报告摘要:  

We propose a rheological model for the description of aging in viscoelastic materials, by interpreting the aging process as a deterioration of the elastic response of the solid. As a result we derive a family of integro-differential equations characterized by the presence of memory kernels changing shape over time. We then present the suitable framework for the analytical study of the model, that is a new theory of processes on time-dependent spaces.

报告人简介：

Monica Conti is a Mathematician (Laurea cum laude 1993 and PhD 1998), currently full Professor of mathematical analysis at the Politecnico di Milano.

Academic career:

Researcher (1999-2010), Associate professor (2010-2017), Full (2017-). She has been first working on elliptic equations, critical point theory and optimal partition problems. More recently she moved to dissipative dynamical systems and evolution equations with special regard to the Theory of attractors for infinite-dimensional dynamical systems and Wellposedness/long-term behavior of dynamical systems generated by PDEs from Mathematical Physics (Attractors for processes on Time-dependent spaces, Mathematical models for aging viscoelastic materials, Chan-Hilliard and Caginalp phase-field systems). On these topics she authored more than 60 papers published in international peer-reviewed journals (H-index 14). In the course of the years she has been responsible of several research grants by INDAM (National Institute for high Mathematics) and MIUR (National Ministry of research).
