We formulate a quasistatic nonlinear model for nonsimple viscoelastic materials at a finite-strain setting in the Kelvin's-Voigt's rheology where the viscosity stress tensor complies with the principle of time-continuous frame-indifference.…
In this paper, the bending behaviour of small-scale Bernoulli-Euler beams is investigated by Eringen's two-phase local/nonlocal theory of elasticity. Bending moments are expressed in terms of elastic curvatures by a convex combination of…
The tridimensional configuration and the twist density of helical rods with varying cross section radius are studied within the framework of the Kirchhoff rod model. It is shown that the twist density increases when the cross section radius…
We continue our investigation of viscoelasticity by extending the Holzapfel-Simo approach discussed in Part I to the fully nonlinear regime. By scrutinizing the relaxation property for the non-equilibrium stresses, it is revealed that a…
Helical amorphous nanosprings have attracted particular interest due to their special mechanical properties. In this work we present a simple model, within the framework of the Kirchhoff rod model, for investigating the structural…
We introduce a nonlinear, one-dimensional bending-twisting model for an inextensible bi-rod that is composed of a nematic liquid crystal elastomer. The model combines an elastic energy that is quadratic in curvature and torsion with a…
Euler and Navier-Stokes have variant systems with dynamical invariance of helicity and thus (weak) topological equivalence, allowing a strong `frozen-in' (to, or, dually, `Lie-carried' by the \textit{virtual} velocity $V$) formulation of…
We propose a nonlinear elasto-plastic model, for which a specific class of hyperbolic elasticity arises as a straight consequence of the yield criterion invariance on the plasticity level. We superimpose this nonlinear elastic (or…
We consider mechanically-induced pattern formation within the framework of a growing, planar, elastic rod attached to an elastic foundation. Through a combination of weakly nonlinear analysis and numerical methods, we identify how the shape…
Flexible fibers at the microscopic scale, such as flagella and cilia, play essential roles in biological and synthetic systems. The dynamics of these slender filaments in viscous flows involve intricate interactions between their mechanical…
The present article studies variational principles for the formulation of static and dynamic problems involving Kirchhoff rods in a fully nonlinear setting. These results, some of them new, others scattered in the literature, are presented…
The paper is concerned with the analysis of an evolutionary model for magnetoviscoelastic materials in two dimensions. The model consists of a Navier-Stokes system featuring a dependence of the stress tensor on elastic and magnetic terms, a…
The equations for the equilibrium of a thin elastic ribbon are derived by adapting the classical theory of thin elastic rods. Previously established ribbon models are extended to handle geodesic curvature, natural out-of-plane curvature,…
The purpose of this note is to establish two continuum theories for the bending and torsion of inextensible rods as $\Gamma$-limits of 3D atomistic models. In our derivation we study simultaneous limits of vanishing rod thickness $h$ and…
This review presents the elastic theory of low-dimensional (one- and two-dimensional) continua and its applications in bio- and nano-structures. First, the curve and surface theory, as the geometric representation of the low-dimensional…
Nonholonomic systems are variational models commonly used for mechanical systems with ideal no-slip constraints. This note provides a differential-geometric derivation of the nonholonomic equations of motion for an arbitrary rigid body…
We develop a Nitsche finite element method for a model of Euler--Bernoulli beams with axial stiffness embedded in a two--dimensional elastic bulk domain. The beams have their own displacement fields, and the elastic subdomains created by…
A generalized hydrodynamic theory that systematically incorporates elasticity and viscoelasticity had been derived about a quarter of a century ago. It is based on a strictly Euler point of view, as is natural for hydrodynamics. We used and…
Necking instabilities, in which tensile (extensional) deformation localizes into a small spatial region, are generic failure modes in elasto-viscoplastic materials. Materials in this very broad class --- including amorphous, crystalline,…
We prove existence of global in time strong solutions to the truncated thermo- visco-plasticity with an inelastic constitutive function of Norton-Hoff type. This result is a starting point to obtain renoramlised solutions for the considered…
