We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in $L^p$ on a thin domain, under standard $p$-growth and coercivity assumptions, $1<p<\infty$. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the…
In this paper we deduce by {\Gamma}-convergence some partially and fully linearized quasistatic evolution models for thin plates, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by {\epsilon} the thickness of the plate, we study the case…
On the example of linearized elasticity we provide a framework for simultaneous homogenization and dimension reduction in the setting of linearized elasticity as well as non-linear elasticity for the derivation of homogenized von K\'arm\'an…
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…
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…
he inhomogeneous structure of a fluid at a wall can be characterized in several ways. Within a thermodynamic description the surface free energy $\gamma$ and the excess adsorption $\Gamma$ are of central importance. For theoretical studies…
We propose nonlinear semi-discrete and discrete models for the elastic energy induced by a finite systems of edge dislocations in two dimensions. Within the dilute regime, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the nonlinear elastic energy,…
In the context of elasticity theory, rigidity theorems allow to derive global properties of a deformation from local ones. This paper presents a new asymptotic version of rigidity, applicable to elastic bodies with sufficiently stiff…
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…
A Green's function formalism is used to calculate the spectrum of localized modes of an impurity layer implanted within a ferromagnetic thin film. The equations of motion for the Green's functions are determined in the framework of the…
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 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…
In this paper an asymptotic homogenization method for the analysis of composite materials with periodic microstructure in presence of thermodiffusion is described. Appropriate down-scaling relations correlating the microscopic fields to the…
We study homogenization by $\Gamma$-convergence of periodic nonconvex integrals when the integrand has quasiconvex growth with convex effective domain.
A rate-independent model for the quasistatic evolution of a magnetoelastic thin film is advanced and analyzed. Starting from the three-dimensional setting, we present an evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence argument in order to pass to the…
We study a Cahn-Hilliard model for phase separation in composite materials with multiple periodic microstructures. These are modeled by considering a highly oscillating potential. The focus of this paper is in the case where the scales of…
The starting point of our analysis is a class of one-dimensional interacting particle systems with two species. The particles are confined to an interval and exert a nonlocal, repelling force on each other, resulting in a nontrivial…
In this paper, we analyze a model composed by coupled local and nonlocal diffusion equations acting in different subdomains. We consider the limit case when one of the subdomains is thin in one direction (it is concentrated to a domain of…
We derive Griffith functionals in the framework of linearized elasticity from nonlinear and frame indifferent energies in brittle fracture via Gamma-convergence. The convergence is given in terms of rescaled displacement fields measuring…
The results on $\Gamma$-limits of sequences of free-discontinuity functionals with bounded cohesive surface terms are extended to the case of vector-valued functions. In this framework, we prove an integral representation result for the…
