The paper shows that spectral wave propagation analysis reveals in a simple and clear manner the effectiveness of various regularization techniques for softening materials, i.e., materials for which the yield limits soften as a function of the total strain. Both plasticity and damage models are considered. It is verified analytically in a simple way that the nonlocal integral-type model with de...

On the local systems hamiltonian in the weakly nonlocal Poisson brackets. Abstract We consider nonlocal field-theoretical Poisson brackets containing the operator of integration in the nonlocal part. The main attention is given to the nonlocal brackets of Hydrodynamic Type for which we introduce the Physical and Canonical forms. We use the Canonical form of these brackets for the investigation ...

We derive nonlocal coupled-mode equations for a Bragg grating embedded in a medium with nonlocal nonlinearity. Using these equations, we study the oscillatory instability of nonlocal Bragg solitary waves and demonstrate that collisions between them result in fusion into a standing pulse or breather , possibly with generation of additional jets, in a broad range of parameters. The results are ex...

A large class of nonlocal equations and nonlocal charges for the Harry Dym hierarchy is exhibited. They are obtained from nonlocal Casimirs associated with its bi-Hamiltonian structure. The Lax representation for some of these equations is also given.

The titled problem of coupled thermoelasticity for porous structure has been solved with an instantaneous heat source acting on a plane area in an unbounded medium. The basic equations of thermoelasticity, after being converted into a one-dimensional form, have been written in the form of a vector-matrix differential equation and solved by the eigenvalue approach for the field variables in the ...

The interrelations between weight-function upscaling (measurement) and the definition of various nonlocal operators is explored. Let < f > = f∗g where f∗g is the convolution product which represents the effect of upscaling via an instrument (defined by g) on a field variable f and its localized counterpart. Nonlocal field variables are defined and employed for upscaling. In this talk it will be...
