Application of a magnetic field offers an incisive opportunity to tune competing interactions in complex materials. Here we probe field-induced changes in the local structure of DyMn2O5 by using magnetoinfrared spectroscopy. The high tunability of the dielectric constant and ferroelectric polarization with field is well documented in the literature, but the lattice response on the microscopic l...

— Under some reasonable smoothness assumpfions on the displacements, we are able to dérive an error estimate of the form ||a — <7h||L2{fl)^ Ch, for the approximation of the stress field a in some problems in elasto-plasticity. Using the same ideas, we als o find a piecewise line ar approximation of Mosolov's problem, for which we still get an 0 (h) error estimate.

A model of fractional-order of thermoelasticity is applied to study a 2D problem of mode-I crack in a fibre-reinforced thermal environment. The crack is under prescribed distributions of heat and pressure. The normal mode analysis is applied to deduce exact formulae for displacements, stresses, and temperature. Variations of field quantities with the axial direction are illustrated graphically....

This paper examines the generation and propagation of a Third order solitary water wave along the channel. First the Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) numerical method is described and the boundary condition handling method is presented. The numerical model is then used to simulate solitary wave propagation along the fixed depth channel. The numerical results are compared wi...

The recovery type error estimators introduced by Zienkiewicz and Zhu use a recovered stress field evaluated from the Finite Element (FE) solution. Their accuracy depends on the quality of the recovered field. In this sense, accurate results are obtained using recovery procedures based on the Superconvergent Patch Recovery technique (SPR). These error estimators can be easily implemented and pro...
