A matroid M is unbreakable if it is connected and M/F is connected for every flat F of M . Oxley and Pfeil characterized the unbreakable graphic matroids, and Fife, Mayhew, Oxley, and Semple characterized the graphs underlying 3-connected…
We characterise the following property by six obstructions: given a graphic matroid $M$ and a set $X$ of its elements, when is $M$ the cycle matroid of a graph $G$ such that $X$ is a connected edge set in $G$?
We present stable mixed finite elements for planar linear elasticity on general quadrilateral meshes. The symmetry of the stress tensor is imposed weakly and so there are three primary variables, the stress tensor, the displacement vector…
We introduce and study a natural variant of matroid amalgams. For matroids M(A) and N(B) such that M/(A-B)=N(B-A), we define a splice of M and N to be a matroid L on the union of A and B with L(B-A)=M and L/(A-B)=N. We show that splices…
The properties of crystals consisting of several components can be widely tuned. Often solid solutions are produced, where substitutional or interstitional disorder determines the crystal thermodynamic and mechanical properties. The…
A {\em connectivity function on} a set $E$ is a function $\lambda:2^E\rightarrow \mathbb R$ such that $\lambda(\emptyset)=0$, that $\lambda(X)=\lambda(E-X)$ for all $X\subseteq E$ and that $\lambda(X\cap Y)+\lambda(X\cup Y)\leq…
For a matroid $M$ having $m$ rank-one flats, the density $d(M)$ is $\tfrac{m}{r(M)}$ unless $m = 0$, in which case $d(M)= 0$. A matroid is density-critical if all of its proper minors of non-zero rank have lower density. By a 1965 theorem…
A novel class of electro-magneto-elastic (EME) materials comprise electro-active and magneto-active particles in the polymer matrix that change their elastic behavior with an applied electromagnetic field. The material response for such a…
The description of the behavior of a material subjected to multi-physics loadings requires the formulation of constitutive laws that usually derive from Gibbs free energies, using invariant quantities depending on the considered physics and…
Two classes of non-linear elastic materials are derived via two-dimensional homogenization. These materials are equivalent to a periodic grid of axially-deformable and axially-preloaded structural elements, subject to incremental…
An elastic anomaly, observed in the heavy Fermi liquid state of Ce alloys (for example, CeCu_6 and CeTe), is analyzed by using the infinite-U Anderson lattice model. Four atomic energy levels are assumed for f-electrons. Two of them are…
This paper focuses on the homogenization of high-contrast dielectric elastomer composites, materials that deform in response to electrical stimulation. The considered heterogeneous material consisting of an ambient material with inserted…
An anisotropic elastic material is referred to as exotic when, under specific loadings, its mechanical response exhibits a higher degree of symmetry than that prescribed by its intrinsic material symmetry. Such materials, which may be…
Let $\mathcal{O}$ be an order in a central simple algebra $A$ over a number field. The elasticitity $\rho(\mathcal{O})$ is the supremum of all fractions $k/l$ such that there exists an non-zero-divisor $a \in \mathcal{O}$ that has…
If a biconnected graph stays connected after the removal of an arbitrary vertex and an arbitrary edge, then it is called 2.5-connected. We prove that every biconnected graph has a canonical decomposition into 2.5-connected components. These…
Refractory high entropy alloys containing elements from the Ti, V and Cr columns of the periodic table form body centered cubic (BCC) structures. Elements from the Ti column are noteworthy because they take the BCC structure at high…
A super-minimally $k$-connected matroid is a $k$-connected matroid having no proper $k$-connected restriction of size at least $2k-2$. This extends the corresponding concept for graphs. For $k=2$ and $k=3$, we determine the maximum size of…
In this paper, we give a complete characterization of binary matroids with no $P_9$-minor. A 3-connected binary matroid $M$ has no $P_9$-minor if and only if $M$ is one of the internally 4-connected non-regular minors of a special…
We analyse the effect of thermal fluctuations on the elastic constants of the decoupled lamellar phase of tethered, crystalline membranes. Using a momentum-shell renormalization group technique, we show that the smectic-A -like…
The elasticity of an atomic integral domain is, in some sense, a measure of how far the domain is from being a unique factorization domain (or, more properly, a half-factorial domain). We consider the relationship between the elasticity of…
