We use variational convergence to derive a hierarchy of one-dimensional rod theories, starting out from three-dimensional models in nonlinear elasticity subject to local volume-preservation. The densities of the resulting $\Gamma$-limits…

A $\Gamma$-convergence analysis is used to perform a 3D-2D dimension reduction of variational problems with linear growth. The adopted scaling gives rise to a nonlinear membrane model which, because of the presence of higher order external…

We prove that that for nonlinear elastic energies with strong enough energetic control of the outer distortion of admissible deformations, almost everywhere global invertibility as constraint can be obtained in the $\Gamma$-limit of the…

We study the problem of the rigorous derivation of one-dimensional models for a thin curved beam starting from three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity. We describe the limiting models obtained for different scalings of the energy. In…

$3d-2d$ dimensional reduction for hyperelastic thin films modeled through energies with point dependent growth, assuming that the sample is clamped on the lateral boundary, is performed in the framework of $\Gamma$-convergence. Integral…

The problem of the rigorous derivation of one-dimensional models for nonlinearly elastic curved beams is studied in a variational setting. Considering different scalings of the three-dimensional energy and passing to the limit as the…

We derive geometrically linearized theories for incompressible materials from nonlinear elasticity theory in the small displacement regime. Our nonlinear stored energy densities may vary on the same (small) length scale as the typical…

We derive a dimension-reduction limit for a three-dimensional rod with material voids by means of $\Gamma$-convergence. Hereby, we generalize the results of the purely elastic setting [57] to a framework of free discontinuity problems. The…

In non-linear incompatible elasticity, the configurations are maps from a non-Euclidean body manifold into the ambient Euclidean space, $\mathbb{R}^k$. We prove the $\Gamma$-convergence of elastic energies for configurations of a converging…

We study thin films with residual strain by analyzing the $\Gamma-$limit of non-Euclidean elastic energy functionals as the material's thickness tends to $0.$ We begin by extending prior results \cite{bhattacharya2016plates}…

A new energy functional for pure traction problems in elasticity has been deduced in [23] as the variational limit of nonlinear elastic energy functional for a material body subject to an equilibrated force field: a sort of Gamma limit with…

We obtain linear elasticity as $\Gamma$-limit of finite elasticity under incompressibility assumption and Dirichlet boundary conditions. The result is shown for a large class of energy densities for rubber-like materials.

We consider a family of three-dimensional stiffened plates whose dimensions are scaled through different powers of a small parameter $\varepsilon$. The plate and the stiffener are assumed to be linearly elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous.…

In this paper, we introduce a nonlocal, variational model for thin films. We consider convolution-type functionals defined on a thin domain whose thickness is of order $\gamma$, where the effective interactions range between points is of…

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of a class of elastica-type energies defined on immersed planar curves and depending on a small positive parameter $\epsilon$. As $\epsilon\to 0^+$, sequences with equibounded energy develop concentration…

We use the technique developed in [32]-[33] to construct the upper and the lower bounds for classes of problems containing non-local terms, including problems in micromagnetics and problems arising in the variational study of the Method of…

This work is concerned with an asymptotic analysis, in the sense of $\Gamma$-convergence, of a sequence of variational models of brittle damage in the context of linearized elasticity. The study is performed as the damaged zone concentrates…

We study the depinning transitions of elastic strings in disordered media in two different cases. We consider the elastic forces to be of infinite range in one case, where the magnitude is proportional to the extension of the string. The…

We investigate the problem of dimension reduction for plates in nonlinear magnetoelasticity. The model features a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation, as magnetizations are defined on the deformed set in the actual space. We consider…

A \Gamma-convergence result involving the elastic energy of a narrow inextensible ribbon is established. A non-dimensional form of the elastic energy is reduced to a one-dimensional integral over the centerline of the ribbon with the aspect…
