Heterogeneous elastic plates with in-plane modulation of the target curvature and applications to thin gel sheets
Virginia Agostiniani, Alessandro Lucantonio, Danka Lučić
We rigorously derive a Kirchhoff plate theory, via -convergence, from a three-di\-men\-sio\-nal model that describes the finite elasticity of an elastically heterogeneous, thin…

Dimension reduction via Gamma-convergence for soft active materials
Virginia Agostiniani, Antonio DeSimone
We present a rigorous derivation of dimensionally reduced theories for thin sheets of nematic elastomers, in the finite bending regime. Focusing on the case of twist nematic textur…
