The Dirichlet problem for the plane elasticity problem on a convex polygonal domain is considered and it is proved that for data in L the H regularity estimate holds with constants independent of the Lamé coefficients.

This paper develops the Latent Symmetric Elasticity Structure (LSES), a market share price elasticity model which allows elasticities to be decomposed into two components: a symmetric substitution index revealing the strength of competition between brand pairs, and a brand-specific coefficient revealing the overall impact of a brand on its competitors. An application of the model to unconstrain...

This paper is concerned with the solvability and uniform stability of a hyperbolic equation with spatially varying coefficients of viscosity and elasticity and boundary damping.

The Dirichlet problem for the plane elasticity problem on a convex polygonal domain is considered and it is proved that for data in L the H regularity estimate holds with constants independent of the Lamé coefficients.

We analyze the comparative static effects of beneficial changes in the dependence structure between risks. In a quasi-linear decision model with an endogenous risk and a dependent background risk, a mean-variance decision maker will choose a lower level of risky activities upon an increase in the coefficient of correlation of the risks if, and only if, the elasticity of risk aversion is larger ...

In this work, we propose an efficient matrix decomposition algorithm for the Method of Fundamental Solutions when applied to three–dimensional boundary value problems governed by elliptic systems of partial differential equations. In particular, we consider problems arising in linear elasticity in axisymmetric domains. The proposed algorithm exploits the block circulant structure of the coeffic...

The elasticity and viscosity of the human erythrocyte membrane were measured as a function of the concentration of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) in a suspending solution containing 1 mg/ml albumin, approximately 5 X 10(5) cells/ml and between 0.0 and 0.2 microgram/ml WGA. Membrane elasticity was characterized by the elastic shear modulus, which provided a measure of the resistance of the membrane...

UNLABELLED Studying biomechanical properties of the fibrous tunic of the eye meets current clinical demands. Previous studies have proved bidirectional corneal applanation suitable for this purpose. The so called corneal elasticity coefficient is more informative in terms of corneal elastance than the two other parameters measured during bidirectional corneal applanation, namely, corneal resist...

The generalized dynamical theory of thermo-elasticity proposed by Green and Lindsay is applied to study the propagation of harmonically time-dependent thermo-viscoelastic plane waves of assigned frequency in an infinite visco-elastic solid of Kelvin-Voigt type, when the entire medium rotates with a uniform angular velocity. A more general dispersion equation is deduced to determine the effects ...
