For each of the $8$ isotropy classes of elastic materials, we consider a homogeneous random field taking values in the fixed point set $\mathsf{V}$ of the corresponding class, that is isotropic with respect to the natural orthogonal…
The tree reconstruction problem is to find an embedded straight-line tree that approximates a given cloud of unorganized points in $\mathbb{R}^m$ up to a certain error. A practical solution to this problem will accelerate a discovery of new…
Uniaxial elastomers are characterized by five elastic constants. If their elastic modulus C_5 describing the energy of shear strains in planes containing the anisotropy axis vanishes, they are said to be soft. In spatial dimensions d less…

We study flexible polyhedral nets in isotropic geometry. This geometry has a degenerate metric, but there is a natural notion of flexibility. We study infinitesimal and finite flexibility, and classify all finitely flexible polyhedral nets…
The packing of elastic bodies has emerged as a paradigm for the study of macroscopic disordered systems. However, progress is hampered by the lack of controlled experiments. Here we consider a model experiment for the isotropic…

We consider an inverse problem in elastodynamics arising in seismic imaging. We prove locally uniqueness of the density of a non-homogeneous, isotropic elastic body from measurements taken on a part of the boundary. We measure the Dirichlet…
We developed a novel contactless frequency-domain approach to study thermal transport, which is particularly convenient when thermally anisotropic materials are considered. The method is based on a similar line-shaped heater geometry as…
We consider the time-harmonic elastic wave scattering from a general (possibly anisotropic) inhomogeneous medium with an embedded impenetrable obstacle. We show that the impenetrable obstacle can be effectively approximated by an isotropic…
An orthotropic metamaterial is composed of elements arrayed periodically in space. The element includes two cuboid structures. The first structure is the basic structure of the element, and the second structure is the transformation of the…
Within the framework of linear elasticity we assume the availability of internal full-field measurements of the continuum deformations of a non-homogeneous isotropic solid. The aim is the quantitative reconstruction of the associated…
In this paper, we study the anisotropy classes of the fourth order elastic tensors of the relaxed micromorphic model, also introducing their second order counterpart by using a Voigt-type vector notation. In strong contrast with the usual…
We derive a dimensionally-reduced limit theory for an $n$-dimensional nonlinear elastic body that is slender along $k$ dimensions. The starting point is to view an elastic body as an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold together with a not…
