Description:
Title: "Numerical Approximations of Prestrained Plates"
Abstract: "We study the elastic behaviour of prestrained plates. When actuated, the plates deform out of plane to reduce their internal stresses. The mathematical model consists of the minimization of a bending energy under the constraint that the first fundamental form of the deformed plate satisfies a given metric. In this talk, I will give a brief description of the model and the proposed numerical scheme. The performance of the later will be illustrated through several numerical experiments."
