Modeling and analysis of water-hammer in coaxial pipes
Pierluigi Cesana, Neal Bitter
The fluid-structure interaction is studied for a system composed of two coaxial pipes in an annular geometry, for both homogeneous isotropic metal pipes and fiber-reinforced (aniso…
Asymptotic analysis of hierarchical martensitic microstructure
Pierluigi Cesana, Marcel Porta, Turab Lookman
We consider a hierarchical nested microstructure, which also contains a point of singularity (disclination) at the origin, observed in lead orthovanadate. We show how to exactly co…
Effective behavior of nematic elastomer membranes
Pierluigi Cesana, Paul Plucinsky, Kaushik Bhattacharya
We derive the effective energy density of thin membranes of liquid crystal elastomers as the Gamma-limit of a widely used bulk model. These membranes can display fine-scale feature…
