نویسنده
چکیده
The influence of the material texture (substructure) on the force driving the crack tip in complex materials admitting Ginzburg-Landau-like energies is analyzed in a three-dimensional continuum setting. The theory proposed accounts for finite deformations and general coarse-grained order parameters. A modified expression of the J-integral is obtained together with other path-integrals which are necessary to treat cases where the process zone around the tip has finite size. The results can be applied to a wide class of material substructures. As examples, cracks in ferroelectrics and in materials with strain-gradient effects are discussed: in these cases the specializations of the general results fit reasonably experimental data.

The pressure for the Imperfect (Mean Field) Boson gas can be derived in several ways. The aim of the present letter is to provide a new method based on the Approximating Hamiltonian argument which is extremely simple and very general.

Given a finite or infinite planar graph all of whose faces have degree 4, we study embeddings in the plane in which all edges have length 1, that is, in which every face is a rhombus. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such an embedding, as well as a description of the set of all such embeddings.

The 3x + 1 semigroup is the multiplicative semigroup S of positive rational numbers generated by { 2k+1 3k+2 : k ≥ 0} together with {2}. This semigroup encodes backwards iteration under the 3x + 1 map, and the 3x + 1 conjecture implies that it contains every positive integer. This semigroup is proved to be the set of positive rationals a b in lowest terms with b 6≡ 0( mod 3), and so contains al...
