The edge of torn elastic sheets and growing leaves often form a hierarchical buckling pattern. Within non-Euclidean plate theory this complex morphology can be understood as low bending energy isometric immersions of hyperbolic Riemannian…

Motivated by problems arising in tear film dynamics, we present a model for the extensional flow of thin sheets of nematic liquid crystal. The rod-like molecules of these substances impart an elastic contribution to its response. We rescale…

We develop a fully coupled theoretical description of dislocation dynamics on deformable crystalline surfaces, using continuum modeling and the amplitude-phase-field crystal (APFC) framework extended to curved geometries. We derive a…

In this work we numerically compute the bifurcation curve of stationary solutions for the free boundary problem for MEMS in one space dimension. It has a single turning point, as in the case of the small aspect ratio limit. We also find a…

This paper studies inf-sup stable finite element discretizations of the evolutionary Navier--Stokes equations with a grad-div type stabilization. The analysis covers both the case in which the solution is assumed to be smooth and…

We have developed a set of numerical tools for the quantitative analysis of defect dynamics in quasiperiodic structures. We have applied these tools to study dislocation motion in the dynamical equation of Lifshitz and Petrich [Phys. Rev.…

We present a variational theory for lattice defects of rotational and translational type. We focus on finite systems of planar wedge disclinations, disclination dipoles, and edge dislocations, which we model as the solutions to minimum…

We present a perturbation theory of kink solutions of discrete Klein-Gordon chains. The unperturbed solutions correspond to the kinks of the adjoint partial differential equation. The perturbation theory is based on a reformulation of the…

In this work, we study the nematic-isotropic phase transition based on the dynamics of the Landau--De Gennes theory of liquid crystals. At the critical temperature, the Landau--De Gennes bulk potential favors the isotropic phase and nematic…

The time evolution of the magnetization of a magnetic molecular crystal is obtained in an external time-dependent magnetic field, with sweep rates in the kT/s range. We present the 'exact numerical' solution of the time dependent…

The local deformation of two-dimensional Lennard-Jones glasses under imposed shear strain is studied via computer simulations. Both the mean squared displacement and mean squared strain rise linearly with the length of the strain interval…

Starting from a general classical model of many interacting particles we present a well defined step by step procedure to derive the continuum-mechanics equations of nonlinear elasticity theory with fluctuations which describe the…

We analyze two fully time-discrete numerical schemes for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations posed on evolving surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with prescribed normal velocity using the evolving surface finite element method (ESFEM). We…

This paper deals with the solution of delay differential equations describing evolution of dislocation density in metallic materials. Hardening, restoration, and recrystallization characterizing the evolution of dislocation populations…

We propose a numerical model to study the viscoplastic deformation of ice single crystals. We consider long-range elastic interactions among dislocations, the possibility of mutual annihilation, and a multiplication mechanism representing…

Kinematic equations for the motion of slowly propagating, weakly curved fronts in bistable media are derived. The equations generalize earlier derivations where algebraic relations between the normal front velocity and its curvature are…

Here we study the wave propagation and stability of general relativistic non-resistive dissipative second-order magnetohydrodynamic equations in curved space-time. We solve the Boltzmann equation for a system of particles and antiparticles…

A new method to remove the stiffness of partial differential equations is presented. Two terms are added to the right-hand-side of the PDE : the first is a damping term and is treated implicitly, the second is of the opposite sign and is…

We present two applications of the integro-differential volume equation for the eigenstrain, building on Eshelby's inclusion method [15,16], in the contexts of both static and dynamic linear elasticity. The primary objective is to address…

Starting from a model of an elastic medium, we derive equations of motion that are identical in form to Dirac's equation for a spin 1/2 particle with mass, coupled to electromagnetic and gravitational interactions. The mass and…
