Asymptotic expansions by Γ-convergence
We propose a new framework aimed at constructing approximations of different order to static mechanical models with variational structure. Our starting point is a parameterized family of functionals (a ‘theory’) and we are interested in approximating the global minimuma of the energy when a secondary small parameter goes to zero. The goal is to develop a set of increasingly accurate asymptotic ...
متن کاملMulti-Scale Analysis by Γ-convergence of a Shell-Membrane Transition
We study the asymptotic behavior of functionals associated to the energy of a thin nonlinear elastic spherical shell in the limit of vanishing thickness (proportional to a small parameter) ε and under the assumption of radial deformations. The functionals are characterized by the presence of a nonlocal potential term and defined on suitable weighted functional spaces. The transition shell-membr...
متن کاملVariational models for phase transitions An approach via Γ-convergence
This paper is an extended version of the lecture delivered at the Summer School on Differential Equations and Calculus of Variations (Pisa, September 16-28, 1996). That lecture was conceived as an introduction to the theory of Γ-convergence and in particular to the Modica-Mortola theorem; I have tried to reply the style and the structure of the lecture also in the written version. Thus first co...
متن کاملDeriving effective models for multiscale systems via evolutionary Γ-convergence
We discuss possible extensions of the recently established theory of evolutionary Γ-convergence for gradient systems to nonlinear dynamical systems obtained by perturbation of a gradient systems. Thus, it is possible to derive effective equations for pattern forming systems with multiple scales. Our applications include homogenization of reaction-diffusion systems, the justification of amplitud...
متن کاملLinear Models for Composite Thin-Walled Beams by Γ-Convergence. Part I: Open Cross Sections
We consider a beam whose cross-section is a tubular neighborhood, with thickness scaling with a parameter δε, of a simple curve γ whose length scales with ε. To model a thin-walled beam we assume that δε goes to zero faster than ε, and we measure the rate of convergence by a slenderness parameter s which is the ratio between ε2 and δε. In this Part I of the work we focus on the case where the c...
