Strange equilibria of elastic rods: elastic arm scale, torsional gun, and the dripping of the Euler's elastica

Abstract: The problem of an elastic rod deforming in a plane, namely the so-called ‘planar elastica’, has a long history, rooting to Jacob Bernoulli (1654-1705), Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), Leonhard...

Mechanics of out-of-plane deformation patterns in supported graphene

Abstract: Graphene is a two-dimensional material with a unique set of properties, many of which rely on its planar two-dimensional structure. In many applications, graphene is supported on a substrate...

Mathematical Methods and Inventive Engineering

 Abstract: Engineering, intended as the capability of producing innovation and new technology, pays an important tribute to mathematics. It is well known how the increasing computer power open th...

Appearance Fabrication: An Optimization Approach

Abstract: Today’s 3D printers are likely to revolutionize personal fabrication, with their hardware improving everyday and their cost getting lower. In this walk, I will present my work in using 3D pr...

Existence of traveling waves for Lipschitz discrete dynamics: monostable case as a limit of bistable cases

We study discrete monostable dynamics with general Lipschitz non-linearities. This includes also degenerate non-linearities. In the positive monostable case, we show the existence of a branch of trave...

Invariant measure for the non linear Schrödinger equation on R displaying a local non linearity

We consider the equation on R i∂tu−Δu+χ|u|2u=0 where χ is a smooth function decaying at infinity. The aim of this talk is to build an invariant measure for this equation supported below L2. We will in...

Evolution of microstructures for a damage model

SEMINARIO DEI DOTTORANDI Starting from the damage model for elastic material introduced by Francfort&Marigo, we will present results that combines efficiently the notion of quasi-static evolution ...

A Dirichlet problem involving the divergence operator

Given a vector field a and a function f, we want to find a vector field u such that {divu+⟨a;u⟩=f u=0in Ωon ∂Ω. This is a joint work with Gyula Csato....

On the structure of optimal martingale transport plans in general dimensions

I will describe the profile of optimal solutions of the martingale counterpart of the Monge mass transport problem. These are one-step martingales that maximize or minimize the expected value of the m...

Multi orbit concentration

In this lecture we consider a singularly perturbed semilinear elliptic problem with power non-linearity in Annular Domains in R2n and show the existence of two orthogonal Sn−1 concentrating solution...
