Simulation of anisotropic motion by mean curvature -- comparison of phase field and sharp interface approaches.
Some qualitative results for the linear theory of binary mixtures of thermoelastic solids.
In this paper we study the linear thermodynamical problem of mixtures of thermoelastic solids. We use some results of the semigroup theory to obtain an existence theorem for the initial value problem with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Continuous dependence of solutions upon the initial data and body forces is also established. We finish with a study of the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the homogeneous problem.
Some thoughts on the material mechanics of materials.
This paper outlines recent developments and prospects in the application of the continuum mechanics expressed intrinsically on the material manifold itself. This includes applications to materially inhomogeneous materials, physical effects which, in this vision, manifest themselves as quasi-inhomogeneities, and the notion of thermodynamical driving force of the dissipative progress of singular point sets on the material manifold with special emphasis on fracture, shock waves and phase-transition...
Sottopotenziali energia libera per l'isteresi meccanica
This paper deals with free-energy lower-potentials for some rate-independent one-dimensional models of isothermal finite elastoplasticity proposed in [1]. Extending the thermodynamic arguments of Coleman and Owen [3] to large deformations, the existence, non-uniqueness and regularity of free-energy as function of state are deduced rather than assumed. This approach, along with some optimal control techniques, enables us to construct maximum and minimum free-energy functions and a wide class of differentiable...

Su un particolare vincolo interno superficiale per solidi termoelastici
In questo lavoro si ricavano alcuni risultati fondamentali che caratterizzano il comportamento termoelastico di solidi definiti da equazioni costitutive alquanto generali in presenza di un vincolo interno superficiale. Con tale vincolo si suppone che durante ogni processo esiste una famiglia di superfici la cui dilatazione superficiale è unitaria nel caso di vincolo puramente meccanico, ed è invece una funzione nota della temperatura nell'ipotesi più generale di vincolo termomeccanico.
Sulla propagazione e sull'evoluzione di onde nei solidi termoelastici. Nota II
According to a thermodynamic theory proposed by G. Grioli, we consider the problem of determining the solutions for the growth of acceleration waves in an elastic body. At first we determine a property of the velocities of waves propagation and we determine some limitations for the free energy; then we resolve the above mentioned problem for the «small» waves working on the iperacceleration waves.

Sulla unicità della entropia nella termoelasticità di Cattaneo-Maxwell
In this paper we prove that for elastic, isotropic, omogeneus materials for which the heat flux vector obey the relation of Cattaneo there is a unique continuously differentiable entropy function.
Sull'equilibrio termoelastico di un particolare solido incomprimibile
We consider an incompressible elastic solid which admits a configuration of equilibrium having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped when external forces are absent. We look for a thermoelastic transformation mapping that configuration onto a cylindrical wedge . The problem we consider is analogous to the one where both and are cylindrical crowns. This case has been considered by T. Manacorda Referring to a system of cylindrical coordinates , and , we show that the transformation...
