Inverse problems in elasticity [PDF]
This review is devoted to some inverse problems arising in the context of linear elasticity, namely the identification of distributions of elastic moduli, model parameters or buried objects such as cracks. These inverse problems are considered mainly for

Statistical mechanics and dynamics of solvable models with long-range interactions [PDF]
The two-body potential of systems with long-range interactions decays at large distances as $V(r)\sim 1/r^\alpha$, with $\alpha\leq d$, where $d$ is the space dimension.

Development of configurational forces during the injection of an elastic rod [PDF]
When an inextensible elastic rod is 'injected' through a sliding sleeve against a fixed constraint, configurational forces are developed, deeply influencing the mechanical response.

A higher order control volume based finite element method to prodict the deformation of heterogeneous materials [PDF]
Materials with obvious internal structure can exhibit behaviour, under loading, that cannot be described by classical elasticity. It is therefore important to develop computational tools incorporating appropriate constitutive theories that can capture ...

Analytical Solutions to General Anti-Plane Shear Problems In Finite Elasticity [PDF]
This paper presents a pure complementary energy variational method for solving anti-plane shear problem in finite elasticity. Based on the canonical duality-triality theory developed by the author, the nonlinear/nonconex partial differential equation for

A comparison of slip, disjoining pressure, and interface formation models for contact line motion through asymptotic analysis of thin two-dimensional droplet spreading [PDF]
The motion of a contact line is examined, and comparisons drawn, for a variety of models proposed in the literature. Pressure and stress behaviours at the contact line are examined in the prototype system of quasistatic spreading of a thin two ...

The structure of shock waves as a test of Brenner's modifications to the Navier-Stokes equations [PDF]
Brenner (Physica A, vol. 349, 2005a, b, pp. 11, 60) has recently proposed modifications to the Navier-Stokes equations that are based on theoretical arguments but supported only by experiments having a fairly limited range.

Rotational self-diffusion in suspensions of charged particles: Revised Beenakker-Mazur and Pairwise Additivity methods versus numerical simulations [PDF]
To the present day, the Beenakker-Mazur (BM) method is the most comprehensive statistical physics approach to the calculation of short-time transport properties of colloidal suspensions.

Geometrical aspects and connections of the energy-temperature fluctuation relation
Recently, we have derived a generalization of the known canonical fluctuation relation $k_{B}C=\beta^{2}$ between heat capacity $C$ and energy fluctuations, which can account for the existence of macrostates with negative heat capacities ...

Reducing quasi-ergodicity in a double well potential by Tsallis Monte Carlo simulation
A new Monte Carlo scheme based on the system of Tsallis's generalized statistical mechanics is applied to a simple double well potential to calculate the canonical thermal average of potential energy.
