For two different scenarios regarding thin elastic structures, described by 2d-F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an plate models, we obtain energy scaling laws. Firstly, assuming the reference geometry being that of a singular excess-cone, we obtain…

We consider a class of single-director Cosserat shell models accounting for both curvature and finite mid-plane strains. We assume a polyconvexity condition for the stored-energy function that reduces to a physically correct membrane model…

Particles interacting through long-range attraction and short-range repulsion given by power-laws have been widely used to model physical and biological systems, and to predict or explain many of the patterns they display. Apart from rare…

A nonlinear shell model is studied in this paper. This is a nonlinear variant of the Budiansky-Sanders linear shell model. Under some suitable assumptions on the magnitude of the applied force, we will prove the existence of a minimizer for…

We reconsider the geometrically nonlinear Cosserat model for a uniformly convex elastic energy and write the equilibrium problem as a minimization problem. Applying the direct methods of the calculus of variations we show the existence of…

Using the notion of Gamma-convergence, we discuss the limiting behavior of the 3d nonlinear elastic energy for thin elliptic shells, as their thickness h converges to zero, under the assumption that the elastic energy of deformations scales…

We derive a class of two-dimensional shell energies for thin elastic bodies exhibiting small-length scale effects modeled via strain-gradient elasticity. Building on the final author's earlier work on plate models, the kinetic and stored…

It has been found in numerical experiments that when one removes a sector from an elastic sheet and glues the edges of the sector back together, the resulting configuration is radially symmetric and nearly conical. We make a rigorous…

Energies and equilibrium equations for thin elastic plates are discussed, with emphasis on several issues pertinent to recent approaches in soft condensed matter. Consequences of choice of basis, choice of invariant strain measures, and of…

We consider almost minimizers to the thin-one phase energy functional and we prove optimal regularity of the solution and partial regularity of the free boundary. We thus recover the theory for energy minimizers. Our methods are based on a…

We consider a class of models motivated by previous numerical studies of wrinkling in highly stretched, thin rectangular elastomer sheets. The model used is characterized by a finite-strain hyperelastic membrane energy perturbed by small…

We derive stochastically-constrained Koiter shell models in line with the SALT (Stochastic Advection by Lie Transport) approach introduced by Holm [Proc. A. 471 (2015)]. First, we deduce the stochastic partial differential equations for the…

We study the linearized Fopl - von Karman theory of a long, thin rectangular elastic membrane that is bent through an angle $2 \alpha$. We prove rigorous bounds for the minimum energy of this configuration in terms of the plate thickness…

In this paper we justify Koiter's model for linearly elastic generalised membrane shells of the first kind subjected to remaining confined in a prescribed half-space. After showing that the confinement condition considered in this paper is…

The purpose of this paper is to present a new mathematical model for the deformation of thin Cosserat elastic plates. Our approach, which is based on a generalization of the classical Reissner plate theory, takes into account the transverse…

We propose a new reduced model for gravity-driven free-surface flows of shallow elastic fluids. It is obtained by an asymptotic expansion of the upper-convected Maxwell model for elastic fluids. The viscosity is assumed small (of order…

We study the stable configurations of a thin three-dimensional weakly prestrained rod subject to a terminal load as the thickness of the section vanishes. By $\Gamma$-convergence we derive a one-dimensional limit theory and show that…

In this paper we derive, by two$-$scale convergence, periodically wrinked shell models starting from three dimensional linear elasticity, depending of the behaviour of the small parameter $\varepsilon>0$ and $p>1$, differents theories…

We study investigate a long, thin rectangular elastic membrane that is bent through an angle $2 \alpha$, using the Foppl--von Karman ansatz in a geometrically linear setting. We study the associated variational problem, and show the…

Numerical modeling of strength and non-destructive testing of complex structures such as buildings, space rockets or oil reservoirs often involves calculations on extremely large grids. The modeling of elastic wave processes in solids…
