We prove a $\Gamma$-convergence result for space dependent weak membrane energies, that is for 'truncated quadratic potentials', that are quadratic below some threshold (depending on the pair of points that we are considering) and constant…

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 consider a single disclination in a thin elastic sheet of thickness $h$. We prove ansatz-free lower bounds for the free elastic energy in three different settings: First, for a geometrically fully non-linear plate model, second, for…

We derive von-K\'arm\'an plate theory from three dimensional, purely atomistic models with classical particle interaction. This derivation is established as a $\Gamma$-limit when considering the limit where the interatomic distance…

We obtain linear elasticity as $\Gamma$-limit of finite elasticity under incompressibility assumption and Dirichlet boundary conditions. The result is shown for a large class of energy densities for rubber-like materials.

We provide a rigorous justification of the classical linearization approach in plasticity. By taking the small-deformations limit, we prove via \Gamma-convergence for rate-independent processes that energetic solutions of the quasi-static…

We prove that, in the limit of vanishing thickness, equilibrium configurations of inhomogeneous, three-dimensional non-linearly elastic rods converge to equilibrium configurations of the variational limit theory. More precisely, we show…

We characterize the asymptotic behaviour, in the sense of $\Gamma$-convergence, of a thin magnetoelastic shallow shell. The compactness is achieved up to rigid motions. For deformations, it relies on an approximation by rigid movements,…

Starting from three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity under the restriction of incompressibility, we derive reduced models to capture the behavior of strings in response to external forces. Our $\Gamma$-convergence analysis of the…

Thin growing tissues (such as plant leaves) can be modelled by a bounded domain $S\subset R^2$ endowed with a Riemannian metric $g$, which models the internal strains caused by the differential growth of the tissue. The elastic energy is…

We discuss how the Reissner-Mindlin plate model can be derived from three-dimensional finite elasticity in terms of $\Gamma$-convergence. The presence of transverse shear effects in the Reissner-Mindlin model requires to scale different…

A convergence result is proved for the equilibrium configurations of a three-dimensional thin elastic beam, as the diameter h of the cross-section goes to zero. More precisely, we show that stationary points of the nonlinear elastic…

We consider a variational problem modeling transition between flat and wrinkled region in a thin elastic sheet, and identify the $\Gamma$-limit as the sheet thickness goes to 0, thus extending the previous work of the first author [Bella,…

We derive the variational limiting theory of thin films, parallel to the F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an theory in the nonlinear elasticity, for films that have been prestrained and whose thickness is a general non-constant function. Using…

$3d-2d$ dimensional reduction for hyperelastic thin films modeled through energies with point dependent growth, assuming that the sample is clamped on the lateral boundary, is performed in the framework of $\Gamma$-convergence. Integral…

We consider a geodesic $\gamma$ of length $2L$ in an oriented Riemannian manifold $(\mathcal M, g)$ and a thin tube $\Omega^*_h$ around $\gamma$ of radius $h$. We study an 'elastic' energy per unit volume $E_h(u)$ of maps $u$ from…

We propose models in nonlinear elasticity for nonsimple materials that include surface energy terms. Additionally, we also discuss living surface loads on the boundary. We establish corresponding linearized models and show their…

The starting point for this work is a static macroscopic model for a high-contrast layered material in single-slip finite crystal plasticity, identified in [Christowiak & Kreisbeck, Calc. Var. PDE (2017)] as a homogenization limit via…

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…

We derive a new version of the von K\'arm\'an energy and the corresponding Euler-Langrange equations, in the context of thin prestrained plates, under the condition of incompressibility relative to the given prestrain. Our derivation uses…
