On the Effective Mass of Mechanical Lattices with Microstructure
Francesco Fedele, Phanish Suryanarayana, Arash Yavari
We present a general formalism for the analysis of mechanical lattices with microstructure using the concept of effective mass. We first revisit a classical case of microstructure…
Geometric Phases of Nonlinear Elastic -Rotors via Cartan's Moving Frames
Francesco Fedele, Arash Yavari
We study the geometric phases of nonlinear elastic -rotors with continuous rotational symmetry. In the Hamiltonian framework, the geometric structure of the phase space is a pri…
On the stability of the laminar boundary layer beneath a Stokes wave
Francesco Fedele
The linear stability of the laminar boundary layer flow of a Stokes wave in deep waters is investigated by means of a 'momentary' criterion of instability for unsteady flows (Blond…
Crest speeds of unsteady surface water waves
Francesco Fedele, Michael L. Banner, Xavier Barthelemy
Intuitively, crest speeds of water waves are assumed to match their phase velocities. However, this is generally not the case for natural waves within unsteady wave groups. This mo…
The sinking of the El Faro: predicting real world rogue waves during Hurricane Joaquin
Francesco Fedele, Claudio Lugni, Arun Chawla
We present a study on the prediction of rogue waves during the 1-hour sea state of Hurricane Joaquin when the Merchant Vessel El Faro sank east of the Bahamas on October 1, 2015. H…
Are rogue waves really unexpected?
Francesco Fedele
An unexpected wave is defined by Gemmrich & Garrett (2008) as a wave that is much taller than a set of neighboring waves. Their definition of "unexpected" refers to a wave that is…
