In this paper, an elastic constitutive model based on the Eulerian corotational rate of the logarithmic strain tensor is proposed. Using this model, the large deformation of a closed cycle containing tension, shear, compression and inverse shear is analyzed. Since the deformation path includes a closed cycle and the material is considered as an isotropic elastic material, the normal and shear c...

Given a montmorillonite clay at high porosity and saturated by monovalent counterions, the particle level responses of the clay to different external loadings are investigated. As analytical solutions are not possible for complex arrangements of particles, computational micromechanical models are employed (based on solution of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations) using the finite element method...

The notion of B-spline based discrete differential forms is recalled and along with a Finite Element Hodge operator, it is used to design new numerical methods for solving the Vlasov-Poisson equations. Answer’s to the referees’ questions Aurore Back and Eric Sonnendrücker April 12, 2013 We thank the referees for the careful reading of our manuscript and for many interesting comments that helped...

As analytical solutions are not possible for complex arrangements of particles, we employ computational micromechanical models (based on the solution of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations) using the finite element m...

Abstract The duality-symmetric, Maxwell-like, formulation of linearized gravity introduced by Barnett (New J Phys 16, 2014) is used to generalize the conservation laws for helicity, spin part angular momentum, and spin-flux, case gravity. These have been shown follow from property helicity array, an analog Lipkin’s zilch tensor. array constructed be conserved.

Copper films of 300 nm thickness deposited by planar magnetron sputtering on glass substrates, for substrate temperatures between 300 and 500 K, and deposition rate of 10 ?s?1. Microstructure of these films was obtained by X-ray diffraction, while the texture mode of diffractometer was used for stress measurement by the sin2? technique. The components of the stress tensor are obtained using mea...
