The path probability of stochastic motion of non dissipative or quasi-Hamiltonian systems is investigated by numerical experiment. The simulation model generates ideal one-dimensional motion of particles subject only to conservative forces…
Plasticity is inherent to many engineering materials such as metals. While it can degrade the load-carrying capacity of structures via material yielding, it can also protect structures through plastic energy dissipation. To fully harness…
In this article we present the first results on domain decomposition methods for nonlocal operators. We present a nonlocal variational formulation for these operators and establish the well-posedness of associated boundary value problems,…
This paper focuses on vector-valued composite functionals, which may be nonlinear in probability. Our primary goal is to establish central limit theorems for these functionals when mixed estimators are employed. Our study is relevant to the…
Variational problems of splitting-type with mixed linear-superlinear growth conditions are considered. In the twodimensional case the minimizing problem is given by \[ J [w] = \int_{\Omega} \Big[f_1\big(\partial_1 w\big) +…
Nematic liquid crystals in a polyhedral domain, a prototype for bistable displays, may be described by a unit-vector field subject to tangent boundary conditions. Here we consider the case of a rectangular prism. For configurations with…
This paper is devoted to studying the first-order variational analysis of non-convex and non-differentiable functions that may not be subdifferentially regular. To achieve this goal, we entirely rely on two concepts of directional…
We propose a new approach to models of general compressible viscous fluids based on the concept of dissipative solutions. These are weak solutions satisfying the underlying equations modulo a defect measure. A dissipative solution coincides…
Noting that there is very little literature on the topic, a first analytical approach is proposed in this work for estimating the viscosity-like parameter of three-phase viscoplastic materials. In a first part, the conditions of application…
An efficient approach to the evaluation of effective elastic properties of carbon-carbon plain weave textile composites using the Mori-Tanaka method is presented. The method proves its potential even if applied to real material systems with…
A new model for elucidating the mathematical foundation of plasticity yield criteria is proposed. The proposed ansatz uses differential geometry and group theory concepts in addition to elementary hypotheses based on well-established…
The purpose of this study is to inspect the combined effect of reinforcement shape and packing on the macroscopic behaviour of particulate composites. The introduced micromechanical approach modifies the Morphologically Representative…
A composite likelihood is an inference function derived by multiplying a set of likelihood components. This approach provides a flexible framework for drawing inference when the likelihood function of a statistical model is computationally…
The current capacity of computers makes it possible to perform simulations of small systems with portable, explicit-solvent potentials achieving high degree of accuracy. However, simplified models must be employed to exploit the behaviour…
In this work, we study the effective behavior of a two-dimensional variational model within finite crystal plasticity for high-contrast bilayered composites. Precisely, we consider materials arranged into periodically alternating thin…
We report a new theory of dissipative forces acting between colliding viscoelastic bodies. The impact velocity is assumed not to be large, to avoid plastic deformations and fragmentation at the impact. The bodies may be of an arbitrary…
There is a large variety of concepts used to generalize the classical Prandtl-Reuss relations of infinitesimal elasto-plasticity to finite strains. In this work, some basic approaches are compared in a qualitative way with respect to a…
The coherent potential approximation (CPA) is extended to describe satisfactorily the motion of particles in a random potential which is spatially correlated and smoothly varying. In contrast to existing cluster-CPA methods, the present…
Applications of variational methods are typically restricted to conservative systems. Some extensions to dissipative systems have been reported too but require ad hoc techniques such as the artificial doubling of the dynamical variables.…
The gauge invariant method for calculation of the effective action of the local composite fields in QFT is proposed. The effective action of the local composite fields in QED is studied up to 2-loop level. The graph rules for the local…
