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…
Stabilization against gravity and self-tuning of an elastic variable-length rod through an oscillating sliding sleeve
Panagiotis Koutsogiannakis, Diego Misseroni, Davide Bigoni +1
An elastic rod, straight in its undeformed state, has a mass attached at one end and a variable length, due to a constraint at the other end by a frictionless sliding sleeve. The c…
Fusion of two stable elastic structures resulting in an unstable system
Marco Rossi, Andrea Piccolroaz, Davide Bigoni
It is shown that a compound elastic structure, which displays a dynamic instability, may be designed as the union (or 'fusion') of two structures which are stable when separately a…
Configurational forces on elastic structures
Davide Bigoni, Federico Bosi, Francesco Dal Corso +1
The discovery of configurational forces acting on elastic structures and its initial applications are reviewed. Configurational forces are related to the possibility that an elasti…
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…
Double restabilization and design of force-displacement response of the extensible elastica with movable constraints
Panagiotis Koutsogiannakis, Davide Bigoni, Francesco Dal Corso
A highly deformable rod, modelled as the extensible elastica, is connected to a movable clamp at one end and to a pin sliding along a frictionless curved profile at the other. Bifu…
