Periodic structures can be engineered to exhibit unique properties observed at symmetry points, such as zero group velocity, Dirac cones and saddle points; identifying these, and the nature of the associated modes, from a direct reading of…

We shall consider some common models in linear thermo-elasticity within a common structural framework. Due to the flexibility of the structural perspective we will obtain well-posedness results for a large class of generalized models…

Using the Jacobian matrix, we obtain theoretical expression of rigidity and the density of states of two-dimensional amorphous solids consisting of frictional grains in the linear response to an infinitesimal strain, in which we ignore the…

What characterises a solid is its way to respond to external stresses. Ordered solids, such crystals, display an elastic regime followed by a plastic one, both well understood microscopically in terms of lattice distortion and dislocations.…

We describe the asymptotic behaviour of a cylindrical elastic body, reinforced along identical $\epsilon$-periodically distributed fibers of size $r_{\epsilon}$, with $0 < r_{\epsilon} < \epsilon$, filled in with some different elastic…

State-based peridynamic models provide an important extension of bond-based models that allow the description of general linearly elastic materials. Meshfree discretizations of these nonlocal models are attractive due to their ability to…

We investigate the mechanics of two asymmetric ribbons bound at one end and pulled apart at the other ends. We characterize the elastic junction near the bonding and conceptualize it as a bending boundary layer. While the size of this…

Nonlinear elastic theory studies the elastic constants of a material (such as Young's modulus or bulk modulus) as a power series in the applied load. The inverse bulk modulus K, for example depends on the compression P: $ {1/ K(P)} = c_0 +…

Solid contacts involving soft materials are important in mechanical engineering or biomechanics. Experimentally, such contacts have been shown to shrink significantly under shear, an effect which is usually explained using adhesion models.…

We study the finite element approximation of the solid isotropic material with penalization method (SIMP) for the topology optimization problem of minimizing the compliance of a linearly elastic structure. To ensure the existence of a local…

This paper is the second part of a work devoted to the modelling of thin elastic plates with small, periodically distributed piezoelectric inclusions. We consider the equations of linear elasticity coupled with the electrostatic equation,…

We analyse a problem of two-dimensional linearised elasticity for a two-component periodic composite, where one of the components consists of disjoint soft inclusions embedded in a rigid framework. We consider the case when the contrast…

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…

In this paper we consider a family of three-dimensional problems in thermoelasticity for linear elliptic membrane shells and study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution when the thickness tends to zero.We fully characterize with strong…

We propose a methodology for the homogenization of periodic elastic lattices that covers the case of unstable lattices, having affine (macroscopic) or periodic (microscopic) mechanisms. The singular cell problems that are encountered when a…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to systems of strongly coupled integral equations with oscillatory coefficients. The system of equations is motivated by a peridynamic model of the deformation of heterogeneous…

We derive an asymptotic expansion for two-dimensional displacement field associated to thin elastic inhomogeneities having no uniform thickness. Our derivation is rigorous and based on layer potential techniques. We extend these techniques…

Fiber-reinforced soft biological tissues are typically modeled as hyperelastic, anisotropic, and nearly incompressible materials. To enforce incompressibility a multiplicative split of the deformation gradient into a volumetric and an…

We present an asymptotic analysis of shell lattice metamaterials based on Ciarlet's shell theory, introducing a new metric--asymptotic directional stiffness (ADS)--to quantify how the geometry of the middle surface governs the effective…

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…
