Thermal convection in a higher velocity gradient and higher temperature gradient fluid
Giulia Giantesio, Alberto Girelli, Chiara Lonati +3
We analyse a model for thermal convection in a class of generalized Navier-Stokes equations containing fourth order spatial derivatives of the velocity and of the temperature. The…
A comparison between active strain and active stress in transversely isotropic hyperelastic materials
Giulia Giantesio, Alessandro Musesti, Davide Riccobelli
Active materials are media for which deformations can occur in absence of loads, given an external stimulus. Two approaches to the modeling of such materials are mainly used in lit…
A continuum model of skeletal muscle tissue with loss of activation
Giulia Giantesio, Alessandro Musesti
We present a continuum model for the mechanical behavior of the skeletal muscle tissue when its functionality is reduced due to aging. The loss of ability of activating is typical…
Strain-dependent internal parameters in hyperelastic biological materials
Giulia Giantesio, Alessandro Musesti
The behavior of hyperelastic energies depending on an internal parameter, which is a function of the deformation gradient, is discussed. As an example, the analysis of two models w…
A nonlinear Korn inequality based on the Green-Saint Venant strain tensor
Alessandro Musesti
A nonlinear Korn inequality based on the Green-Saint Venant strain tensor is proved, whenever the displacement is in the Sobolev space , , under Dirichlet conditi…
An optimal bound on the number of moves for open Mancala
Alessandro Musesti, Maurizio Paolini, Cesco Reale
We determine the optimal bound for the maximum number of moves required to reach a periodic configuration of open mancala (also called open owari), inspired by a popular African ga…
Nonlinear free fall of one-dimensional rigid bodies in hyperviscous fluids
Giulio G. Giusteri, Alfredo Marzocchi, Alessandro Musesti
We consider the free fall of slender rigid bodies in a viscous incompressible fluid. We show that the dimensional reduction (DR), performed by substituting the slender bodies with…
Steady free fall of one-dimensional bodies in a hyperviscous fluid at low Reynolds number
Giulio G. Giusteri, Alfredo Marzocchi, Alessandro Musesti
The paper is devoted to the study of the motion of one-dimensional rigid bodies during a free fall in a quasi-Newtonian hyperviscous fluid at low Reynolds number. We show the exist…
