The article addresses the mathematical modeling of the folding of a thin elastic sheet along a prescribed curved arc. A rigorous model reduction from a general hyperelastic material description is carried out under appropriate scaling…

The Discrete elastic rod method (Bergou et al., 2008) is a numerical method for simulating slender elastic bodies. It works by representing the center-line as a polygonal chain, attaching two perpendicular directors to each segment, and…

We develop and analyze a variational model for multi-ply (i.e., multi-layered) paperboard. The model consists of a number of elastic sheets of a given thickness, which -- at the expense of an energy per unit area -- may delaminate. By…

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…

Helical ribbons arise in many biological and engineered systems, often driven by anisotropic surface stress, residual strain, and geometric or elastic mismatch between layers of a laminated composite. A full mathematical analysis is…

In a companion paper [Pitrou, Phys. Rev. E 97, 043115 (2018)], a formalism allowing to describe viscous fibers as one-dimensional objects was developed. We apply it to the special case of a viscous fluid torus. This allows to highlight the…

In this paper, we present an algorithm for the solution of the von Karman equations of elasticity theory and related problems. Our method of successive reconditioning is able to avoid convergence problems at any ratio of the nonlinear…

We discuss a 1D variational problem modeling an elastic sheet on water, lifted at one end. Its terms include the membrane and bending energy of the sheet as well as terms due to gravity and surface tension. By studying a suitable…

The purpose of this work is to develop a model for a rectangular plate made of an orthotropic material. If compared with the classical model of the isotropic plate, the relaxed condition of orthotropy increases the degrees of freedom as a…

We show that thin rectangular ribbons, defined as energy-minimising configurations of the Sadowsky functional for narrow developable elastic strips, have a propensity to form spherical shapes in the sense that forceless solutions lie on a…

The equilibrium shape of a thin, elastic, inextensible ribbon minimizes its bending energy. It has been shown that, as the width of the ribbon tends to zero, the bending energy Gamma-converges to the so called Sadowsky functional. In this…

We summarize some recent results of the authors and their collaborators, regarding the derivation of thin elastic shell models (for shells with mid-surface of arbitrary geometry) from the variational theory of 3d nonlinear elasticity. We…

Non-Euclidean, or incompatible elasticity is an elastic theory for pre-stressed materials, which is based on a modeling of the elastic body as a Riemannian manifold. In this paper we derive a dimensionally-reduced model of the so-called…

Motivated by the problem of finding an explicit description of a developable narrow Moebius strip of minimal bending energy, which was first formulated by M. Sadowsky in 1930, we will develop the theory of elastic strips. Recently E.L.…

A new approach to relativistic elasticity theory is proposed. In this approach the theory becomes a gauge--type theory, with the diffeomorphisms of the material space playing the role of gauge transformations. The dynamics of the elastic…

Relaxation theorems which apply to one, two and three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity are proved. We take into account the fact an infinite amount of energy is required to compress a finite line, surface or volume into zero line, surface…

In this article, we unravel an intimate relationship between two seemingly unrelated concepts: elasticity, that defines the local relations between stress and strain of deformable bodies, and topology that classifies their global shape.…

We consider a two-dimensional problem in nonlinear elasticity which corresponds to the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transformation. Our model is frame invariant and the energy density is given by the squared distance from two potential wells.…

An asymptotic analysis is performed for thin anisotropic elastic plate clamped along its lateral side and also supported at a small area $\theta_{h}$ of one base with diameter of the same order as the plate thickness $h\ll1.$ A…

In this paper, we introduce "the Schr\"odinger plate." This is an infinite two-dimensional linear micro-polar elastic medium, with out-of-plane degrees of freedom, lying on a linear elastic foundation of a special kind. Any free motion of…
