The entropy conservative/stable algorithm of Friedrich~\etal (2018) for hyperbolic conservation laws on nonconforming p-refined/coarsened Cartesian grids, is extended to curvilinear grids for the compressible Euler equations. The primary…
In the present paper we consider convection and cracking instabilities as well as their interplay. We develop a simple criterion to identify equations of state unstable to convection, and explore the influence of buoyancy on cracking (or…
This study proposes a modification to the yield condition that addresses the mathematical constraints inherent in the Directional Distortional Hardening models developed by Feigenbaum and Dafalias. The modified model resolves both the…
We consider the question of conformal invariance of the long-range Ising model at the critical point. The continuum description is given in terms of a nonlocal field theory, and the absence of a stress tensor invalidates all of the standard…
For $n\ge2$ and $1<p<\infty$ we prove an $L^p$-version of the generalized Korn-type inequality for incompatible, $p$-integrable tensor fields $P:\Omega \to \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ having $p$-integrable generalized…
We develop an irreversible thermodynamics framework for the description of creep deformation in crystalline solids by mechanisms that involve vacancy diffusion and lattice site generation and annihilation. The material undergoing the creep…
In this study, we address damage initiation and micro-crack formation in ductile failure of polycrystalline metals. We show how our recently published thermodynamic framework for ductile phase-field fracture of single crystals can be…
In the presented research, the intergranular elastic interaction and the second-order plastic incompatibility stress in textured ferritic and austenitic steels were investigated by means of diffraction. The lattice strains were measured…
The requirement of a non-negative dissipation rate for all possible deformation histories is generally imposed on plastic constitutive relations. This is a constraint analogous to the Coleman-Noll [1] postulate that the Clausius-Duhem…
A classical problem in elasticity theory involves an inhomogeneity embedded in a material of given stress and shear moduli. The inhomogeneity is a region of arbitrary shape whose stress and shear moduli differ from those of the surrounding…
In this paper, we study the preferential stiffness and the crack-tip fields for an elastic porous solid of which material properties are dependent upon the density. Such a description is necessary to describe the failure that can be caused…
In this paper, we develop a non-singular continuum theory of point defects based on a second strain gradient elasticity theory, the so-called gradient elasticity of bi-Helmholtz type. Such a generalized continuum theory possesses a weak…
We consider a one-dimensional system of four inelastic hard spheres, colliding with a fixed restitution coefficient $r$, and we study the inelastic collapse phenomenon for such a particle system. We study a periodic, asymmetric collision…
We present a higher dimensional, scale-invariant version of a classical theorem of F. and M. Riesz. More precisely, we establish scale invariant absolute continuity of harmonic measure with respect to surface measure, along with higher…
In this paper it is demonstrated that only by accounting for the combined effects of anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry both at single crystal and polycrystal levels, it is possible to explain and accurately predict the…
Plastic deformation in polycrystals is governed by the interplay between intra-granular slip and grain boundary-mediated plasticity. However, while the role played by bulk dislocations is relatively well-understood, the contribution of…
We introduce a natural definition of $L^p$-convergence of maps, $p \ge 1$, in the case where the domain is a convergent sequence of measured metric space with respect to the measured Gromov-Hausdorff topology and the target is a…
Intergranular normal stresses (INS) are critical in the initiation and evolution of grain boundary damage in polycrystalline materials. To model the effects of such microstructural damage on a macroscopic scale, knowledge of INS is usually…
In this paper, we establish gradient bounds for $p(\cdot)$-harmonic differential forms subject to a Coulomb-type gauge condition. For variable exponents satisfying the log-H\"older continuity assumption, we derive higher integrability…
We study a $p$-spin model with ferromagnetic coupling and quenched random-crystal fields for $p \ge 3$ for spin-1 systems. We find that the model has lines of first order transitions at finite temperature $(T)$ for all $p \ge 3$. For…
