A nonlinear model of shearable elastic rod from an origami-like microstructure displaying folding and faulting
M. Paradiso, F. Dal Corso, D. Bigoni
A new continuous model of shearable rod, subject to large elastic deformation, is derived from nonlinear homogenization of a one-dimensional periodic microstructured chain. As part…
The elastica sling
Alessandro Cazzolli, Francesco Dal Corso
The nonlinear mechanics of a flexible elastic rod constrained at its edges by a pair of sliding sleeves is analyzed. The planar equilibrium configurations of this variable-length e…
Elastic solids under frictionless rigid contact and configurational force
Francesco Dal Corso, Marco Amato, Davide Bigoni
A homogeneous elastic solid, bounded by a flat surface in its unstressed configuration, undergoes a finite strain when in frictionless contact against a rigid and rectilinear const…
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…
Snapping of elastic strips with controlled ends
Alessandro Cazzolli, Francesco Dal Corso
Snapping mechanisms are investigated for an elastic strip with ends imposed to move and rotate in time. Attacking the problem analytically via Euler's elastica and the second varia…
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…
