In the current density functional theory of linear and nonlinear time-dependent phenomena, the treatment of exchange and correlation beyond the level of the adiabatic local density approximation is shown to lead to the appearance of…

Using $\Gamma$-convergence arguments, we construct a nonlinear membrane-like Cosserat shell model on a curvy reference configuration starting from a geometrically nonlinear, physically linear three-dimensional isotropic Cosserat model. Even…

A justification of heterogeneous membrane models as zero-thickness limits of a cylindral three-dimensional heterogeneous nonlinear hyperelastic body is proposed in the spirit of Le Dret & Raoult. Specific characterizations of the 2D elastic…

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…

We rigorously derive linear elasticity as a low energy limit of pure traction nonlinear elasticity. Unlike previous results, we do not impose any restrictive assumptions on the forces, and obtain a full $\Gamma$-convergence result. The…

We derive an effective one-dimensional limit from a three-dimensional Kelvin-Voigt model for viscoelastic thin-walled beams, in which the elastic and the viscous stress tensor comply with a frame-indifference principle. The limiting system…

We prove convergence of critical points $u^h$ of the nonlinear elastic energies $E^h$ of thin incompressible plates $\Omega^h=\Omega \times (-h/2, h/2)$, which satisfy the von K\'arm\'an scaling: $E^h(u^h)\leq Ch^4$, to critical points of…

$\Gamma$-convergence techniques are used to give a characterization of the behavior of a family of heterogeneous multiple scale integral functionals. Periodicity, standard growth conditions and nonconvexity are assumed whereas a stronger…

In this paper, we study an elastic bilayer plate composed of a nematic liquid crystal elastomer in the top layer and a nonlinearly elastic material in the bottom layer. While the bottom layer is assumed to be stress-free in the flat…

We carry out a variational study for integral functionals that model the stored energy of a heterogeneous material governed by finite-strain elastoplasticity with hardening. Assuming that the composite has a periodic microscopic structure,…

A thin anisotropic elastic plate clamped along its lateral side and also supported at a small area $\theta_{h}$ of one base is considered; the diameter of $\theta_{h}$ is of the same order as the plate relative thickness $h\ll1$. In…

We are concerned with the dimension reduction analysis for thin three-dimensional elastic films, prestrained via Riemannian metrics with weak curvatures. For the prestrain inducing the incompatible version of the F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an…

Dimension-reduction homogenization results for thin films have been obtained under hypotheses of periodicity or almost-periodicity of the energies in the directions of the mid-plane of the film. In this note we consider thin films, obtained…

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…

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) marry the large deformation response of a cross-linked polymer network with the nematic order of liquid crystals pendent to the network. Of particular interest is the actuation of LCE sheets where the…

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…

The large deflections of cantilevered beams and plates are modeled and discussed. Traditional nonlinear elastic models (e.g., that of von Karman) employ elastic restoring forces based on the effect of stretching on bending, and these are…

A rectangular plate of dielectric elastomer exhibiting gradients of material properties through its thickness will deform inhomogeneously when a potential difference is applied to compliant electrodes on its major surfaces, because each…

We consider a potential pathology in the derivation of plate theories as Gamma-limits of 3-dimensional nonlinear elasticity by Friesecke James and Muller (Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 55:1461-1506 and Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., 180:183-236),…

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…
