We study the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete elastic energies in presence of the prestrain metric $G$, assigned on the continuum reference configuration $\Omega$. When the mesh size of the discrete lattice in $\Omega$ goes to zero, we…
We report on a simulational study of the compression and buckling of elastic ridges formed by joining the boundary of a flat sheet to itself. Such ridges store energy anomalously: their resting energy scales as the linear size of the sheet…
We propose and analyze the numerical approximation for a viscoelastic Euler-Bernoulli beam model containing a nonlinear strong damping coefficient. The finite difference method is used for spatial discretization, while the backward Euler…
In this paper, we prove the first existence result of weak solutions to the 3D Euler equation with initial vorticity concentrated in a circle and velocity field in $C([0,T],L^{2^-})$. The energy becomes finite and decreasing for positive…
We consider random lattice triangulations of $n\times k$ rectangular regions with weight $\lambda^{|\sigma|}$ where $\lambda>0$ is a parameter and $|\sigma|$ denotes the total edge length of the triangulation. When $\lambda\in(0,1)$ and $k$…
When a thin elastic sheet crumples, the elastic energy condenses into a network of folding lines and point vertices. These folds and vertices have elastic energy densities much greater than the surrounding areas, and most of the work…
We propose a model describing Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar field with an exponential potential. We show that the weak-field limit of the model has static solutions given by a gravitational potential behaving for large distances as…
This paper is concerned with equilibrium configurations of one-dimensional particle system with non-convex nearest-neighbour and next-to-nearest-neighbour interactions and its passage to the continuum. The goal is to derive compactness…
We consider an inhomogeneous Euler-Bernoulli (EB) beam of length $L$ clamped at both ends and subject to : an external frictional damping and a thermal effect (Fourier law). We prove the well-posedness of the model and analyze the behavior…
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…
In this paper we show the emergence of polycrystalline structures as a result of elastic energy minimisation. For this purpose, we introduce a variational model for two-dimensional systems of edge dislocations, within the so-called core…
It was recently proved that the elastic energy $E(\gamma)=\tfrac{1}{2}\int_\gamma\kappa^2 ds$ of a closed curve $\gamma$ with curvature $\kappa$ has a minimizer among all plane, simple, regular and closed curves of given enclosed area…
We carry out an asymptotic analysis of a thin nematic liquid crystal in which one elastic constant dominates over the others, namely \begin{align} \label{energyab} \inf E_\varepsilon(u)\quad\mbox{where}\quad E_\varepsilon(u) :=…
We study the effective elastic behavior of incompatibly prestrained plates, where the prestrain is independent of thickness as well as uniform through the thickness. We model such plates as three-dimensional elastic bodies with a prescribed…
The paper presents an analysis of the dynamic behaviour of discrete flexural systems composed of Euler--Bernoulli beams. The canonical object of study is the discrete Green's function, from which information regarding the dynamic response…
The aim of this work is to provide further insight into the qualitative behavior of mechanical systems that are well described by Lennard-Jones type interactions on an atomistic scale. By means of $\Gamma$-convergence techniques, we study…
We investigate the $\Gamma$-convergence of Ambrosio-Tortorelli type-functionals for circle valued functions, in the case of volume terms with linear growth. We show the emergence of a non-local $\Gamma$-limit, which is due to the…
We consider the 3D smectic energy $$\mathcal{E}_{\epsilon }\left( u\right) =\frac{1}{2}\int_{\Omega }\frac{1}{\varepsilon } \left( u_z-\frac{( u_x)^{2}+( u_y)^{2}}{2}\right) ^{2}+\varepsilon \left( u_{xx}+u_{yy}\right)^{2}\,dx\,dy\,dz. $$…
We consider the minimization of integral functionals in one dimension and their approximation by $r$-adaptive finite elements. Including the grid of the FEM approximation as a variable in the minimization, we are able to show that the…
We rigorously derive linear elasticity as a low energy limit of pure traction nonlinear elasticity. Unlike previous results, we do not impose any restrictive assumptions on the forces, and obtain a full $\Gamma$-convergence result. The…
