An effective model is identified for thin perfectly plastic plates whose microstructure consists of the periodic assembling of two elastoplastic phases, as the periodicity parameter converges to zero. Assuming that the thickness of the…
We derive, via simultaneous homogenization and dimension reduction, the Gamma-limit for thin elastic plates whose energy density oscillates on a scale that is either comparable to, or much smaller than, the film thickness. We consider the…
We analyse the $\Gamma$-convergence of general non-local convolution type functionals with varying densities depending on the space variable and on the symmetrized gradient. The limit is a local free-discontinuity functional, where the bulk…
The problem of quasistatic evolution in small strain associative elastoplasticity is studied in the framework of the variational theory for rate-independent processes. Existence of solutions is proved through the use of incremental…
Upper bound limit analysis allows one to evaluate directly the ultimate load of structures without performing a cumbersome incremental analysis. In order to numerically apply this method to thin plates in bending, several authors have…
We prove a linearization result for quasistatic fracture evolution in nonlinear elasticity. As the stiffness of the material tends to infinity, we show that rescaled displacement fields and their associated crack sets converge to a solution…
We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of sequences of free discontinuity functionals with linear growth defined in the space ${\rm BD}$ of functions with bounded deformation. We prove a compactness result with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence…
We prove an homogenization result, in terms of $\Gamma$-convergence, for energies concentrated on rectifiable lines in $\R^3$ without boundary. The main application of our result is in the context of dislocation lines in dimension $3$. The…
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 study wrinkling patterns in a thin elastic annulus subjected to radial stretching within the framework of the F\"oppl--von K\'arm\'an theory. Building on the analysis of the Lam\'e problem in Bella and Kohn, we investigate the asymptotic…
We identify effective models for thin, linearly elastic and perfectly plastic plates exhibiting a microstructure resulting from the periodic alternation of two elastoplastic phases. We study here both the case in which the thickness of the…
A mathematical model for an elastoplastic continuum subject to large strains is presented. The inelastic response is modeled within the frame of rate-dependent gradient plasticity for nonsimple materials. Heat diffuses through the continuum…
We discuss the limiting behavior (using the notion of \Gamma-limit) of the 3d nonlinear elasticity for thin shells around an arbitrary smooth 2d surface. In particular, under the assumption that the elastic energy of deformations scales…
In this paper, we deduce a macroscopic strain gradient theory for plasticity from a model of discrete dislocations. We restrict our analysis to the case of a cylindrical symmetry for the crystal in exam, so that the mathematical formulation…
We analyze the finite-strain Poynting-Thomson viscoelastic model. In its linearized small-deformation limit, this corresponds to the serial connection of an elastic spring and a Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic element. In the finite-strain case,…
We prove that that for nonlinear elastic energies with strong enough energetic control of the outer distortion of admissible deformations, almost everywhere global invertibility as constraint can be obtained in the $\Gamma$-limit of the…
This work is motivated by the classical discrete elastic rod model by Audoly et al. We derive a discrete version of the Kirchhoff elastic energy for rods undergoing bending and torsion and prove $\Gamma$-convergence to the continuous model.…
We investigate a finite element discretization of an elastic bending-plate model with an effective prestrain. The model has been obtained via homogenization and dimension reduction by B\"onlein at al. (2023). Its energy functional is the…
We study the problem of the rigorous derivation of one-dimensional models for a thin curved beam starting from three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity. We describe the limiting models obtained for different scalings of the energy. In…
This work is motivated by discrete-to-continuum modeling of the mechanics of a graphene sheet, which is a single-atom thick macromolecule of carbon atoms covalently bonded to form a hexagonal lattice. The strong covalent bonding makes the…
