  • Surface stability of nonlinear magnetoelastic solids 

    Ottenio, M.; Destrade, Michel; Ogden, R.W. (Wiley, 2007-12)
    The present paper proposes to identify surface stability when a magnetoelastic half-space is subjected to a pure homogeneous pre-deformation and to a magnetic field normal to its (plane) boundary. Clearly, the aim is to ...
  • Onde de Love Piézoacoustique 

    Collet, Bernard; Destrade, Michel (2006-04-24)
    Une sélection de résultats analytiques et numériques concernant la propagation d'ondes planes harmoniques guidées dans un bicouche piézoélectrique est présentée. L'étude effectuée concerne les modes transverses horizontaux ...
  • Wireless communicative stent for follow-up of abdominal aortic aneurysm, 

    Destrade, Michel (IEEE, 2006)
    An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a dilatation of the aorta at the abdominal level, which rupture is a life threatening complication. Recent treatment of AAA consists in endovascular treatment with covered stent grafts. ...
  • A note about waves in dissipative and dispersive solids 

    Destrade, Michel; Saccomandi, Giuseppe (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 ...
  • Waves and vibrations in a solid of second grade 

    Destrade, Michel; Saccomandi, Giuseppe (World Scientific, 2006)
    We study the viscoelastic second grade solid, for which the constitutive equation consists in the sum of a purely elastic part and a viscoelastic part; this latter part is specified by two microstructural coefficients ...
  • Mechanical properties of excised human skin 

    Ni Annaidh, Aisling; Ottenio, M.; Bruyere, K.; Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (Springer Verlag, 2010)
    In this study we have investigated in influence of location, gender and orientation on the deformation characteristics of 55 samples of human excised skin. Uniaxial tensile tests were carried out at a strain rate of ...
  • ENDOCOM: Abdominal aortic aneurysm test bench for in vitro simulation 

    Destrade, Michel (IEEE, 2007)
    An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a dilatation of the aorta at the abdominal level, whose rupture is a life threatening complication. Recent treatment procedures of AAA consists in endovascular treatment with covered ...
  • Finite-amplitude Love waves in a pre-stressed neo-Hookean material 

    Destrade, Michel; Rodrigues Ferreira, Elizabete; Boulanger, Philippe (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 ...
  • Experimental characterisation of neural tissue at collision speeds 

    Destrade, Michel; Rashid, Bader; Gilchrist, Michael (International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI), 2012)
    Mechanical characterisation of brain tissue at high loading velocities is particularly important for modelling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a mixture of compression, ...
  • Strain rate effects on the failure characteristics of excised human skin 

    Destrade, Michel (The 9th International Conference on the Mechanics of Time Dependent Materials, 2014)
    Skin is a complex, multi-layered material which exhibits non-linear, anisotropic and viscoelastic behaviour. Its structure is complex and can be broadly divided into three main layers: the epidermis, the dermis and ...
  • Partition functions and chiral algebras. 

    Tuite, Michael P. (American Mathematical Society, 2007-05)
    We discuss recent work of the authors concerning correlation functions and partition functions for free bosons/fermions and the b-c or ghost system. We compare and contrast the nature of the 1-point functions at genus 1, ...
  • The bosonic vertex operator algebra on a genus g Riemann surface 

    Tuite, Michael P.; Zuevsky, Alexander (2011-08)
    We discuss the partition function for the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra on a genus g Riemann surface formed by sewing handles to a Riemann sphere. In particular, it is shown how the partition can be computed by means ...
  • Hyperelastic and viscoelastic properties of brain tissue in tension 

    Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (ASME, 2012)
    Mechanical characterization of brain tissue at high loading velocities is particularly important for modelling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a mixture of compression, ...
  • Learning with Consistency between Inductive Functions and Kernels 

    Yang, Haixuan (2009)
    [no abstract available]
  • Characteristic classes of complexified bundles 

    Rahm, Alexander D. (Summer School in Algebraic Topology: Sheaf theoretic methods in the theory of characteristic classes, 2007)
    We examine the topological characteristic cohomology classes of complexified vector bundles . In particular, all the classes coming from real vector bundles are computed. We use characteristic classes with the ax-ioms of ...
  • NHDC and PHDC: Non-propagating and propagating heat diffusion classifiers 

    Yang, Haixuan (12th International Conference on Neural Information Processing, 2005)
    Abstract - By imitating the way that heat flows in a medium with a geometric structure, we propose two novel classification algorithms, Non-propagating Heat Diffusion Classifier (NHDC) and Propagating Heat Diffusion ...
  • A point-distribution index and its application to sensor-grouping in wireless sensor networks 

    Yang, Haixuan (ACM, 2006)
    We propose [i], a novel index for evaluation of point-distribution. [i] is the minimum distance etween each pair of points normalized by the average distance between each pair of points. We find that a set of points that ...
  • Predictive random graph ranking on the web 

    Yang, Haixuan (2006)
    The incomplete information about the Web structure causes inaccurate results of various ranking algorithms. In this paper, we propose a solution to this problem by formulating a new framework called, Predictive Random Graph ...
  • Diffusionrank: a possible penicillin for web spamming 

    Yang, Haixuan (2007)
    While the PageRank algorithm has proven to be very effective for ranking Web pages, the rank scores of Web pages can be manipulated. To handle the manipulation problem and to cast a new insight on the Web structure, we ...
