This paper addresses the question of the interplay between relaxation and irreversibility through quasi-static evolutions in damage mechanics, by inquiring the following question: can the quasi-static evolution of an elastic material…

We propose a model for quasistatic growth of cavities and cracks in two-dimensional nonlinear elasticity. Cavities and cracks are modeled as discrete and compact subsets of a planar domain, respectively, and deformations are defined only…

This paper considers a general framework for the study of the existence of quasi-variational and variational solutions to a class of nonlinear evolution systems in convex sets of Banach spaces describing constraints on a linear combination…

We consider the quasi-static evolution of a brittle layer on a stiff substrate; adhesion between layers is assumed to be elastic. Employing a phase-field approach we obtain the quasi-static evolution as the limit of time-discrete evolutions…

The quasistatic rate-independent damage combined with linearized plasticity with hardening at small strains is investigated. The fractional-step time discretisation is devised with the purpose to obtain a numerically efficient scheme…

By extending to the stochastic setting the classical vanishing viscosity approach we prove the existence of suitably weak solutions of a class of nonlinear stochastic evolution equation of rate-independent type. Approximate solutions are…

In this paper we contribute to studying the issue of quasistatic limit in the context of Griffith's theory by investigating a one-dimensional debonding model. It describes the evolution of a thin film partially glued to a rigid substrate…

A class of evolution quasistatic systems which leads, after a suitable time discretization, to recursive nonlinear programs, is considered and optimal control or identification problems governed by such systems are investigated. The…

We study a model for the deformation of a visco-elasto-plastic material that is nearly incompressible. It originates from geophysics, is given in the Eulerian description and combines a Kelvin-Voigt rheology in the spherical part with a…

Quasicrystals are characterized by quasi-periodic arrangements of atoms. The description of their mechanics involves deformation and a (so called phason) vector field accounting at macroscopic scale of local phase changes, due to atomic…

We introduce the notion of a quasistatic dynamical system, which generalizes that of an ordinary dynamical system. Quasistatic dynamical systems are inspired by the namesake processes in thermodynamics, which are idealized processes where…

The plastic flow of a polycrystal is analyzed assuming grains as fine that the rate limiting process is grain boundary sliding, and grains readily accommodate their shapes by slip to preserve spatial continuity. It is shown that thinking of…

We present a phenomenological time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory of nonlinear plastic deformations in solids. Because the problem is very complex, we first give models in one and two dimensions without vacancies and interstitials, where…

We formulate and study two mathematical models of a thermoforming process involving a membrane and a mould as implicit obstacle problems. In particular, the membrane-mould coupling is determined by the thermal displacement of the mould that…

Quasistatic evolutions of critical points of time-dependent energies exhibit piecewise smooth behavior, making them useful for modeling continuum mechanics phenomena like elastic-plasticity and fracture. Traditionally, such evolutions have…

This note addresses a three-dimensional model for isothermal stress-induced transformation in shape-memory polycrystalline materials. We treat the problem within the framework of the energetic formulation of rate-independent processes and…

In this paper we study the quasistatic crack growth for a cohesive zone model. We assume that the crack path is prescribed and we study the time evolution of the crack in the framework of the variational theory of rate-independent…

A non-equilibrium theory of isothermal and diffusionless evolution of incoherent interfaces within a plastically deforming solid is developed. The irreversible dynamics of the interface are driven by its normal motion, incoherency (slip and…

The quasistatic, Prandtl-Reuss perfect plasticity at small strains is combined with a gradient, reversible (i.e. admitting healing) damage which influences both the elastic moduli and the yield stress. Existence of weak solutions of the…

In this paper we study a rate-independent system for the propagation of damage and plasticity. To construct solutions we resort to approximation in terms of viscous evolutions, where viscosity affects both damage and plasticity with the…
