Liquid relaxation: A new Parodi-like relation for nematic liquid crystals
Paolo Biscari, Antonio DiCarlo, Stefano S. Turzi
We put forward a hydrodynamic theory of nematic liquid crystals that includes both anisotropic elasticity and dynamic relaxation. Liquid remodeling is encompassed through a continu…
Encasement as a morphogenetic mechanism: The case of bending
Paolo Biscari, Pier Luigi Susini, Giovanni Zanzotto
We study how the encasement of a growing elastic bulk within a possibly differently growing elastic coat may induce mechanical instabilities in the equilibrium shape of the combine…
Intermittency in crystal plasticity informed by lattice symmetry
Paolo Biscari, Marco Fabrizio Urbano, Anna Zanzottera +1
We develop a nonlinear, three-dimensional phase field model for crystal plasticity which accounts for the infinite and discrete symmetry group G of the underlying periodic lattice.…
Strain intermittency in shape-memory alloys
Xavier Balandraud, Noemi Barrera, Paolo Biscari +2
We study experimentally the intermittent progress of the mechanically induced martensitic transformation in a Cu-Al-Be single crystal through a full-field measurement technique: th…
