چکیده

The effect of the anisotropy on the elastoplastic response of two dimensional packed samples of polygons is investigated here, using molecular dynamics simulation. We show a correlation between fabric coefficients, characterizing the anisotropy of the granular skeleton, and the anisotropy of the elastic response. We also study the anisotropy induced by shearing on the subnetwork of the sliding contacts. This anisotropy provides an explanation to some features of the plastic deformation of granular media.

In this work we study an anisotropic model of general relativity based on the framework of Finsler geometry. The observed anisotropy of the microwave background radiation [8] is incorporated in the Finslerian structure of space-time. We also examine the electromagnetic (e.m.) field equations in our space. As a result a modified wave equation of e.m. waves yields.

Using ODE techniques we prove the existence of large classes of initial data satisfying the constraints for the spherically symmetric EinsteinVlasov-Maxwell system. These include data for which the ratio of total charge to total mass is arbitrarily large.

We investigate the spreading of 4 He droplets on alkali surfaces at zero temperature, within the frame of Finite Range Density Functional theory. The equilibrium configurations of several 4 He N clusters and their asymptotic trend with increasing particle number N , which can be traced to the wetting behavior of the quantum fluid, are examined for nanoscopic droplets. We discuss the size effect...
