Geometric lattice actions, entropy and fundamental groups

Let be a lattice in a noncompact simple Lie Group G, where . Suppose acts analytically and ergodically on a compact manifold M preserving a unimodular rigid geometric structure (e.g. a connection and a volume). We show that either the action is isometric or there exists a "large image" linear representation of . Under an additional assumption on the dynamics of the action, we associate to a virtual arithmetic quotient of full entropy. Received: December 14, 2000

Steady light diffusion application to rheology: a new tool for the characterization of concentrated suspensions

We present new developments of steady light diffusion applied to rheology. Though many techniques allow the structural investigation of diluted or transparent media, very few give direct information on optically dense systems. The technique proposed here is based on the diffusion approximation and is thus valid for sheared, time-dependent flows.After recalling important theoretical results, we show the techniques ability to determine typical sizes and orientation of structures in shear flows for various concentrated suspensions (emulsions, and an industrial softener). In particular, it is able to demonstrate the effect of shear on the orientation of anisotropic objects. Moreover, the use of simple structural models incorporating the measured anisotropy allows good predictions of experimental rheological measurements. This new technique, applicable to a wide range of colloidal systems, is very helpful to characterize the shear induced structural organization of optically dense materials.This paper was presented at the first Annual European Rheology Conference (AERC) held in Guimarães, Portugal, September 11-13, 2003.

Periodic orbits around the collinear libration points in the restricted three body problem when the smaller primary is a triaxial rigid body and bigger primary is a source of radiation pressure

Periodic orbits belonging to the stromgren families A, B and C around the collinear libration points in the restricted three body problem have been studied when the smaller primary is a triaxial rigid body and more massive body is a source of radiation pressure. These families are determined in three different cases: (i) classical case, (ii) when bigger primary is a source of radiation pressure, (iii) when smaller primary is a triaxial rigid body and bigger primary is a source of radiation pressure. The Liapunov stability of each periodic solution has also been examined.      

Existence results for dynamic adhesive contact of a rod

The existence and uniqueness of the weak solution to the model for the dynamics of a viscoelastic rod which is in adhesive contact with an obstacle is established. The model consists of a hyperbolic equation for the vibrations of the rod coupled with a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) for the evolution of the bonding function. The model allows for failure, i.e., complete debonding, in finite time. The existence of the weak solution is established by using an existence result for ODEs and the Schauder fixed-point theorem. The limit of an elastic rod when the viscosity vanishes is studied, too.     

Divisible rigid groups

A soluble group G is rigid if it contains a normal series of the form G = G₁ > G₂ > … > G_p > G_p+1 = 1, whose quotients G_i/G_i+1 are Abelian and are torsion-free as right ℤ[G/G_i]-modules. The concept of a rigid group appeared in studying algebraic geometry over groups that are close to free soluble. In the class of all rigid groups, we distinguish divisible groups the elements of whose quotients G_i/G_i+1 are divisible by any elements of respective groups rings Z[G/G_i]. It is reasonable to suppose that algebraic geometry over divisible rigid groups is rather well structured. Abstract properties of such groups are investigated. It is proved that in every divisible rigid group H that contains G as a subgroup, there is a minimal divisible subgroup including G, which we call a divisible closure of G in H. Among divisible closures of G are divisible completions of G that are distinguished by some natural condition. It is shown that a divisible completion is defined uniquely up to G-isomorphism.

Braided reinforced composite rods for the internal reinforcement of concrete

This paper reports on the development of braided reinforced composite rods as a substitute for the steel reinforcement in concrete. The research work aims at understanding the mechanical behaviour of core-reinforced braided fabrics and braided reinforced composite rods, namely concerning the influence of the braiding angle, the type of core reinforcement fibre, and preloading and postloading conditions. The core-reinforced braided fabrics were made from polyester fibres for producing braided structures, and E-glass, carbon, HT polyethylene, and sisal fibres were used for the core reinforcement. The braided reinforced composite rods were obtained by impregnating the core-reinforced braided fabric with a vinyl ester resin. The preloading of the core-reinforced braided fabrics and the postloading of the braided reinforced composite rods were performed in three and two stages, respectively. The results of tensile tests carried out on different samples of core-reinforced braided fabrics are presented and discussed. The tensile and bending properties of the braided reinforced composite rods have been evaluated, and the results obtained are presented, discussed, and compared with those of conventional materials, such as steel.
