We study well-posedness, stabilization and control problems involving freely vibrating beams that may undergo motions of large magnitude -- i.e. large displacements of the reference line and large rotations of the cross sections. Such…
A new approach to a unified theory of quantum gravity based on noncommutative geometry and canonical quantum gravity is presented. The approach is built around a *-algebra generated by local holonomy-diffeomorphisms on a 3-manifold and a…
Kinetic simulations have demonstrated that three-dimensional reconnection in collisionless regimes proceeds through the formation and interaction of magnetic flux ropes, which are generated due to the growth of tearing instabilities at…

In this paper, we propose a novel, unified, general approach to investigate sufficient and necessary conditions under which four types of convex sets, polyhedra, polyhedral cones, ellipsoids and Lorenz cones, are invariant sets for a linear…
The Euler-$\alpha$ equations model the averaged motion of an ideal incompressible fluid when filtering over spatial scales smaller than $\alpha$. We show that there exists $\beta>1$ such that weak solutions to the two and three dimensional…

This work focuses on the stability analysis of an Euler Bernoulli cantilever beam with a tip mass at the free end, subject to a follower force. This can serve as a viable model for analysis of elastic instability occurring due to…

In this work, we construct an effective continuum model for architected sheets that are composed of bulky tiles connected by slender elastic joints. Due to their mesostructure, these sheets feature quasi-mechanisms -- low-energy local…
This paper deals with the introduction of a decomposition of the deformations of curved thin beams, with section of order $\delta$, which takes into account the specific geometry of such beams. A deformation $v$ is split into an elementary…
Isomorphs are curves in the thermodynamic phase diagram of invariant excess entropy, structure, and dynamics, while pseudoisomorphs are curves of invariant structure and dynamics, but not of the excess entropy. The latter curves have been…
In this paper, we construct Hamilton-Jacobi equations for a great variety of mechanical systems (nonholonomic systems subjected to linear or affine constraints, dissipative systems subjected to external forces, time-dependent mechanical…
We propose a general method for deriving one-dimensional models for nonlinear structures. It captures the contribution to the strain energy arising not only from the macroscopic elastic strain as in classical structural models, but also…
In the literature, for semidynamical systems in infinite dimensional phase spaces, different topological structures are used (Hilbert, Banach, Sobolev, locally convex, Hausdorf topology etc.). That is because there are neither set rules nor…
