EDOARDO MAININI - UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI GENOVA - A PHASE FIELD APPROACH TO EULERIAN INTERFACIAL ENERGIES

January 22, 2019 at 15:00 in Buzano room - DISMA (third floor)

In this seminar, Dr Mainini will analyze a nonlinear elasticity model for a two-phase material, in which the interface is measured in the deformed configuration. To this aim, sets of finite perimeter will be characterized in relation to Sobolev deformation mappings. Dr Mainini will discuss a functional frame allowing for the existence of minimisers and Gamma-convergence of approximating diffuse-interface functionals.
