Torsional instabilities of Greenhill type in elastic rods
We define and characterize weak and strong two-scale convergence in Lp, C0 and other spaces via a transformation of variable, extending Nguetseng's definition. We derive several properties, including weak and strong two-scale compactness; in particular we prove two-scale versions of theorems of Ascoli-Arzelà, Chacon, Riesz, and Vitali. We then approximate two-scale derivatives, and define two-scale convergence in spaces of either weakly or strongly differentiable functions. We also derive...
A vibrating string, modelled by the wave equation, with an interior mass is considered. It is viewed as a linear delay system. A trajectory tracking problem is solved using a new type of controllability.
L'attività di ricerca di chi scrive si è finora indirizzata principalmente verso l'esame dei modelli di transizione di fase, dei modelli di isteresi, e delle relative equazioni non lineari alle derivate parziali. Qui si illustrano brevemente tali problematiche, indicando alcuni degli elementi che le collegano tra di loro. Il lavoro è organizzato come segue. I paragrafi 1, 2, 3 vertono sulle transizioni di fase: si introducono le formulazioni forte e debole del classico modello di Stefan, e si illustrano...
In this Note II we continue the analysis of the phenomenon of mechanical twinning that we began in a preceding Note I. Furthermore, we point out some fundamental properties useful in the study of growth twins, for which a fully comprehensive thermoelastic theory is not yet available.
In the present Note I and in a following Note II (Zanzotto 1988), we discuss, taking into account some available experimental data, the results of a thermoelastic theory of twinning in crystalline solids. Various noteworthy problems emerge, some of which involve the hypotheses that are at the very basis of the theory.
