We use energetic considerations to deduce the form of a previously uncertain coupling term in the shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of plastic deformation in amorphous solids. As in the earlier versions of the STZ theory, the onset of…

A model for a MEMS device, consisting of a fixed bottom plate and an elastic plate, is studied. It was derived in a previous work as a reinforced limit when the thickness of the insulating layer covering the bottom plate tends to zero. This…

We derive an effective one-dimensional limit from a three-dimensional Kelvin-Voigt model for viscoelastic thin-walled beams, in which the elastic and the viscous stress tensor comply with a frame-indifference principle. The limiting system…

The multidimensional energy surface of a cholesteric liquid crystal in a planar cell is investigated as a function of spherical coordinates determining the director orientation. Minima on the energy surface correspond to the stable states…

We discuss how searching for finite amplitude disturbances of a given energy which maximise their subsequent energy growth after a certain later time $T$ can be used to probe phase space around a reference state and ultimately to find other…

Accurately solving PDEs with localised features requires refined meshes that adapt to the solution. Traditional numerical methods, such as finite elements, are linear in nature and often ineffective for such problems, as the mesh is not…

In this paper an iterative minimization method is proposed to approximate the minimizer to the double-well energy functional arising in the phase-field theory. The method is based on a quadratic functional posed over a nonempty closed…

This paper is devoted to the mathematical modelling of a vibrating orthotropic plate equipped with a laminated piezosensor, under the influence of a lumped force actuation. We employ the Kirchhoff plate theory to derive the corresponding…

We present one-dimensional KKR method with the aim to elucidate its linear features, particularly important in optimizing the numerical algorithms in energy bands computations. The conventional KKR equations based on the multiple scattering…

In this paper we follow an effective theory approach to study the nonrelativistic limit of a selfgravitating and selfinteracting massive vector field. Our effective theory is characterized by three parameters: the field's mass $m_0$ and the…

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…

An exact result concerning the energy transfers between non-linear waves of thin elastic plate is derived. Following Kolmogorov's original ideas in hydrodynamical turbulence, but applied to the F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an equation for thin…

In this work we analyze the stability and convergence properties of a loosely-coupled scheme, called the kinematically coupled scheme, for interaction between an incompressible viscous fluid and a thin structure. We consider a benchmark…

The presence of prestrain can have a tremendous effect on the mechanical behavior of slender structures. Prestrained elastic plates show spontaneous bending in equilibrium -- a property that makes such objects relevant for the fabrication…

We consider periodic piecewise affine functions, defined on the real line, with two given slopes and prescribed length scale of the regions where the slope is negative. We prove that, in such a class, the minimizers of $s$-fractional…

We consider a system of two linear and linearly coupled oscillators with ideal impact constraints. Primary resonant energy exchange is investigated by analysis of the slow-flow using the action-angle (AA) formalism. Exact inversion of the…

In this work we analyze the stability and convergence properties of a loosely-coupled scheme, called the kinematically coupled scheme, and its extensions for the interaction between an incompressible, viscous fluid and a thin, elastic…

We consider the question of quantitative stability of minimisers for a well-known variational problem for which the infimum of the energy is not achieved in the classical sense, namely for the Dirichlet energy of degree $1$ maps from closed…

At a critical point of a second order phase transition the intrinsic energy surface is flat and there is no stable minimum value of the deformation. However, for a finite system, we show that there is an effective deformation which can…

We study the compositeness of near-threshold quasi-bound states in the framework of effective field theory. From the viewpoint of the low-energy universality, we revisit the model-independent relations between the structure of the bound…
