OxTalks is Changing
During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).

Advanced Effective Models in Elasticity
I will discuss two classes of effective, macroscopic models in elasticity: (i) 1D models applicable to thin structures, and (ii) homogenized 2D or 3D continua applicable to materials with a periodic microstructure. In both systems, the separation of scales calls for the definition of macroscopic models that slave fine-scale fluctuations to an effective, macroscopic deformation field. I will show how such models can be established in a systematic and rigorous way based on a two-scale expansion that accounts for nonlinear and higher-order (i.e. deformation gradient) effects. I will further demonstrate that the resulting models accurately predict nonlinear effects, finite size effects and localization for a set of examples. Finally, I will discuss two challenges that arise when solving these effective models: (1) missed boundary layer effects and (2) negative stiffness associated with higher-order terms.
