natural and engineering materials. Eshelby's inclusion theory describes how macroscopic stress fields couple to isolated microscopic inclusions, allowing prediction…
We study universal features in the shape dependence of entanglement entropy in the vacuum state of a conformal field theory (CFT) on $\mathbb{R}^{1,d-1}$. We consider the entanglement entropy across a deformed planar or spherical entangling…
Like a cr\^epe resting on a plate, a thin elastic sheet can fold smoothly under its own weight, forming reversible shapes without creases or imposed hinges. Such soft folds arise from a balance between elastic bending and gravity, yet their…
This note aims at the following problem. In an ideal density dependent fluid system, is the total energy dissipated on shock type discontinuities? To this end, we study the local energy balance for weak solutions to the isentropic…
Deformational structures, in many aspects generalizing standard elasticity theory, are investigated in abstract form. Within free deformational structures we define algebra of deformations, classify them by its special properties, define…
