Elastic-brittle reinforcement of flexural structures
Francesco Maddalena, Danilo Percivale, Franco Tomarelli
This note provides a variational description of the mechanical effects of flexural stiffening of a 2D plate glued to an elastic-brittle or an elastic-plastic reinforcement. The rei…

A new variational approach to linearization of traction problems in elasticity
Francesco Maddalena, Danilo Percivale, Franco Tomarelli
A new energy functional for pure traction problems in elasticity has been deduced in [23] as the variational limit of nonlinear elastic energy functional for a material body subjec…

The gap in Pure Traction Problems between Linear Elasticity and Variational Limit of Finite Elasticity
Francesco Maddalena, Danilo Percivale, Franco Tomarelli
A limit elastic energy for pure traction problem is derived from re-scaled nonlinear energy of an hyperelastic material body subject to an equilibrated force field. We show that th…
