Open AccessStress–strain curve and elastic behavior of the fibrotic lung with usual interstitial pneumonia pattern during protective mechanical ventilation
Patients with acute exacerbation of lung fibrosis with usual interstitial pneumonia (EUIP) pattern are at increased risk for ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and mortality when exposed to mechanical venti...

Open AccessPhysiological effects of lung-protective ventilation in patients with lung fibrosis and usual interstitial pneumonia pattern versus primary ARDS: a matched-control study
Although patients with interstitial pneumonia pattern (ILD-UIP) and acute exacerbation (AE) leading to severe acute respiratory failure may require invasive mechanical ventilation (MV), physiological data on l...

A Variational Derivation of Stoney-Like Formulas for Self-Stressed Bilayered Plates
Since the beginning of the 20th century, it is known that the spontaneous bending of heterogeneous bilayered plates correlates with the self-stress due to the contrast in the material properties of the two lay...

Derivation of Imperfect Interface Laws for Multi-Physic Composites by a Multiscale Approach: Theoretical and Numerical Studies
In the present study, we focus our attention to a specific type of composite, constituted by two media, called the adherents, bonded together with a thin interphase layer, called the adhesive. We assume that t...

Interface Laws for Multi-physic Composites
The paper describes the mechanical behavior of a composite constituted by two solids, bonded by a thin adhesive layer in a general multi-physic framework, by employing the asymptotic expansion technique. After...

Derivation of a model of imperfect interface with finite strains and damage by asymptotic techniques: an application to masonry structures
The proposed study aims to derive an imperfect interface model which couples finite strain and damaging. The governing equations are obtained via an asymptotic approach within the finite strain theory. Theoret...

A model of imperfect interface with damage
In this paper two models of damaged materials are presented. The first one describes a structure composed by two adherents and an adhesive which is micro-cracked and subject to two different regimes, one in tr...

A thermodynamical formulation for the constitutive modeling of a shape memory alloy with two martensite phases
This paper presents a thermodynamical formulation for the one-dimensional constitutive model for shape memory alloys (SMAs) proposed by the authors in Marfia and Rizzoni (Eur J Mech A Solids 40:166–185, 2013) and...

Numerical Analysis of Two Non-linear Soft Thin Layers
In a first part, we consider a bar with extremities subject to a given displacement and made by two elastic bodies with linear stress-strain relation separated by an adhesive layer of thickness h. The material of...

A constrained theory for single crystal shape memory wires with application to restrained recovery
The theory of thin wires developed in Dret and Meunier (Comptes Rendus de l’Académie des Sciences. Série I. Mathématique 337:143–147, 2003) is adapted to phase-transforming materials with large elastic moduli in ...

Weak Local Minimizers in Finite Elasticity
This paper deals with necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for a weak local minimum of the energy of a hyperelastic body. We consider anisotropic bodies of arbitrary shape, subject to prescribed disp...

Pressurized Shape Memory Thin Films
We study the behavior of a martensitic thin film with a hydrostatic pressure applied underneath the film. The problem is formulated in 3-D for a single crystal film of thickness h, and a Cosserat membrane theory ...
