Piezoacoustic wave spectra using improved surface impedance matrix: Application to high impedance-contrast layered plates
(2008)
Starting from the general modal solutions for a homogeneous layer of arbitrary material and crystalline symmetry, a matrix formalism is developed to establish the semianalytical expressions of the surface impedance matrices ...
Incremental magnetoelastic deformations, with application to surface instability
(Springer, 2008-01)
In this paper the equations governing the deformations of infinitesimal (incremental) disturbances superimposed on finite static deformation fields involving magnetic and elastic interactions are presented. The coupling ...
Asymptotic results for bifurcations in pure bending of rubber blocks
(Oxford Journals, 2008-03)
The bifurcation of an incompressible neo-Hookean thick block with a ratio of thickness to length n, subject to pure bending, is considered. The two incremental equilibrium equations corresponding to a nonlinear pre-buckling ...
Nonlinear Euler buckling
(Royal Society Publishing, 2008-11)
The buckling of hyperelastic incompressible cylindrical tubes of arbitrary length and thickness under compressive axial load is considered within the framework of nonlinear elasticity. Analytical and numerical methods for ...
A wave near the edge of a circular disk
(2008)
It is shown that in the Love-Kirchhoff plate theory, an edge wave can travel in a circular thin disk made of an isotropic elastic material. This disk edge wave turns out to be faster than the classic flexural acoustic wave ...
Electron beam therapy at extended SSD: a Monte Carlo investigation of output fom a Siemens Oncor linear accelerator
(2008)
Electron-beam therapy is used to treat superficial tumors at a standard 100 cm
source-to-surface distance (SSD). However, certain clinical situations require the use of an
extended SSD. In the present study, Monte Carlo ...
Sorec: social recommendation using probabilistic matrix factorization
(ACM, 2008)
Data sparsity, scalability and prediction quality have been recognized as the three most crucial challenges that every collaborative filtering algorithm or recommender system confronts. Many existing approaches to recommender ...
Identification of Components of the Sigma B Regulon in Listeria monocytogenes That Contribute to Acid and Salt Tolerance
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-09)
Sigma B is an alternative sigma factor that controls the transcriptional response to stress in Listeria monocytogenes and is also known to play a role in the virulence of this human pathogen. In the present study we ...
Finite-amplitude Love waves in a pre-stressed neo-Hookean material
(2008)
In the context of the non-linear elasticity theory we consider a model for compressible solids called compressible neoHookean
material . We show how (exact) finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane wave solutions and ...
A note about waves in dissipative and dispersive solids
(World Scientific, 2008)
We study shear waves propagating in a special viscoelastic model proposed first by
Fosdick and Yu in 1996. We deduce an asymptotic approximation which reduces
the full balance equations to a system of evolution equations ...
