A highly anisotropic nonlinear elasticity model for vesicles. II. Derivation of the thin bilayer bending theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the thin-shell limit of the nonlinear elasticity model for vesicles introduced in part I. We consider vesicles of width 2ε ↓ 0 with elastic energy of order ε. In this regime, we show that the limit model is a bending theory for generalized hypersurfaces— namely, co-dimension one oriented varifolds without boundary. Up to a positive factor, the limit functional is the Willmore energy. In the language of Γ -convergence, we establish a compactness result, a lower bound result and the matching upper bound in the smooth case.

Nonlocal Bending Analysis of Bilayer Annular/Circular Nano Plates Based on First Order Shear Deformation Theory
In this paper, nonlinear bending analysis of bilayer orthotropic annular/circular graphene sheets is studied based on the nonlocal elasticity theory. The equilibrium equations are derived in terms of generalized displacements and rotations considering the first-order Shear deformation theory (FSDT). The nonlinear governing equations are solved using the differential quadrature method (DQM) whic...
متن کاملA highly anisotropic nonlinear elasticity model for vesicles I . Eulerian formulation , rigidity estimates and vanishing energy limit
We propose a nonlinear elasticity model for vesicle membranes which is an Eulerian version of a model introduced by Pantz and Trabelsi. We describe the limit behavior of sequences of configurations whose energy goes to 0 in a fixed domain. The material is highly anisotropic and the analysis is based on some rigidity estimates adapted to this anisotropy. The main part of the paper is devoted to ...

We study the thin-shell limit of the nonlinear elasticity model for vesicles introduced in part I. We consider vesicles of width 2ε ↓ 0 with elastic energy of order ε 3. In this regime, we show that the limit model is a bending theory for generalized hypersurfaces — namely, co-dimension 1 oriented varifolds without boundary. Up to a positive factor, the limit functional is the Willmore energy. ...

This paper analyzes the effects of structures and loads on the static bending and free vibration problems of bilayer beams. Based on static mechanical equilibrium and energy equilibrium, the static and dynamic governing equations of bilayer beam are established. It is found that the value of the thickness ratio has a significant effect on the static and dynamic responses of the beam, and the st...
