Convergence of Numerical Approximations to a Phase Field Bending Elasticity Model of Membrane Deformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study numerical approximations of a recently proposed phase field model for the vesicle membrane deformations governed by the variation of the elastic bending energy. Both the spatial discretization for the equilibrium problem with given volume and surface area constraints and the time discretization of a dynamic problem via gradient flow are considered. Convergence results of the numerical approximations are proved.

Adaptive Finite Element Method for a Phase Field Bending Elasticity Model of Vesicle Membrane Deformations
In this paper, a three-dimensional adaptive finite element method is developed for a variational phase field bending elasticity model of vesicle membrane deformations. Using a mixed finite element formulation, residual type a posteriori error estimates are derived for the associated nonlinear system of equations and, they are used to introduce the mesh refinement and coarsening. The resulting m...

In this study, the elastic bending of sector graphene sheet has been studied based on elasticity using Eringen Nonlocal Elasticity Theory.

متن کاملThe Hamiltonian Structure of Nonlinear Elasticity: The Material and Convective Representations of Solids, Rods, and Plates
It is our belief that a thorough understanding of the mathematical underpinnings of elasticity is crucial to its analytical and numerical implementation. For example, in the analysis of rotating structures, the coupling of the equations for geometrically inexact models, obtained by linearization or other approximations, with those for rotating rigid bodies can easily lead to misleading artifici...
متن کاملA phase field approach in the numerical study of the elastic bending energy for vesicle membranes q
In this paper, we compute the equilibrium configurations of a vesicle membrane under elastic bending energy, with prescribed volume and surface area. A variational phase field method is developed for such a problem. Discrete finite difference approximations and numerical simulations are carried out in the axial symmetrical cases. Different energetic bifurcation phenomena are discussed. 2004 Els...
