چکیده
phason coupling one, respectively. It is evident that the appearance of the new degree freedom yields a great challenge to the continuum mechanics. In the dynamic process of quasicrystals problem presents further complexity. According to the point of view of Lubensky et al. [2,3], phonon represents wave propagation, while phason represents diffusion in the dynamic process. Following the argument of Lubensky et al., Rochal and Lorman [4] and Fan [1,5] put forward the equations of motion of quasicrystals as follows

Rhombellanic Crystals and Quasicrystals
Design of some crystal and quasicrystal networks, based on rhombellane tiling,is presented. [1,1,1]Propellane,is a synthesized organic molecule; its hydrogenated form, the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane,may be represented by the complete bipartite graph K2,3 which is the smallest rhombellane. Topology of translational and radial structures involving rhombellanes is described in terms of vertex symbol, c...
متن کاملNon-linear hydrodynamics of incommensurate intergrowth compounds and quasicrystals
Hamiltonian structures for non-linear hydrodynamics of incommensurate intergrowth compounds (IIC) and quasicrystals (IQ) are constructed. We discuss also the way to account for internal friction of phason nature. We show that the existence of a self-force in IIC and IQ is not only matter of constitutive issues, rather it is related with questions of SO (3) invariance. The covariant mechanics of...
متن کاملA Finite Volume Formulation for the Elasto-Plastic Analysis of Rectangular Mindlin-Reissner Plates, a Non-Layered Approach
This paper extends the previous work of authors and presents a non-layered Finite Volume formulation for the elasto-plastic analysis of Mindlin-Reissner plates. The incremental algorithm of the elasto-plastic solution procedure is shown in detail. The performance of the formulation is examined by analyzing of plates with different boundary conditions and loading types. The results are illustrat...
متن کاملSoft quasicrystals – Why are they stable ?
In the last two years we have witnessed the exciting experimental discovery of soft matter with nontrivial quasiperiodic long-range order – a new form of matter termed a soft quasicrystal. Two groups have independently discovered such order in soft matter: Zeng et al. in a system of dendrimer liquid crystals; and Takano et al. in a system of ABC star-shaped polymers. These newly discovered soft...
متن کاملDiscussion of phasons in quasicrystals and their dynamics
Phasons are a type of excitation peculiar to quasicrystals and other incommensurate phases arising as a consequence of their spatial quasiperiodicity. Phason-related excitations are also observed in complex crystal structures known as approximants. This article briefly reviews the concepts of phasons with focus on current issues in their regard. We examine both continuum (hydrodynamic) and disc...
