A continuous/discontinuous Galerkin formulation for a strain gradient-dependent damage model [PDF]
, 2004 The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models that involve gradients of the strain field means that the $C^0$ continuity

An approach to nonlinear viscoelasticity via metric gradient flows [PDF]
, 2013 We formulate quasistatic nonlinear finite-strain viscoelasticity of rate type as a gradient system. Our focus is on nonlinear dissipation functionals and distances that are related to metrics on weak diffeomorphisms and that ensure time-dependent frame ...

On the relation between gradient flows and the large-deviation principle, with applications to Markov chains and diffusion [PDF]
, 2013 Motivated by the occurrence in rate functions of time-dependent large-deviation principles, we study a class of non-negative functions L that induce a flow, given by L(¿t,¿¿t)=0. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique existence of a

Seasonal variability of thermal fronts in the Southwestern Arafura Sea in El Niño dan La Niña [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesSea surface temperature (SST) thermal fronts in eastern Indonesian waters are strongly modulated by monsoonal winds and regional interactions. Previous studies have mainly focused on the northern Arafura Sea and the Banda Sea, where strong upwelling and ...

Experimental analysis of the log-law at adverse pressure gradient [PDF]
, 2021 The experimental data for the mean velocity are analysed in the inner layer for a turbulent boundary layer at significant adverse pressure gradient and Reynolds numbers up to Re-theta=57000.

Nonlinear cross Gramians and gradient systems [PDF]
, 2007 We study the notion of cross Gramians for non-linear gradient systems, using the characterization in terms of prolongation and gradient extension associated to the system.

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2016 Understanding urban growth spatiotemporally is important for landscape and urban development planning. In this study, we examined the spatiotemporal pattern of urban growth of the Colombo Metropolitan Area (CMA)—Sri Lanka’s only metropolitan area—from ...

Formulation, analysis and solution algorithms for a model of gradient plasticity within a discontinuous Galerkin framework [PDF]
, 2008 Includes bibliographical references (p. [221]-239).An investigation of a model of gradient plasticity in which the classical von Mises yield function is augmented by a term involving the Laplacian of the equivalent plastic strain is presented. The theory
