Despite of some progresses in investigating the roles of the higher-order strain gradients on elastic stabilities of solids, the physical nature on the higher-order elastic instabilities of crystals, especially under extreme strain rates,…
The paper gathers and unifies mechanical stability conditions for all symmetry classes of 3D and 2D materials under arbitrary load. The methodology is based on the spectral decomposition of the fourth-order stiffness tensors mapped to…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the internal stability of formations whose dynamics are obtained is determined by linear differential equations.
A class of generalized definitions of expectation value is often employed in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics for complex systems. Here, the necessary and sufficient condition is presented for such a class to be stable under small…
What characterises a solid is its way to respond to external stresses. Ordered solids, such crystals, display an elastic regime followed by a plastic one, both well understood microscopically in terms of lattice distortion and dislocations.…
Classical conditions for ensuring the robust stability of a linear system in feedback with a sector-bounded nonlinearity include small gain, circle, passivity, and conicity theorems. In this work, we present a similar stability condition,…
We develop a general stability analysis for objective structures, which constitute a far reaching generalization of crystal lattice systems. We show that these particle systems, although in general neither periodic nor space filling, allow…
A controversy exists among literature reports of constraints on elastic constants. In particular, it has been reported that embedded atom method (EAM) potentials generally impose three constraints on elastic constants of crystals that are…
We present a streamlined account of recent developments in the stability theory for planar viscous shock waves, with an emphasis on applications to physical models with ``real,'' or partial viscosity. The main result is the establishment of…
In complex crystals close to melting or at finite temperatures, different types of defects are ubiquitous and their role becomes relevant in the mechanical response of these solids. Conventional elasticity theory fails to provide a…
Anisotropies of Young's modulus E, the shear modulus G, and Poisson's ratio of all 2D symmetry systems are studied. Simple necessary and sufficient conditions on their elastic compliances are derived to identify if any of these crystals are…
We consider nematic liquid crystals in a bounded, convex polyhedron described by a director field n(r) subject to tangent boundary conditions. We derive lower bounds for the one-constant elastic energy in terms of topological invariants.…
A comma category, exemplified in algebraic geometry by coherent systems, combines two categories over a third through morphisms between their objects. We establish sufficient conditions for it to be abelian, compute its Grothendieck group,…
Topological surface states, a new kind of electronic state of matter, have recently been observed on the cleaved surfaces of crystals of a handful of small band gap semiconductors. The underlying chemical factors that enable these states…
Classical sufficient conditions for ensuring the robust stability of a dynamical system in feedback with a nonlinearity include passivity, small gain, circle, and conicity theorems. We present a generalized version of these results for…
We apply the convection stability criterion to a fluid in global thermodynamic equilibrium with a rigid rotation or with a constant acceleration along the streamlines. Different equations of state describing strongly interacting matter are…
A continuum model of crystalline solid equilibrium is presented in which the underlying periodic lattice structure is taken explicitly into account. This model also allows for both point and line defects in the bulk of the lattice and at…
We classify the stability of flat-core $p$-elasticae in $\mathbf{R}^d$ subject to the pinned boundary condition. Together with previous work, this completes the classification of stable pinned $p$-elasticae in $\mathbf{R}^d$ for all…
Charged colloidal crystals exhibit a subtle interplay between electrostatic screening and elastic deformation. In an anisotropic elastic medium the coupling between dilation and the local ionic environment becomes direction dependent,…
It is argued that the prevailing definition of quasicrystals, requiring them to contain an axis of symmetry that is forbidden in periodic crystals, is inadequate. This definition is too restrictive in that it excludes an important and…
