Disordered network materials abound in both nature and synthetic situations while rigorous analysis of their nonlinear mechanical behaviors remains challenging. The purpose of this paper is to connect the mathematical framework of the sweeping …
We consider a differential inclusion known as a polyhedral sweeping process. The general sweeping process was introduced by J.-J. Moreau as a modeling framework for quasistatic deformations of elastoplastic bodies, and a polyhedral sweeping process …
We use the ideas of Adly-Attouch-Cabot [Adv. Mech. Math., 12, Springer, 2006] on finite-time stabilization of dry friction oscillators to establish a theorem on finite-time stabilization of differential inclusions with a moving polyhedral constraint …
This paper develops an analytic framework to design both stress-controlled and displacement-controlled $T$-periodic loadings which make the quasistatic evolution of a one-dimensional network of elastoplastic springs converging to a unique periodic …
