Towards a phase-field model for thin structures: a coarse-grained constitutive law for brittle fracture of beams
Giovanni Corsi, Antonino Favata, Stefano Vidoli
Damage gradient models approximate fracture mechanics using a modulation of the material stiffness. To this aim a single scalar field, the damage, is used to degrade as a whole the…
Competition between epithelial tissue elasticity and surface tension in cancer morphogenesis
Antonino Favata, Roberto Paroni, Filippo Recrosi +1
We derive a continuum mechanical model to capture the morphological changes occurring at the pretumoral stage of epithelial tissues. The proposed model aims to investigate the comp…
Enhanced models for the nonlinear bending of planar rods: localization phenomena and multistability
Matteo Brunetti, Antonino Favata, Stefano Vidoli
We deduce a 1D model of elastic planar rods starting from the Föppl--von Kármán model of thin shells. Such model is enhanced by additional kinematical descriptors that keep explici…
An atomistic-based Föppl-von Kármán model for graphene
Cesare Davini, Antonino Favata, Roberto Paroni
We deduce a non-linear continuum model of graphene for the case of finite out-of-plane displacements and small in-plane deformations. On assuming that the lattice interactions are…
A 2D metamaterial with auxetic out-of-plane behavior and non-auxetic in-plane behavior
Cesare Davini, Antonino Favata, Andrea Micheletti +1
Customarily, in-plane auxeticity and synclastic bending behavior (i.e. out-of-plane auxeticity) are not independent, being the latter a manifestation of the former. Basically, this…
A new material property of graphene: the bending Poisson coefficient
Cesare Davini, Antonino Favata, Roberto Paroni
The in-plane infinitesimal deformations of graphene are well understood: they can be computed by solving the equilibrium problem for a sheet of isotropic elastic material with suit…
