Configurational forces on elastic structures
Davide Bigoni, Federico Bosi, Francesco Dal Corso +1
The discovery of configurational forces acting on elastic structures and its initial applications are reviewed. Configurational forces are related to the possibility that an elasti…
Asymptotic self-restabilization of a continuous elastic structure
F. Bosi, D. Misseroni, F. Dal Corso +2
A challenge in soft robotics and soft actuation is the determination of an elastic system which spontaneously recovers its trivial path during postcritical deformation after a bifu…
Development of configurational forces during the injection of an elastic rod
F. Bosi, D. Misseroni, F. Dal Corso +1
When an inextensible elastic rod is 'injected' through a sliding sleeve against a fixed constraint, configurational forces are developed, deeply influencing the mechanical response…
Eshelby-like forces acting on elastic structures: theoretical and experimental proof
Davide Bigoni, Francesco Dal Corso, Federico Bosi +1
The Eshelbian (or configurational) force is the main concept of a celebrated theoretical framework associated with the motion of dislocations and, more in general, defects in solid…
Stress concentration near stiff inclusions: validation of rigid inclusion model and boundary layers by means of photoelasticity
Diego Misseroni, Francesco Dal Corso, Summer Shahzad +1
Photoelasticity is employed to investigate the stress state near stiff rectangular and rhombohedral inclusions embedded in a 'soft' elastic plate. Results show that the singular st…
