A new perspective in linear Cauchy Elasticity: variational minimum principles for statics, dynamics, and heterogeneous materials
Amit Acharya
A variational minimum principle for linear elastodynamics of a possibly heterogeneous material without a stored energy function is developed. It involves a change of variables to d…

Dynamic micromagnetism a la Ericksen-Leslie, and the constrained polar continuum mechanics of hard magnetic soft materials
Amit Acharya, Siladitya Pal
A model of dissipative micromagnetics coupled to (visco-)elasticity is explored, following the procedures of the Ericksen-Leslie theory of nematic liquid crystals allowing for angu…

Variational Dual Solutions for Incompressible Fluids
Amit Acharya, Bianca Stroffolini, Arghir Zarnescu
We consider a construction proposed in \cite{acharyaQAM} that builds on the notion of weak solutions for incompressible fluids to provide a scheme that generates variationally a ce…
