Numerical Solution of Differential Equations of Elastic Curves in 3-dimensional Anti-de Sitter Space [PDF]
In this paper, we aim to extend the Darboux frame field into 3-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space and obtain two cases for this extension by considering a parameterized curve on a hypersurface; then we carry out the Euler-Lagrange equations and derive ...

A Survey of the Elastic Flow of Curves and Networks [PDF]
AbstractWe collect and present in a unified way several results in recent years about the elastic flow of curves and networks, trying to draw the state of the art of the subject. In particular, we give a complete proof of global existence and smooth convergence to critical points of the solution of the elastic flow of closed curves in$${\mathbb {R}}^2$$

Bifurcation of elastic curves with modulated stiffness [PDF]
We investigate the equilibrium configurations of closed planar elastic curves of fixed length, whose stiffness, also known as the bending rigidity, depends on an additional density variable. The underlying variational model relies on the minimisation of a bending energy with respect to shape and density and can be considered as a one-dimensional ...

Geometric and topological approaches to shape variation in
Leaf shape is a key plant trait that varies enormously. The range of applications for data on this trait requires frequent methodological development so that researchers have an up-to-date toolkit with which to quantify leaf shape. We generated a dataset

Clinical commissioning of an adaptive radiotherapy platform: Results and recommendations
Abstract Online adaptive radiotherapy platforms present a unique challenge for commissioning as guidance is lacking and specialized adaptive equipment, such as deformable phantoms, are rare. We designed a novel adaptive commissioning process consisting of end‐to‐end tests using standard clinical resources.

Elastic curves and phase transitions [PDF]
This paper is devoted to classical variational problems for planar elastic curves of clamped endpoints, so-called Euler's elastica problem. We investigate a straightening limit that means enlarging the distance of the endpoints, and obtain several new results concerning properties of least energy solutions.

Weak elastic energy of irregular curves
A weak notion of elastic energy for (not necessarily regular) rectifiable curves in any space dimension is proposed. Ourp-energy is defined through a relaxation process, where a suitablep-rotation of inscribed polygons is adopted. The discretep-rotation we choose has a geometric flavour: a polygon is viewed as an approximation to a smooth curve, and ...

Evolution characteristics of elastic energy storage of marble under creep loading
In order to study the energy absorption and transformation characteristics of marble, the release of strain energy and dissipation mechanism during creep process, this paper tested the stress-strain relationship of marble under uniaxial cyclic loading ...

On nonlocal mechanics of curved elastic beams [PDF]
Curved beams are basic structural components of Nano-Electro-Mechanical-Sistems (NEMS) whose design requires appropriate modelling of scale effects. In the present paper, the size-dependent static behaviour of curved elastic nano-beams is investigated by stress-driven nonlocal continuum mechanics. Axial strain and flexural curvature fields are integral
