On a non-isothermal model for nematic liquid crystals
E. Feireisl, E. Rocca, G. Schimperna
A model describing the evolution of a liquid crystal substance in the nematic phase is investigated in terms of three basic state variables: the {\it absolute temperature} $\teta$,…
A model for shape memory alloys with the possibility of voids
Michel Fremond, Elisabetta Rocca
The paper is devoted to the study of a mathematical model for the thermomechanical evolution of metallic shape memory alloys. The main novelty of our approach consists in the fact…
Phase separation in a gravity field
Pavel Krejci, Elisabetta Rocca, Juergen Sprekels
We prove here well-posedness and convergence to equilibria for the solution trajectories associated to a model for solidification of a liquid content of a rigid container in a grav…
A bottle in a freezer
Pavel Krejci, Elisabetta Rocca, Juergen Sprekels
We propose here a model for solidification of a liquid contents of an elastic bottle in a freezer. The main goal is to explain the occurrence of high stresses inside the bottle. As…
