We study the effective forces acting between colloidal particles trapped at a fluid interface which itself is exposed to a pressure field. To this end, we apply what we call the "force approach," which relies solely on the condition of mechanical equilibrium and turns to be in a certain sense less restrictive than the more frequently used "energy approach," which is based on the minimization of...

Abstract Bilayer plates are compound materials that exhibit large bending deformations when exposed to environmental changes lead different mechanical responses in the involved materials. In this article a new numerical method is suitable for simulating isometric deformation induced by given material mismatch bilayer plate discussed. A dimensionally reduced formulation of energy discretized gen...

We give error estimates for the approximation of a laminated microstructure which minimizes the energy R (rv(x))dx for a rotationally invariant, double well energy density (A). We present error estimates for the convergence of the deformation in L; the convergence of directional derivatives of the deformation in the \twin planes," the weak convergence of the deformation gradient, the convergenc...

Multi-stream carrier aggregation (MSCA) has been recently proposed as a mechanism to increase the amount of bandwidth available to users for heterogeneous networks (HetNets) in 5G cellular systems. Previous studies have focused only on maximizing the network capacity and fairness, without considering the energy efficiency of the MSCA. In this paper, the use of MSCA to minimize the energy consum...

In nonrigid motion analysis, deformation fields are often modeled using splines defined on a control-point grid. Inspired by recent development of meshfree methods, we propose a novel motion model that does not use control-point grids, nor use explicit node connections. We also propose a regularizer for the deformation field and the minimization algorithm. The method has promising features such...

This work presents a method for deforming meshes in a shape-sensible way using Moving Least Squares (MLS) optimization. This work explains how an approach for deforming space [10] can be transformed into a skeleton-guided deformation scheme, where more sensitivity to the mesh geometry is achieved. Given a mesh and its skeleton, for each joint a minimization problem is solved subject to position...

In clinical applications where structural asymmetries between homologous shapes have been correlated with pathology, the questions of definition and quantification of ‘asymmetry’ arise naturally. When not only the degree but the position of deformity is thought relevant, asymmetry localization must also be addressed. Asymmetries between paired shapes have already been formulated in terms of (no...

We study theoretically the baryon spectra in terms of a deformed oscillator quark (DOQ) model. This model is motivated by confinement of quarks and chiral symmetry breaking, which are the most important non-perturbative phenomena of QCD. The minimization of the DOQ hamiltonian with respect to the deformation for each principal quantum number results in deformations for the intrinsic states of e...
