We consider a family of linearly elastic shells with thickness $2\varepsilon$ (where $\varepsilon$ is a small parameter). The shells are clamped along a portion of their lateral face, all having the same middle surface $S$, and may enter in…

The paper is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by the rate-independent system of quasi-static perfect elasto-plasticity. The objective is optimize the displacement field in the domain occupied by the body by means of…

This paper focuses on finding approximate solutions to stochastic optimal control problems with control domains being not necessarily convex, where the state trajectory is subject to controlled stochastic differential equations. The…

We prove the local well-posedness of the 3D free-boundary incompressible elastodynamics with surface tension describing the motion of an elastic medium in a periodic domain with a moving graphical surface. The deformation tensor is assumed…

The purpose of this work is the design and analysis of a reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimator for the so-called pointwise tracking optimal control problem. This linear-quadratic optimal control problem entails the…

The elastic response of an electron fluid at finite frequencies is defined by the electron viscosity $\eta(\omega)$. We determine $\eta(\omega)$ for graphene at the charge neutrality point in the collisionless regime, including the leading…

We consider a family of linear viscoelastic shells with thickness $2\varepsilon$ ( $\varepsilon$ , small parameter), clamped along a portion of their lateral face, all having the same middle surface $S$. We formulate the three-dimensional…

We consider the dynamics of an elastic beam which is clamped at its left end to a vibrating support and which can move freely at its right end between two rigid obstacles (the stops). We model the contact with Signorini's complementary…

This paper introduces a novel approach to the optimal control of linear discrete-time systems subject to bounded disturbances. Our approach is based on the newly established duality between ellipsoidal approximations of reachable and hardly…

Traction force microscopy is a method widely used in biophysics and cell biology to determine forces that biological cells apply to their environment. In the experiment, the cells adhere to a soft elastic substrate, which is then deformed…

Exploiting a fluid dynamic formulation for which a probabilistic counterpart might not be available, we extend the theory of Schroedinger bridges to the case of inertial particles with losses and general, possibly singular diffusion…

We study a multiscale stochastic optimal control problem subject to state constraints on the slow variable. To address this class of problems, we develop a rigorous theoretical framework based on singular perturbation analysis, tailored to…

The concept of topological sensitivity (TS) is extended to enable simultaneous 3D reconstruction of fractures with unknown boundary condition and characterization of their interface by way of elastic waves. Interactions between the two…

This paper investigates the optimal control problem for a class of nonlinear fully coupled forward-backward stochastic difference equations (FBS$\Delta$Es). Under the convexity assumption of the control domain, we establish a variational…

This paper proposes a data-driven control framework to regulate an unknown, stochastic linear dynamical system to the solution of a (stochastic) convex optimization problem. Despite the centrality of this problem, most of the available…

Experiments on the motion of a particle on an inclined rough plane have yielded some surprising results. For example, it was found that the frictional force acting on the ball is viscous, {\it i.e.} proportional to the velocity rather than…

We study, both analytically and numerically, the dynamics of elastic boundaries such as crack fronts in fracture and surfaces of contact in solid on solid friction. The elastic waves in the solid give rise to kinks that move with a…

In this paper, we study the optimal control problem for steering the state covariance of a discrete-time linear stochastic system over a finite time horizon. First, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the optimal control law for a…

We study the mechanical contact between a deformable body with a wavy surface and a rigid flat taking into account pressurized fluid trapped in the interface. A finite element model is formulated for a general problem of trapped fluid for…

We propose a new conceptual approach to reach unattained dissipative properties based on the friction of slender concentric sliding columns. We begin by searching for the optimal topology in the simplest telescopic system of two concentric…
