We derive continuum limits of atomistic models in the realm of nonlinear elasticity theory rigorously as the interatomic distances tend to zero. In particular we obtain an integral functional acting on the deformation gradient in the continuum theory which depends on the underlying atomistic interaction potentials and the lattice geometry. The interaction potentials to which our theory applies are general finite range models on multilattices which in particular can also account for multi-pole interactions and bond-angle dependent contributions. Furthermore, we discuss the applicability of the Cauchy-Born rule. Our class of limiting energy densities consists of general quasiconvex functions and the class of linearized limiting energies consistent with the Cauchy-Born rule consists of general quadratic forms not restricted by the Cauchy relations.

Intrinsic nonlinear elasticity deals with the deformations of elastic bodies as isometric immersions of Riemannian manifolds into the Euclidean spaces (see Ciarlet [9,10]). In this paper, we study the rigidity and continuity properties of elastic bod ies for the intrinsic approach to nonlinear elasticity. We first establish a geometric rigidity estimate for mappings from a Riemannian manifold to a sphere (in the spirit of Friesecke--James--M{u}ller [20]), which is the first result of this type for the non-Euclidean case as far as we know. Then we prove the asymptotic rigidity of elastic membranes under suitable geometric conditions. Finally, we provide a simplified geometric proof of the continuous dependence of deformations of elastic bodies on the Cauchy--Green tensors and second fundamental forms, which extends the Ciarlet--Mardare theorem in [17] to arbitrary dimensions and co-dimensions.
We show how many classes of partial differential systems with local and nonlocal nonlinearities are linearisable. By this we mean that solutions can be generated by solving a corresponding linear partial differential system together with a linear Fre dholm integral equation. The flows of such nonlinear systems are examples of linear flows on Fredholm Stiefel manifolds that can be projected onto Fredholm Grassmann manifolds or of further projections onto natural subspaces thereof. Detailed expositions of such flows are provided for the Korteweg de Vries and nonlinear Schrodinger equations, as well as Smoluchowskis coagulation and related equations in the constant frequency kernel case. We then consider Smoluchowskis equation in the additive and multiplicative frequency kernel cases which correspond to the inviscid Burgers equation. The solution flow in these cases prompts us to introduce a new class of flows we call ``graph flows. These generalise flows on a Grassmann manifold from sets of graphs of linear maps to sets of graphs of nonlinear maps. We include a detailed discussion of directions in which these flows can be generalised to include many other partial differential systems with local and nonlocal nonlinearities.
We show existence of solutions for the equations of static atomistic nonlinear elasticity theory on a bounded domain with prescribed boundary values. We also show their convergence to the solutions of continuum nonlinear elasticity theory, with energ y density given by the Cauchy-Born rule, as the interatomic distances tend to zero. These results hold for small data close to a stable lattice for general finite range interaction potentials. We also discuss the notion of stability in detail.
We study the inverse electrostatic and elasticity problems associated with Poisson and Navier equations. The uniqueness of solutions of these problems is proved for piecewise constant electric charge and internal stress distributions having a checker ed structure: they are constant on rectangular blocks. Such distributions appear naturally in practical applications. We also discuss computational challenges arising in the numerical implementation of our method.
The goal of these lecture notes is to present in a unified way various models for the dynamics of aligning self-propelled rigid bodies at different scales and the links between them. The models and methods are inspired from [12,13], but, in addition, we introduce a new model and apply on it the same methods. While the new model has its own interest, our aim is also to emphasize the methods by demonstrating their adaptability and by presenting them in a unified and simplified way. Furthermore, from the various microscopic models we derive the same macroscopic model, which is a good indicator of its universality.
