A conducting two-dimensional periodic composite of two anisotropic phases with anisotropic, not necessarily symmetric, conductivity tensors is considered. By finding approximate representations for the relevant operators, an approximation…
The elastic properties of a material with spherical voids of equal volume are analysed using a new model, with particular attention paid to the hexagonal close-packed and the face-centred cubic arrangement of voids. Void fractions well…
Self-assembly kinetics is usually described by approaches which assume that the shape of the aggregates has a definite form (e.g., spherical, cylindrical, cubic, etc), however that is unlikely to be the case in many finite-sized…
An asymptotic theory is developed to generate equations that model the global behaviour of electromagnetic waves in periodic photonic structures when the wavelength is not necessarily long relative to the periodic cell dimensions;…
The dynamical response theory is used to obtain an analytical expression for the exchange energy of a quantum wire for arbitrary polarization and width. It reproduces the known form of exchange energy for 1D electron gas in the limit of…
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…
The nonlinear coefficient {\gamma} of the step-index single-mode fiber (SMF) is inversely proportional to the effective area of that fiber. An analytical expression for the effective area of the hybrid HE11-mode of the SMF is derived for…
Density-functional theory is a formally exact description of a many-body quantum system in terms of its density; in practice, however, approximations to the universal density functional are required. In this work, a model based on deep…
For expansions in one-dimensional conformal blocks, we provide a rigorous link between the asymptotics of the spectral density of exchanged primaries and the leading singularity in the crossed channel. Our result has a direct application to…
The mechanical behavior of closed-cell foams in compression is analyzed by means of the finite element simulation of a representative volume element of the microstructure. The digital model of the foam includes the most relevant details of…
We review the physical properties of macromolecular networks, consisting of semiflexible polymers such as actin. We start by giving a theoretical analysis of the conformational statistics and mechanical response of single filaments.…
This paper deals with the vibration analysis of an asymmetric composite beam composed of glass a piezoelectric material. The Bernoulli's beam theory is adopted for mechanical deformations, and the electric potential field of the…
The subject of this paper is the study of the asymptotic behaviour of the equilibrium configurations of a nonlinearly elastic thin rod, as the diameter of the cross-section tends to zero. Convergence results are established assuming…
The aim of this article is to prove a Thom-Sebastiani theorem for the asymptotics of the fiber-integrals. This means that we describe the asymptotics of the fiber-integrals of the function $f \oplus g : (x,y) \to f(x) + g(y)$ \ on…
The screened Coulomb potential plays a crucial role in the binding energies of excitons in a thin dielectric slab. The asymptotic behavior of this potential is studied when the thickness of the slab is very small as compared to the exciton…
A characterization of the focused space-time structures of radially chirped beams is provided, detailing different tunable properties such as: variable on-axis centroid velocity, symmetric pulse front tilt, transverse intensity modulations,…
Recently, the authors have proposed a novel all-angle beam contact (ABC) formulation that combines the advantages of existing point and line contact models in a variationally consistent manner. However, the ABC formulation has so far only…
An analytical model describing the action of a rigid beam under shear forces to the quasi-crystalline half-space is analyzed. The elasticity theory of quasicrystals and the method of complex variables is used. Graphs of stresses and…
Fibre-reinforced elastomers are lightweight and strong materials that can sustain large deformations. When filled with magnetic particles, their effective mechanical response can be modified by an external magnetic field. In the present…
A microscopic theory of the free energy barriers and folding routes for minimally frustrated proteins is presented, greatly expanding on the presentation of the variational approach outlined previously [J. J. Portman, S. Takada, P. G.…
