Some design considerations for polymer-free drug-eluting stents: a mathematical approach
(Elsevier (Science Direct), 2015)In this paper we provide the first model of drug elution from polymer-free arterial drug-eluting stents. The generalised model is capable of predicting the drug release from a number of polymer-free systems including those ... -
Some Generalizations of the MacMahon Master Theorem
(2011)We consider a number of generalizations of the $\beta$-extended MacMahon Master Theorem for a matrix. The generalizations are based on replacing permutations on multisets formed from matrix indices by partial permutations ... -
Some Irrational Generalised Moonshine from Orbifolds
(2002)We verify the Generalised Moonshine conjectures for some irrational modular functions for the Monster centralisers related to the Harada-Norton, Held, $M_{12}$ and $L_3(3)$ simple groups based on certain orbifolding ... -
Some results on finite amplitude elastic waves propagating in rotating media
(Springer, 2004-12)Two questions related to elastic motions are raised and addressed. First: in which theoretical framework can the equations of motion be written for an elastic half-space put into uniform rotation? It is seen that nonlinear ... -
The speed of interfacial waves polarized in a symmetry plane
(Elsevier, 2006-01)The surface-impedance matrix method is used to study interfacial waves polarized in a plane of symmetry of anisotropic elastic materials. Although the corresponding Stroh polynomial is a quartic, it turns out to be ... -
Stability analysis of charge-controlled soft dielectric plates
(Elsevier, 2020-04-06)We examine the stability of a soft dielectric plate deformed by the coupled effects of a mechanical pre-stress applied on its lateral faces and an electric field applied through its thickness under charge control. The ... -
Stability analysis of charge-controlled soft dielectric plates
(Elsevier, 2020-04-06)We examine the stability of a soft dielectric plate deformed by the coupled effects of a mechanical pre-stress applied on its lateral faces and an electric field applied through its thickness under charge control. The ... -
Stoneley waves and interface stability for Bell materials in compression; comparison with rubber
(2005)Two semi-infinite bodies made of prestressed, homogeneous, Bell-constrained, hyperelastic materials are perfectly bonded along a plane interface. The half-space have been subjected to finite pure homogeneous predeformations, ... -
Strain energy function for isotropic non-linear elastic incompressible solids with linear finite strain response in shear and torsion
(Elsevier, 2016-07-18)We find the strain energy function for isotropic incompressible solids exhibiting a linear relationship between shear stress and amount of shear, and between torque and amount of twist, when subject to large simple shear ... -
The stress field in a pulled cork and some subtle points in the semi-inverse method of nonlinear elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2007-11-08)In an attempt to describe cork-pulling, we model a cork as an incompressible rubber-like material and consider that it is subject to a helical shear deformation superimposed onto a shrink fit and a simple torsion. It turns ... -
Structural and material electro-mechanical instabilities in microstructured dielectric elastomer plates
(Elsevier, 2022-02-18)In this paper, we investigate the stability of microstructured dielectric elastomer (DE) plates under electro-mechanical finite deformations. We examine the influence of the DE composite microstructure parameters on the ... -
The subgroup measuring the defect of the Abelianization of SL_2(Z[i])
(Springer, 2013-02-10)There is a natural inclusion of SL2(Z) into SL2(Z[i]) , but it does not induce an injection of commutator factor groups (Abelianizations). In order to see where and how the 3 -torsion of the Abelianization of SL2(Z) ... -
Surface acoustic waves in rotating orthorhombic crystals
(The Royal Society, 2004-02-08)The propagation of surface (Rayleigh) waves over a rotating orthorhombic crystal is studied. The crystal possesses three crystallographic axes, normal to the symmetry planes: the half¿space is cut along a plane normal to ... -
Surface waves and surface stability for pre-stretched, unconstrained, non-linearly elastic half-space
(Elsevier, 2009-06)An unconstrained, non-linearly elastic, semi-infinite solid is maintained in a state of large static plane strain. A power¿law relation between the pre-stretches is assumed and it is shown that this assumption is well ... -
Surface waves in a deformed isotropic hyperelastic material subject to an isotropic internal constraint
(Elsevier, 2004)An isotropic elastic half-space is prestrained so that two of the principal axes of strain lie in the bounding plane, which itself remains free of traction. The material is subject to an isotropic constraint of arbitrary ... -
Surface waves in a stretched and sheared incompressible elastic material
(2005)In this paper, we analyze the effect of a combined pure homogeneous strain and simple shear in a principal plane of the latter on the propagation of surface waves for an incompressible isotropic elastic half-space whose ... -
Surface waves in deformed Bell materials
(2003)Small amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves are studied as they propagate on the free surface of a predeformed semi-infinite body made of Bell constrained material. The predeformation corresponds to a finite static pure ... -
Surface waves in orthotropic incompressible materials
(Acoustical Society of America, 2001-04-17)The secular equation for surface acoustic waves propagating on an orthotropic incompressible half-space is derived in a direct manner, using the method of first integrals. -
The Szegö Kernel on a Sewn Riemann Surface
(2010)We describe the Szegö kernel on a higher genus Riemann surface in terms of Szegö kernel data coming from lower genus surfaces via two explicit sewing procedures where either two Riemann surfaces are sewn together or a ... -
Tate's and Yoshida's theorems on control of transfer for fusion systems
(2010-03)We prove analogues of results of Tate and Yoshida on control of transfer for fusion systems. This requires the notions of p-group residuals and transfer maps in cohomology for fusion systems. As a corollary, we obtain a ...
