Navigating a Changing Continuum of Care With Heart

A simple closed curve is the simplest example of a compact, nondegenerate, homogeneous continuum. If a bounded, nondegenerate, homogeneous plane continuum has any local connectedness property, even of the weakest sort, it is known to be a simple closed curve [l, 2, 3].1 The recent discovery of a bounded, nondegenerate, homogenous plane continuum which does not separate the plane [4, 5] has give...

In the present study, small scale effect on critical buckling loads of triangular nano- composite plates under uniform in-plane compression is studied. Since at nano-scale the structure of the plate is discrete, the size dependent nonlocal elasticity theory is employed to develop an equivalent continuum plate model for this nanostructure incorporating the changes in its mechanical behavior. The...

The basic continuum model for polar fluids is deceptively simple. free energy integral consists of four terms: coupling polarization to an external field, the electrostatic induced electric field interacting with itself and stored quadratic in polarization. A local function density accounts mechanical state fluid. Viewed as a non-equilibrium functional number polarization, minimization these tw...

Contact mechanics is related to the deformation study of solids that meet each other at one or more points. The physical and mathematical formulation of the problem is established upon the mechanics of materials and continuum mechanics and focuses on computations involving bodies with different characteristics in static or dynamic contact. Contact mechanics gives essential information for the s...
