Magnetic gels are composite materials, consisting of a polymer matrix and embedded magnetic particles. Those are mechanically coupled to each other, giving rise to the magnetostrictive effects as well as to a controllable overall elasticity…
In the late 1950's, Eshelby's linear solutions for the deformation field inside an ellipsoidal inclusion and, subsequently, the infinite matrix in which it is embedded were published. The solutions' ability to capture the behavior of an…
We present some relaxation and integral representation results for energy functionals in the setting of structured deformations, with special emphasis given to the case of multi-level structured deformations. In particular, we present an…
The ``Eshelby problem" refers to the response of a 2-dimensional elastic sheet to cutting away a circle, deforming it into an ellipse, and pushing it back. The resulting response is dominated by the so-called ``Eshelby Kernel" which was…
