Effective elastic properties of a defected solid with distributed cohesive micro-cracks are estimated based on homogenization of the Dugdale–Bilby–Cottrell–Swinden (Dugdale–BCS) type micro-cracks in a two dimensional elastic representative volume element (RVE). Since the cohesive micro-crack model mimics various realistic bond forces at micro-scale, a statistical average of cohesive defects can...

We investigate quasi-explicit time-integration schemes for solving dynamic fracture problems with set-valued cohesive zone models. These schemes combine a central difference time-integration scheme and a partially implicit and lumped treatment of the cohesive forces. At each time step, the displacements of the nodes in the interior of the domain are computed in an explicit way, while the displa...

‎‎The tensor product is the fundemental ingredient for extending one-dimensional techniques of filtering and compression in signal preprocessing to higher dimensions‎. ‎Woven frames play ‎ a crucial role in signal preprocessing and distributed data processing‎. Motivated by these facts, we have investigated the tensor product of woven frames and presented some of their properties. Besides...

PhiRSA1 is a wide-host-range bacteriophage isolated from Ralstonia solanacearum. In this study, the complete nucleotide sequence of the phiRSA1 genomic DNA was determined. The genome was 38,760 bp of double-stranded DNA (65.3% G+C) with 19-bp 5'-extruding cohesive ends (cos) and contained 51 open reading frames (ORFs). Two-thirds of the phiRSA1 genomic region encodes the phage structural module...

We focus on the discovery of interesting patterns in dynamic attributed graphs. To this end, we define the novel problem of mining cohesive co-evolution patterns. Briefly speaking, cohesive co-evolution patterns are tri-sets of vertices, timestamps, and signed attributes that describe the local co-evolutions of similar vertices at several timestamps according to set of signed attributes that ex...

In this work, a novel multiscale cohesive zone model is proposed, in which the bulk material is modeled as a local quasi-continuum medium that obeys the Cauchy–Born rule while the cohesive force and displacement relations inside the cohesive zone are governed by a coarse grained depletion potential. The interface depletion potential is constructed based on the Derjaguin approximation of nonloca...

In this work, we developed a bond-based cohesive peridynamics model (CPDM) and apply it to simulate inelastic fracture by using the meso-scale Xu-Needleman potential . By doing so, have successfully continuum mechanics with intrinsic stress/strain measures as well consistent built-in macro-scale constitutive relations. The main novelties of work are: (1) We shown that stress proposed nonlocal i...
