Models for elastic shells with incompatible strains.
The three-dimensional shapes of thin lamina, such as leaves, flowers, feathers, wings, etc., are driven by the differential strain induced by the relative growth. The growth takes place through variations in the Riemannian metric given on the thin sheet as a function of location in the central plane and also across its thickness. The shape is then a consequence of elastic energy minimization on...
متن کاملOn the G-Convergence of Discrete Dynamics and Variational Integrators
For a simple class of Lagrangians and variational integrators, derived by time discretization of the action functional, we establish (i) the -convergence of the discrete action sum to the action functional; (ii) the relation between -convergence and weak∗ convergence of the discrete trajectories in W 1,∞(R;Rn); and (iii) the relation between -convergence and the convergence of the Fourier trans...
متن کاملVariational Analysis of the Coupling Between a Geometrically Exact Cosserat Rod and an Elastic Continuum
We formulate the static mechanical coupling of a geometrically exact Cosserat rod to a nonlinearly elastic continuum. In this setting, appropriate coupling conditions have to connect a one-dimensional model with director variables to a three-dimensional model without directors. Two alternative coupling conditions are proposed, which correspond to two different configuration trace spaces. For bo...
متن کاملConvergence to equilibria in discrete population models
For a family of difference equations xnþ1 1⁄4 axn þ f ðxn2kÞ; n 1⁄4 0; 1; . . .;wherea [ ð0; 1Þ; k [ {1; 2; . . .}; and f : 1⁄20;1Þ! ð0;1Þ is continuous and decreasing, we find sufficient conditions for the convergence of all solutions to the unique positive equilibrium. In particular, we improve, up to our knowledge, all previous results on the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium in...
متن کاملVariational convergence of bivariate functions: lopsided convergence
We explore convergence notions for bivariate functions that yield convergence and stability results for their maxinf (or minsup) points. This lays the foundations for the study of the stability of solutions to variational inequalities, the solutions of inclusions, of Nash equilibrium points of non-cooperative games and Walras economic equilibrium points, of fixed points, of solutions to inclusi...
