We consider a two phase elastic thin film with soft inclusions subject to bending dominated deformations. The soft (void) phase may comprise asymptotically small droplets within the elastic matrix. We perform a dimension reduction analysis…
The Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis expresses a kinematic constraint that is assumed to be valid for the deformations of a three-dimensional body when one of its dimensions is much smaller than the other two, as is the case for plates. This…
We rigorously derive a Kirchhoff plate theory, via $\Gamma$-convergence, from a three-di\-men\-sio\-nal model that describes the finite elasticity of an elastically heterogeneous, thin sheet. The heterogeneity in the elastic properties of…
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 this paper, we derive a linearized Kirchhoff model from three dimensional nonlinear elastic energy of plates with incompatible prestrain as its thickness $h$ tends to zero and its elastic energy scales like $h^{\beta}$ with $2<\beta<4.$…
We derive a hierarchy of plate theories for heterogeneous multilayers from three dimensional nonlinear elasticity by means of $\Gamma$-convergence. We allow for layers composed of different materials whose constitutive assumptions may vary…
The article addresses the mathematical modeling of the folding of a thin elastic sheet along a prescribed curved arc. A rigorous model reduction from a general hyperelastic material description is carried out under appropriate scaling…
A plate is rigid if its admissible displacement fields inducing vanishing two-dimensional strain tensors must vanish. We prove that the nonlinear model of Kirchhoff-Love for such a plate has a solution for any applied forces and boundary…
We consider the two-dimensional Kirchhoff-Love plate equation in the context of elasticity modeling the stresses and deformations in thin plates subjected to forces and moments. We establish global recovery of the material parameters like…
We derive, via simultaneous homogenization and dimension reduction, the Gamma-limit for thin elastic plates whose energy density oscillates on a scale that is either comparable to, or much smaller than, the film thickness. We consider the…
In this work we derive by Gamma-convergence techniques a model for brittle fracture linearly elastic plates. Precisely, we start from a brittle linearly elastic thin film with positive thickness $\rho$ and study the limit as $\rho$ tends to…
The purpose of this note is to establish two continuum theories for the bending and torsion of inextensible rods as $\Gamma$-limits of 3D atomistic models. In our derivation we study simultaneous limits of vanishing rod thickness $h$ and…
We consider the equilibrium shapes of a thin, annular strip cut out in an elastic sheet. When a central fold is formed by creasing beyond the elastic limit, the strip has been observed to buckle out-of-plane. Starting from the theory of…
In this paper we consider the inverse problem of determining, within an elastic isotropic thick plate modelled by the Reissner-Mindlin theory, the possible presence of an inclusion made of a different elastic material. Under some a priori…
We derive a dimensionally-reduced limit theory for an $n$-dimensional nonlinear elastic body that is slender along $k$ dimensions. The starting point is to view an elastic body as an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold together with a not…
A new $n-$ noded polygonal plate element is proposed for the analysis of plate structures comprising of thin and thick members. The formulation is based on the discrete Kirchhoff Mindlin theory. On each side of the polygonal element,…
By means of a variational approach we rigorously deduce three one-dimensional models for elastic ribbons from the theory of von K\'arm\'an plates, passing to the limit as the width of the plate goes to zero. The one-dimensional model found…
A thin anisotropic elastic plate clamped along its lateral side and also supported at a small area $\theta_{h}$ of one base is considered; the diameter of $\theta_{h}$ is of the same order as the plate relative thickness $h\ll1$. In…
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…
This work presents a generalized Kirchhoff-Love shell theory that can explicitly capture fiber-induced anisotropy not only in stretching and out-of-plane bending, but also in in-plane bending. This setup is particularly suitable for…
