Global minimality of lamellae for isotropic Ohta--Kawasaki and Yukawa energies
Dario Reggiani
We establish a sharp comparison principle for the sharp-interface Ohta--Kawasaki energy and its Yukawa-screened counterpart in dimensions , for , and under period…
Fractured membranes under determinant constraints: the case of cohesive surface energies
Nicola Pio Melillo, Dario Reggiani
This paper is devoted to the variational derivation of reduced models for elastic membranes with fracture under constraints on the determinant of the deformation gradient. We consi…
A distributional approach to nonlocal curvature flows
Filippo Cagnetti, Massimiliano Morini, Dario Reggiani
In \cite{CMP17} a novel distributional approach has been introduced to provide a well-posed formulation of a class of crystalline mean curvature flows. In this paper, such an appro…
From discrete to continuum in the helical XY-model: emergence of chirality transitions in the to limit
Marco Cicalese, Dario Reggiani, Francesco Solombrino
We analyze the discrete-to-continuum limit of a frustrated ferromagnetic/anti-ferromagnetic -valued spin system on the lattice as . For $\…
Geometric rigidity for incompatible fields in the multi-well case and an application to strain-gradient plasticity
Stefano Almi, Dario Reggiani, Francesco Solombrino
We derive a quantitative rigidity estimate for a multi-well problem in nonlinear elasticity with dislocations. Precisely, we show that the -distance of a possibly incomp…
Lower semicontinuity and relaxation for free discontinuity functionals with non-standard growth
Stefano Almi, Dario Reggiani, Francesco Solombrino
A lower semicontinuity result and a relaxation formula for free discontinuity functionals with non-standard growth in the bulk energy are provided. Our analysis is based on a non-t…
Brittle membranes in finite elasticity
Stefano Almi, Dario Reggiani, Francesco Solombrino
This work is devoted to the variational derivation of a reduced model for brittle membranes in finite elasticity. The main mathematical tools we develop for our analysis are: (i) a…
