- **Event Description**: IAS Residential Fellow Professor Giuseppe Saccomandi delivers a seminar on their research, followed by a lunch.About this EventIAS Residential Fellow Professor Giuseppe Saccomandi delivers a seminar on their research, fully titled "Constitutive Modeling in Nonlinear Elasticity: History, Pitfalls, and Perspectives"We present a critical overview of constitutive modeling in nonlinear elasticity, with particular emphasis on isotropic incompressible materials. Starting from the historical foundations and the seminal contributions of Rivlin, the talk revisits the motivations behind invariant-based strain-energy functions and their experimental interpretation. The widespread proliferation of constitutive models is discussed in relation to several recurring pitfalls, including over-parameterization, identifiability issues, and an excessive reliance on analyticity. Special attention is devoted to Ogden-type models, whose remarkable descriptive capabilities are contrasted with their well-known limitations in predictive reliability. By reconsidering classical experimental data and multiscale arguments, alternative modeling perspectives are outlined, with the aim of clarifying the principles that should guide constitutive choices in nonlinear elasticity and their applications to soft materials, biomechanics, and wave propagation issues.Arrivals from 11:45 am for a 12:00 noon start. For those joining in-person, lunch will be served after the seminar from 1:00pm.International House can be found here on the campus map.If these in-person tickets have sold out, you can still join online by registering for the online webinar.
