Fusion of Critical Defect Lines in the 2D Ising Model

open access: yes, 2013
Two defect lines separated by a distance delta look from much larger distances like a single defect. In the critical theory, when all scales are large compared to the cutoff scale, this fusion of defect lines is universal.

On the application of the Theory of Critical Distances for prediction of fracture in fibre composites

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2009
This paper is concerned with the fracture of composite materials containing stress concentration features such as notches and holes. In particular, it addresses the question of the use of the Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) – a method which is widely ...

Non Perturbative Solutions and Scaling Properties of Vector, Axial--Vector Electrodynamics in $1+1$ Dimensions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
We study by non perturbative techniques a vector, axial--vector theory characterized by a parameter which interpolates between pure vector and chiral Schwinger models.

Comparison of local fatigue assessment methods for high-quality butt-welded joints made of high-strength steel

open access: yesForces in Mechanics, 2022
Fatigue strength of welded joints is typically independent of the parent material static strength; however, there are two exceptions from this rule—post-weld treated joints and high-quality joints.

Chalker scaling, level repulsion, and conformal invariance in critically delocalized quantum matter: Disordered topological superconductors and artificial graphene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We numerically investigate critically delocalized wavefunctions in models of 2D Dirac fermions, subject to vector potential disorder. These describe the surface states of 3D topological superconductors, and can also be realized through long-range ...

Duality of singularities of multiscale damage localization and crack advance: length variety in Theory of Critical Distances

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2019
The existence of two singularities related to the stress field at the crack tip and blow-up kinetics of damage localization is considered as the physical basis for the interpretation of the Theory of Critical Distances.

Environmentally Assisted Cracking Behavior of S420 and X80 Steels Containing U-notches at Two Different Cathodic Polarization Levels: An Approach from the Theory of Critical Distances

open access: yesMetals, 2019
This paper analyzes, using the theory of critical distances, the environmentally assisted cracking behavior of two steels (S420 and API X80) subjected to two different aggressive environments.

Gauge Boson Masses in the 3-d, SU(2) Gauge-Higgs Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We study gauge boson propagators in the symmetric and symmetry broken phases of the 3-d, $SU(2)$ gauge-Higgs model. Correlation functions for the gauge fields are calculated in Landau gauge.

Dual theory of the superfluid-Bose glass transition in disordered Bose-Hubbard model in one and two dimensions

open access: yes, 1998
I study the zero temperature phase transition between superfluid and insulating ground states of the Bose-Hubbard model in a random chemical potential and at large integer average number of particles per site.
