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 in Penetration Processes
Davide Bigoni, Marco Amato, Francesco Dal Corso
With a loose reference to problems of penetration in biomechanics (for instance, a nanoparticle penetrating through a cell's membrane or a cell sucked with a pipette), the role of…
