Multiples of Pfister forms
(Elsevier, 2016-03-01)The isotropy of multiples of Pfister forms is studied. Some classical results are recalled and their consequences presented, with certain of these statements being previously known but hitherto unpublished. In particular, ... -
N=2 and N=4 subalgebras of super vertex operator algebras
(IOP Publishing, 2018-01-10)We develop criteria to decide if an N=2 or N=4 super conformal algebra is a subalgebra of a super vertex operator algebra in general, and of a super lattice theory in particular. We give some specific examples. -
Non-invasive evaluation of skin tension lines with elastic waves
(Wiley, 2017-11-20)Background: Since their discovery by Karl Langer in the 19th Century, Skin Tension Lines (STLs) have been used by surgeons to decide the location and orientation of an incision. Although these lines are patient-specific, ... -
Non-principal surface waves in deformed incompressible materials
(Elsevier, 2005)The Stroh formalism is applied to the analysis of infinitesimal surface wave propagation in a statically, finitely and homogeneously deformed isotropic half-space. The free surface is assumed to coincide with one of the ... -
Noninvasive measurement of local stress inside soft materials with programmed shear waves
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2023-03-08)Mechanical stresses across different length scales play a fundamental role in understanding biological systems¿ functions and engineering soft machines and devices. However, it is challenging to noninvasively probe local ... -
Nonlinear elastic vector solitons in hard-magnetic soft mechanical metamaterials
(Elsevier, 2023-07-14)We propose a design of a metamaterial for magnetically tunable propagation of nonlinear vector solitary waves. The metamaterial consists of a periodic array of units of hard-magnetic inclusion embedded in a soft matrix. ... -
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 ... -
Nonlinear response and axisymmetric wave propagation in functionally graded soft electro-active tubes
(Elsevier, 2020-10-02)Soft electro-active (SEA) materials can be designed and manufactured with gradients in their material properties, to modify and potentially improve their mechanical response in service. Here, we investigate the nonlinear ... -
Nonlinear transverse waves in deformed dispersive solids
(Elsevier, 2008)We present a phenomenological approach to dispersion in nonlinear elasticity. A simple, thermomechanically sound, constitutive model is proposed to describe the (non-dissipative) properties of a hyperelastic dispersive ... -
A note on element centralizers in finite Coxeter groups
(De Gruyter, 2011-08-29)The normalizer N-W(W-J) of a standard parabolic subgroup W-J of a finite Coxeter group W splits over the parabolic subgroup with complement N-J consisting of certain minimal length coset representatives of W-J in W. In ... -
Oblique wrinkles
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2017-04-03)We prove theoretically that when a soft solid is subjected to an extreme deformation, wrinkles can form on its surface at an angle that is oblique to a principal direction of stretch. These oblique wrinkles occur for a ... -
On a question of Serre
(2012)Consider an imaginary quadratic number field Q(root -m), with m a square-free positive integer, and its ring of integers {O} . The Bianchi groups are the groups SL2{O}. Further consider the Borel-Serre compactification [7] ... -
On anisotropic elasticity and questions concerning its Finite Element implementation
(Springer, 2013-05-21)We give conditions on the strain-energy function of nonlinear anisotropic hyperelastic materials that ensure compatibility with the classical linear theories of anisotropic elasticity. We uncover the limitations associated ... -
On deforming a sector of a circular cylindrical tube into an intact tube: Existence, uniqueness, and stability
(Elsevier, 2010-11)Within the context of finite deformation elasticity theory the problem of deforming an open sector of a thick-walled circular cylindrical tube into a complete circular cylindrical tube is analyzed. The analysis provides a ... -
On Genus Two Riemann Surfaces Formed from Sewn Tori
(2006)We describe the period matrix and other data on a higher genus Riemann surface in terms of data coming from lower genus surfaces via an explicit sewing procedure. We consider in detail the construction of a genus two Riemann ... -
On Level One Cuspidal Bianchi Modular Forms
(2013)In this paper, we present the outcome of vast computer calculations, locating several of the very rare instances of level one cuspidal Bianchi modular forms that are not lifts of elliptic modular forms. -
On magneto-acoustic waves in finitely deformed elastic solids
(SAGE Journals, 2011)In this paper, in the context of the quasi-magnetostatic approximation, we examine incremental motions superimposed on a static finite deformation of a magneto-elastic material in the presence of an applied magnetic field. ... -
On reflection subgroups of finite Coxeter groups
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-06-14)Let W be a finite Coxeter group. We classify the reflection subgroups of W up to conjugacy and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the map that assigns to a reflection subgroup R of W the conjugacy class of its ... -
On residual stresses and homeostasis: an elastic theory of functional adaptation in living matter
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-04-26)Living matter can functionally adapt to external physical factors by developing internal tensions, easily revealed by cutting experiments. Nonetheless, residual stresses intrinsically have a complex spatial distribution, ... -
On stress-dependent elastic moduli and wave speeds
(Oxford University Press, 2013)On the basis of the general non-linear theory of a hyperelastic material with initial stress, initially without consideration of the origin of the initial stress, we determine explicit expressions for the stress-dependent ...
