In this article, we explore the possibility of modeling the interaction of a 2d elastic body with a thin 2d elastic body of possibly higher thickness using a 1d model for the thin body. We use the asymptotic analysis with respect to the small thickness of the 2d interaction model and formulate five different limit models depending on the order of stiffness of the thin body with respect to the thickness. Then we formulate a 2d–1d model which has the same asymptotics as the 2d–thin 2d model with respect to thickness. Finally, we numerically test the approximation of the 2d–thin 2d model by the 2d–1d model on two problems, one with an analytical solution and one more realistic problem.

This work proposes new interface conditions between the layers of a three-dimensional composite structure in the framework of coupled thermoelasticity. More precisely, the mechanical behavior of two linear isotropic thermoelastic solids, bonded together by a thin layer, constituted of a linear isotropic thermoelastic material, is studied by means of an asymptotic analysis. After defining a small parameter ε, which tends to zero, associated with the thickness and constitutive coefficients of the intermediate layer, two different limit models and their associated limit problems, the so-called soft and hard thermoelastic interface models, are characterized. The asymptotic expansion method is reviewed by taking into account the effect of higher-order terms and defining a generalized thermoelastic interface law which comprises the above aforementioned models, as presented previously. A numerical example is presented to show the efficiency of the proposed methodology, based on a finite element approach developed previously.

AbstractAn inverse problem for an elastic body with a thin elastic inclusion is investigated. It is assumed that the inclusion crosses the external boundary of the elastic body. A connection between the inclusion and the elastic body is characterized by the damage parameter. We study a dependence of the solutions on the damage parameter. In particular, passages to infinity and to zero of the damage parameter are investigated. Limit models are analyzed. Assuming that the damage and rigidity parameters of the model are unknown, inverse problems are formulated. Sufficient conditions for the inverse problems to have solutions are found. Estimates concerning solutions of the inverse problem are established.

In this study, we describe different modeling approaches for ovarian follicle population dynamics, based on either ordinary (ODE), partial (PDE) or stochastic (SDE) differential equations, and accounting for interactions between follicles. We put a special focus on representing the population-level feedback exerted by growing ovarian follicles onto the activation of quiescent follicles. We take advantage of the timescale difference existing between the growth and activation processes to apply model reduction techniques in the framework of singular perturbations. We first study the linear versions of the models to derive theoretical results on the convergence to the limit models. In the nonlinear cases, we provide detailed numerical evidence of convergence to the limit behavior. We reproduce the main semi-quantitative features characterizing the ovarian follicle pool, namely a bimodal distribution of the whole population, and a slope break in the decay of the quiescent pool with aging.

We consider thin structures with a non necessarily realizable imposed metric, that only depends on the surface variable. We give a unified presentation of the three main limit models. We establish the generalized membrane model and we show, by means of an algebraic proof, that the internal membrane energy vanishes on short maps of the metric restricted to the plane. We recall that a generalized bending model can occur only when this reduced metric admits sufficiently regular isometric immersions. When the entries R12.. of the Riemannian curvature tensor are null, this bending energy can vanish; then the next model is necessarily a generalized von Kármán model whose minimum is zero if and only if the three-dimensional metric is flat.

AbstractIn the context of abstract elementary classes (AECs) with a monster model, several possible definitions of superstability have appeared in the literature. Among them are no long splitting chains, uniqueness of limit models, and solvability. Under the assumption that the class is tame and stable, we show that (asymptotically) no long splitting chains implies solvability and uniqueness of limit models implies no long splitting chains. Using known implications, we can then conclude that all the previously-mentioned definitions (and more) are equivalent:Corollary.LetKbe a tame AEC with a monster model. Assume thatKis stable in a proper class of cardinals. The following are equivalent:(1)For all high-enough λ,Khas no long splitting chains.(2)For all high-enough λ, there exists a good λ-frame on a skeleton ofKλ.(3)For all high-enough λ,Khas a unique limit model of cardinality λ.(4)For all high-enough λ,Khas a superlimit model of cardinality λ.(5)For all high-enough λ, the union of any increasing chain of λ-saturated models is λ-saturated.(6)There exists μ such that for all high-enough λ,Kis (λ,μ) -solvable.This gives evidence that there is a clear notion of superstability in the framework of tame AECs with a monster model.
