In this note we study the singular vanishing-viscosity limit of a gradient flow set in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space and driven by a smooth, but possibly non convex, time-dependent energy functional. We resort to ideas and techniques…

We perform a convergence analysis of a discrete-in-time minimization scheme approximating a finite dimensional singularly perturbed gradient flow. We allow for different scalings between the viscosity parameter $\varepsilon$ and the time…

Quasistatic evolutions of critical points of time-dependent energies exhibit piecewise smooth behavior, making them useful for modeling continuum mechanics phenomena like elastic-plasticity and fracture. Traditionally, such evolutions have…

We study the approximation of quasistatic evolutions, formulated as abstract finite-dimensional rate-independent systems, via a vanishing-inertia asymptotic analysis of dynamic evolutions. We prove the uniform convergence of dynamical…

In this paper we contribute to studying the issue of quasistatic limit in the context of Griffith's theory by investigating a one-dimensional debonding model. It describes the evolution of a thin film partially glued to a rigid substrate…

In the nonconvex case solutions of rate-independent systems may develop jumps as a function of time. To model such jumps, we adopt the philosophy that rate independence should be considered as limit of systems with smaller and smaller…

We study the high Reynolds number limit of a viscous fluid in the presence of a rough boundary. We consider the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with Navier slip boundary condition, in a domain whose boundaries exhibit…

We formulate and consider the problem of an inextensible, unshearable, viscoelastic rod, with evolving natural configuration, moving on a plane. We prove that the dynamic equations describing quasistatic motion of an Eulerian strut, an…

A suitable notion of weak solution to infinite-dimensional rate-independent systems, called Inertial Balanced Viscosity (IBV) solution, is introduced. The key feature of such notion is that the energy dissipated at jump discontinuities…

We extend the theory of viscosity solutions to treat scalar-valued doubly-nonlinear evolution equations. Such equations arise naturally in many mechanical models including a dry friction. After providing a suitable definition for…

We deal with quasistatic evolution problems in plasticity with softening, in the framework of small strain associative elastoplasticity. The presence of a nonconvex term due to the softening phenomenon requires a nontrivial extension of the…

We study the quasistatic evolution of a linear peridynamic Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic material. More specifically, we consider the gradient flow of a nonlocal elastic energy with respect to a nonlocal viscous dissipation. Following an…

We study the behaviour of the solutions to a dynamic evolution problem for a viscoelastic model with long memory, when the rate of change of the data tends to zero. We prove that a suitably rescaled version of the solutions converges to the…

The problem of quasistatic evolution in small strain associative elastoplasticity is studied in the framework of the variational theory for rate-independent processes. Existence of solutions is proved through the use of incremental…

This paper focuses on rate-independent damage in elastic bodies. Since the driving energy is nonconvex, solutions may have jumps as a function of time, and in this situation it is known that the classical concept of energetic solutions for…

In this paper we deal with a second order nonlinear evolution inclusion, with a nonmonotone, noncoercive viscosity term. Using a parabolic regularization (approximation) of the problem and {\it a priori} bounds that permit passing to the…

Systems of the first order partial differential equations with singular solutions appear in many multiphysics problems and the weak formulation of solutions involve in many cases product of distributions. In this paper we study such a…

Nonconservative evolution problems describe irreversible processes and dissipative effects in a broad variety of phenomena. Such problems are often characterised by a conservative part, which can be modelled as a Hamiltonian term, and a…

We introduce a two time-scale scheme which allows to extend the method of minimizing movements to hyperbolic problems. This method is used to show the existence of weak solutions to a fluid-structure interaction problem between a nonlinear,…

We consider the quasistationary Stokes flow that describes the motion of a two-dimensional fluid body under the influence of surface tension effects in an unbounded, infinite-bottom geometry. We reformulate the problem as a fully nonlinear…
