The use of drought tolerant turfgrass cultivars is desirable due to greater water efficiency and sustained acceptable quality during times stress. Crop coefficients (Kc) have traditionally been utilized assist in reducing irrigation by comparing reference evapotranspiration (ETo) actual (ETa) specific crops. However, Kc values are most relevant nonlimiting conditions do not quantify the amount ...

We explore local existence and properties of classical weak solutions to the initial-boundary value problem of a one-dimensional quasilinear equation of elastodynamics with non-convex stored-energy function, a model of phase transitions in elastic bars proposed by Ericksen [19]. The instantaneous formation of microstructures of local weak solutions is observed for all smooth initial data with i...
