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…
Double restabilization and design of force-displacement response of the extensible elastica with movable constraints
Panagiotis Koutsogiannakis, Davide Bigoni, Francesco Dal Corso
A highly deformable rod, modelled as the extensible elastica, is connected to a movable clamp at one end and to a pin sliding along a frictionless curved profile at the other. Bifu…
Elastica catastrophe machine: theory, design and experiments
Alessandro Cazzolli, Diego Misseroni, Francesco Dal Corso
The theory, the design and the experimental validation of a catastrophe machine based on a flexible element are addressed for the first time. A general theoretical framework is dev…
Configurational forces and nonlinear structural dynamics
Costanza Armanini, Francesco Dal Corso, Diego Misseroni +1
Configurational, or Eshelby-like, forces are shown to strongly influence the nonlinear dynamics of an elastic rod constrained with a frictionless sliding sleeve at one end and with…
Nested Bloch waves in elastic structures with configurational forces
Francesco Dal Corso, Domenico Tallarico, Natalia V. Movchan +2
Small axial and flexural oscillations are analyzed for a periodic and infinite structure, constrained by sliding sleeves and composed of elastic beams. A nested Bloch-Floquet techn…
Identification of second-gradient elastic materials from planar hexagonal lattices. Part II: Mechanical characteristics and model validation
G. Rizzi, F. Dal Corso, D. Veber +1
Positive definiteness and symmetry of the constitutive tensors describing a second-gradient elastic (SGE) material, which is energetically equivalent to a hexagonal planar lattice…
