Dynamics of surface dipole and tripole solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media with optical lattice field

We find the existence conditions for stationary dipole and tripole surface solitons formed at the interface of a nonlocal nonlinear medium and a lattice with linearly modulated frequency. We investigate how the degree of nonlocality, the depth, and the modulation frequency of the optical lattice field affect on the existence of the surface solitons and their dynamics. The relationship between the power and the model parameters is identified. The stability of the surface dipole and tripole solitons is numerically investigated.     

New mixed finite elements for plane elasticity and Stokes equations

We consider mixed finite elements for the plane elasticity system and the Stokes equation. For the unmodified Hellinger-Reissner formulation of elasticity in which the stress and displacement fields are the primary unknowns, we derive two new nonconforming mixed finite elements of triangle type. Both elements use piecewise rigid motions to approximate the displacement and piecewise polynomial functions to approximate the stress, where no vertex degrees of freedom are involved. The two stress finite element ...     

CHEMICAL STRUCTURE DEPENDENCE OF THE INTERNAL ENERGY CONTRIBUTION IN RUBBER ELASTICITY

Conformational elasticity theory recently developed has been used to explore the internal energy contribution tothe elastic force f_e/f as a function of strain for poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) and poly(trans-1, 4-isoprene). Calculated f_e/f values arein good agreement with those obtained experimentally. Results show that behavior of f_e/f is mainly contributed by chemicalstructure, or intramolecular interaction, supporting the experimental observations, and that the internal energy contribution isstrain dependent.     

Exact Equilibrium Solutions for Linearly Elastic Plate-Like Bodies

A three-dimensional, explicit and exact, equilibrium solution is derived for transversely isotropic, linearly elastic bodies in the form of a right cylinder simply supported over its lateral boundary and loaded over its end faces. This solution, which generalizes an earlier proposal of Levinson in various respects, is to serve as a benchmark for the corresponding plate theories. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The shear wave diffraction on tunnel cavities in an elastic layer and a half-layer

Summary  The antiplane steady dynamic problem of the theory of elasticity for an isotropic layer and a half-layer weakened by tunnel cavities of arbitrary cross section is investigated. A radiating monochromatic shear wave (SH-wave) is considered as loading. Using the constructed Green's functions for a layer and a half- layer, the corresponding boundary problems are reduced to the Fredholm's integral equations of the second kind. The obtained algorithm is realized numerically by the quadrature method. Results specifying the influence of the openings configuration, their number and relative position, types of edge conditions and inertia effects on tangential stress concentration are given.

力调制显微术在台阶边缘附近的边界效应

力调制显微术被用于观测铜基碳化硅样品，实验中发现在样品表面台阶边缘处出现一些异常信息。为此，文章作者通过测试一种表面同样有台阶但却是由同一种材料组成的样品来通信验证这些异常主要是由台阶的边界引起的，并对引起的异常作了半定量的估算。     

A comment on “Returns to scale and scale elasticity in data envelopment analysis”

Fukuyama [Fukuyama, H., 2000. Returns to scale and scale elasticity in data envelopment analysis. European Journal of Operational Research 125, 93–112] provided some characterizations of scale elasticity and returns to scale in DEA. In this paper, we present some counterexamples and comments to the main lemma of the afore-mentioned paper, based on which Fukuyama’s idea has been built.     

Wave reflection in slightly compressible, finitely deformed elastic media

Summary  In this paper, the reflection of a plane wave at an incrementally traction-free boundary of a half-space composed of nearly incompressible elastic material is considered. It is shown that two distinct cases exist, these being dependent on the underlying primary deformation. In the first case, the appropriate slowness sections are each approximately elliptical, and the corresponding reflection phenomena closely mirrors that associated with the corresponding linear isotropic theory. Specifically, an angular range of direction of incident wave exists, for which both a quasi-longitudinal and quasi-shear wave are reflected, the former being replaced by a surface wave outside this angular range. In the second case, the outer slowness section is re-enrant and, in addition to the scenarios previously mentioned, it is possible for two quasi-shear waves to be reflected. Numerical illustrations of reflection coefficients are presented in respect of a modified Varga material and the case of increasing bulk modulus is investigated.
