This paper gives a summary of basic concepts of density-functional theory (DFT) and its use in state-of-the-art computations of complex processes in condensed matter physics and materials science. In particular we discuss how microscopic…
Phase-field models of fracture introduce smeared cracks of width commensurate with a regularisation length parameter $\epsilon$ and obeying a minimum energy principle. Mesh adaptivity naturally suggests itself as a means of supplying…
In a recent paper, we introduced the concept of generalized partial-slice monogenic functions. The class of these functions includes both the theory of monogenic functions and of slice monogenic functions with values in a Clifford algebra.…
In this paper we summarize some known facts on slice topology in the quaternionic case, and we deepen some of them by proving new results and discussing some examples. We then show, following [18], how this setting allows us to generalize…
This paper is devoted to show a discrete adaptive finite element approximation result for the isotropic two-dimensional Griffith energy arising in fracture mechanics. The problem is addressed in the geometric measure theoretic framework of…
The aim of this paper is to construct a fractal with the help of a finite family of generalized F-contraction mappings, a class of mappings more general than contraction mappings, defined in the setup of b-metric space. Consequently, we…
We introduce a precise notion, in terms of few Schlessinger's type conditions, of extended deformation functors which is compatible with most of recent ideas in the Derived Deformation Theory (DDT) program and with geometric examples. With…
A continuum model of crack propagation is presented and discussed. We obtain steady state solutions with a self-consistently selected propagation velocity and shape of the crack, provided that elastodynamic and viscoelastic effects are…
Thoracic trauma often results in rib fractures, which demand swift and accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. However, detecting these fractures on rib CT scans poses considerable challenges, involving the analysis of many image slices…
In the paper, we introduce the generalized convex function on fractal sets of real line numbers and study the properties of the generalized convex function. Based on these properties, we establish the generalized Jensen inequality and…
We consider the concept of fractons, i.e. particles or quasiparticles which obey specific fractal distribution function and for each universal class h of particles we obtain a fractal-deformed Heisenberg algebra. This one takes into account…
We obtain a cohesive fracture model as a $\Gamma$-limit of scalar damage models in which the elastic coefficient is computed from the damage variable $v$ through a function $f_k$ of the form $f_k(v)=min\{1,\varepsilon_k^{1/2} f(v)\}$, with…
The aim of this work is to define a continuous functional calculus in quaternionic Hilbert spaces, starting from basic issues regarding the notion of spherical spectrum of a normal operator. As properties of the spherical spectrum suggest,…
This work looks at the theory of octonionic slice regular functions through the lens of differential topology. It proves a full-fledged version of the Open Mapping Theorem for octonionic slice regular functions. Moreover, it opens the path…
This study addresses ductile fracture of single grains in metals by modeling of the formation and propagation of transgranular cracks. A proposed model integrates gradient extended hardening, phase-field modeling for fracture, and crystal…
Deformable fractured porous media appear in many geoscience applications. While the extended finite element (XFEM) has been successfully developed within the computational mechanics community for accurate modeling of the deformation, its…
While crack nucleation and propagation in the brittle or quasi-brittle regime can be predicted via variational or material-force-based phase field fracture models, these models often assume that the underlying elastic response of the…
We introduce "fractalization", a procedure by which spin models are extended to higher-dimensional "fractal" spin models. This allows us to interpret type-II fracton phases, fractal symmetry-protected topological phases, and more, in terms…
We introduce the fractal expansions, sequences of integers associated to a number. We show that these sequences characterize the O-sequences and encode some information on lex segment ideals. Moreover, we introduce a numerical functions…
For self-similar fractals, the Minkowski content and fractal curvature have been introduced as a suitable limit of the geometric characteristics of its parallel sets, i.e., of uniformly thin coatings of the fractal. For some self-conformal…
