This work revolves around the rigorous asymptotic analysis of models in nonlocal hyperelasticity. The corresponding variational problems involve integral functionals depending on nonlocal gradients with a finite interaction range $\delta$,…

In this paper a we derive by means of $\Gamma$-convergence a macroscopic strain-gradient plasticity from a semi-discrete model for dislocations in an infinite cylindrical crystal. In contrast to existing work, we consider an energy with…

This article is devoted to obtain the $\Gamma$-limit, as $\epsilon$ tends to zero, of the family of functionals $$F_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_{\Omega}f\Bigl(x,\frac{x}{\epsilon},..., \frac{x}{\epsilon^n},\nabla u(x)\Bigr)dx$$, where…

The starting point for this work is a static macroscopic model for a high-contrast layered material in single-slip finite crystal plasticity, identified in [Christowiak & Kreisbeck, Calc. Var. PDE (2017)] as a homogenization limit via…

We consider the numerical computation of a variational problem that arises from materials science. The target functional is a type of elastic energy that is influenced by obstacles and adhesion. Owing to its strong nonlinearity and…

We study functionals \begin{equation*} F_\varepsilon (u,\rho) := \frac{1}{\varepsilon} \int_\Omega W(u) \, dx + \frac{1}{|\ln(\varepsilon)|} \int_\Omega \int_\Omega \frac{(u(y) - u(x))^2}{|y - x|^{N+1}} \, dy \,dx +…

Dimension-reduction homogenization results for thin films have been obtained under hypotheses of periodicity or almost-periodicity of the energies in the directions of the mid-plane of the film. In this note we consider thin films, obtained…

We establish the $\Gamma$-convergence of some energy functionals describing nonlocal attractive interactions in bounded domains. The interaction potential solves an elliptic equation (local or nonlocal) in the bounded domain and the primary…

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…

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 wish to understand the macroscopic plastic behaviour of metals by upscaling the micro-mechanics of dislocations. We consider a highly simplified dislocation network, which allows our microscopic model to be a one dimensional particle…

We study the atomistic-to-continuum limit of a class of energy functionals for crystalline materials via Gamma-convergence. We consider energy densities that may depend on interactions between all points of the lattice and we give…

We prove a $\Gamma$-convergence result for space dependent weak membrane energies, that is for 'truncated quadratic potentials', that are quadratic below some threshold (depending on the pair of points that we are considering) and constant…

We determine the effective behavior of a class of composites in finite-strain crystal plasticity, based on a variational model for materials made of fine parallel layers of two types. While one component is completely rigid in the sense…

We analyze the $\Gamma$-convergence of sequences of free-discontinuity functionals arising in the modeling of linear elastic solids with surface discontinuities, including phenomena as fracture, damage, or material voids. We prove…

This paper is on $\Gamma$-convergence for degenerate integral functionals related to homogenisation problems in the Heisenberg group. Here both the rescaling and the notion of invariance or periodicity are chosen in a way motivated by the…

We perform a stochastic-homogenization analysis for composite materials exhibiting a random microstructure. Under the assumptions of stationarity and ergodicity, we characterize the Gamma-limit of a micromagnetic energy functional defined…

Inspired by numerical studies of the aggregation equation, we study the effect of regularization on nonlocal interaction energies. We consider energies defined via a repulsive-attractive interaction kernel, regularized by convolution with a…

We use the method of $\Gamma$-convergence to study the behavior of the Landau-de Gennes model for a nematic liquid crystalline film attached to a general fixed surface in the limit of vanishing thickness. This paper generalizes the approach…

Here, we report a numerical implementation of the nonlocal homogenization approach recently proposed in [M. Silveirinha, Phys. Rev. B 75, 115104 (2007)], using the finite difference frequency-domain method to discretize the…
