In this Series, we study the weakly nonlinear dynamics of chemically active particles near the threshold for spontaneous motion. In this part, we focus on steady solutions and develop an `adjoint method' for deriving the nonlinear amplitude…
Estimation of solution norms and stability for time-dependent nonlinear systems is ubiquitous in numerous engineering, natural science and control problems. Yet, practically valuable results are rare in this area. This paper develops a…
Estimation of the degree of stability and the bounds of solutions to non-autonomous nonlinear systems present major concerns in numerous applied problems. Yet, current techniques are frequently yield overconservative conditions which are…
In Part I of this contribution, a systematic coarse-grained description of the dynamics of a weakly-bending semiflexible polymer was developed. Here, we discuss analytical solutions of the established deterministic partial…
The nonlinear mechanics of a flexible elastic rod constrained at its edges by a pair of sliding sleeves is analyzed. The planar equilibrium configurations of this variable-length elastica are found to have shape defined only by the…
Boundary effects are crucial for dynamics of dilute charged gases governed by the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann (VPB) system. In this paper, we study the existence and regularity of solutions to the VPB system with soft potential in a bounded…
We present a novel theory of the adhesive contact of linear viscoelastic materials against rigid substrates moving at constant velocity. Despite the non-conservative behavior of the system, the closure equation of the contact problem can be…
In this paper, we establish well-posed boundary and interface conditions for the relaxed micromorphic model that are able to unveil the scattering response of fully finite-size metamaterials' samples. The resulting relaxed micromorphic…
In this contribution we present a new computational method for coupled bulk-surface problems on time-dependent domains. The method is based on a space-time formulation using discontinuous piecewise linear elements in time and continuous…
We study in this paper compression effects in heterogeneous media with maximal packing constraint. Starting from compressible Brinkman equations, where maximal packing is encoded in a singular pressure and a singular bulk viscosity, we show…
A new mathematical formulation for the constitutive laws governing elastic perfectly plastic materials is proposed here. In particular, it is shown that the elastic strain rate and the plastic strain rate form an orthogonal decomposition…
The effective macroscopic response of nonlinear elastomeric inhomogeneous materials is of great interest in many applications including nonlinear composite materials and soft biological tissues. The interest of the present work is…
We consider an interface problem often arising in transport problems: a coupled system of partial differential equations with one (elliptic) transport equation on a bounded domain and one equation (in this case the Laplace problem) on the…
This work considers Bayesian experimental design for the inverse boundary value problem of linear elasticity in a two-dimensional setting. The aim is to optimize the positions of compactly supported pressure activations on the boundary of…

The Poisson-Boltzmann equation offers an efficient way to study electrostatics in molecular settings. Its numerical solution with the boundary element method is widely used, as the complicated molecular surface is accurately represented by…
We consider a Kelvin-Voigt model for viscoelastic second-grade materials, where the elastic and the viscous stress tensor both satisfy frame indifference. Using a rigidity estimate by [Ciarlet-Mardare '15], existence of weak solutions is…
We investigate the evolution of a two-phase viscoelastic material at finite strains. The phase evolution is assumed to be irreversible: One phase accretes in time in its normal direction, at the expense of the other. Mechanical response…
We propose a time domain decomposition approach to optimal control of partial differential equations (PDEs) based on semigroup theoretic methods. We formulate the optimality system consisting of two coupled forward-backward PDEs, the state…
A bundle of many fibers with stochastically distributed breaking thresholds is considered as a model of composite materials. The fibers are assumed to share the load equally, and to obey Hookean elasticity up to the breaking point. The…
