Structural optimization using sensitivity analysis and a level-set method

TL;DR: A new numerical method based on a combination of the classical shape derivative and of the level-set method for front propagation, which can easily handle topology changes and is strongly dependent on the initial guess.

Nonlinear problems of elasticity

TL;DR: This book discusses the theory and applications of Bifurcation Theory and its applications to Elasticity, as well as problems in Nonlinear Elasticity and Dynamical Problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fine phase mixtures as minimizers of energy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore a theoretical approach to these fine phase mixtures based on the minimization of free energy and show that the α-phase breaks up into triangular domains called Dauphine twins which become finer and finer in the direction of increasing temperature.

On the Cauchy problem for Boltzmann equations: global existence and weak stability

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the large-data Cauchy problem for Boltzmann equations with general collision kernels and proved that sequences of solutions which satisfy only the physically natural a priori bounds converge weakly in L' to a solution.

A Theorem on Geometric Rigidity and the Derivation of Nonlinear Plate Theory from Three-Dimensional Elasticity

TL;DR: The energy functional of nonlinear plate theory is a curvature functional for surfaces rst proposed on physical grounds by G. Kirchhoff in 1850 as mentioned in this paper, and it arises as a 0-limit of three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity theory as the thickness of a plate goes to zero.

The physics of rubber elasticity

TL;DR: In this paper, the Elasticity of Long-Chain Molecules (LCHs) and Elasticity in a Molecular Network (MNNs) is investigated. But the authors focus on the elasticity of the long chain Molecules.

Théorie des distributions

TL;DR: The merite as discussed by the authors is a date marque une date dans le progres des mathematiques and de la physique en levant l'ambiguite que constituait le succes des methodes de calcul symbolique aupres des physiciens and l'inacceptabilite de leurs formules au regard de la rigueur mathematiques.

Multiple integrals in the calculus of variations

TL;DR: In this paper, a variational method in the theory of harmonic integrals has been proposed to solve the -Neumann problem on strongly pseudo-convex manifolds and parametric Integrals two-dimensional problems.
