    • A wave near the edge of a circular disk 

      Destrade, Michel (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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • A Weibull-count approach for handling under- and overdispersed longitudinal/clustered data structures 

      Luyts, Martial; Molenberghs, Geert; Verbeke, Geert; Matthijs, Koen; Ribeiro Jr, Eduardo E.; Demétrio, Clarice G. B.; Hinde, John (SAGE Publications, 2018-07-30)
      A Weibull-model-based approach is examined to handle under- and overdispersed discrete data in a hierarchical framework. This methodology was first introduced by Nakagawa and Osaki (1975, IEEE Transactions on Reliability, ...
    • Weierstrass's criterion and compact solitary waves 

      Destrade, Michel (American Physical Society, 2007-04-17)
      Weierstrass's theory is a standard qualitative tool for single degree of freedom equations, used in classical mechanics and in many textbooks. In this Brief Report we show how a simple generalization of this tool makes it ...

    • What controls the magnetic interaction in bis-mu-alkoxo Mn(III) dimers? A combined experimental and theoretical exploration. 

      Berg, Nelly; Jones, Leigh F. (Wiley, 2012-03-29)
      The synthesis and magnetic characterisation of a series of bis-mu-alkoxide bridged MnIII dinuclear complexes of general formula [MnIII2(mu-OR)2(biphen)2(ROH)x(L)y] (where R=Me, Et; H2biphen=2,2'-biphenol and L=terminally ...
    • Whitecaps and the marine atmosphere, report no. 3 

      Spillane, M. C.; O'Muircheartalgh, I.G.; Monahan, E.C. (1981-04)
      This report covers the period from 1 July, 1980 to 31 March, 1981, and is devoted to a description of the work carried out, and the results obtained, during this interval on the on-going ONR-sponsored study of "The Influence ...
    • Whitecaps and the marine atmosphere, report no. 5 

      Monahan, E. C. (1983-06)
      During this year we have continued making measurements of aerosols and electrostatic charge from our coastal tower in Gort na gCapall on Inishmore. Likewise, the experiments centred on the Whitecap Simulation Tank are ...
    • Whitecaps and the marine atmosphere, report no. 6 

      Doyle, David M. (1984-06)
      This study is concerned with the interdependence of 10m elevation wind speed, oceanic whitecap coverage and marine aerosol concentration. The field work is divided into two distinct phases. On Inishmore Co. Galway. ...
    • Whitecaps and the marine atmosphere, report no. 7 

      Monahan, E. C. (1984-10)
      This report describes the general activities and findings of the Whitecap Project in the 16-month-long period 1 June 1983-30 September 1984. Additional results obtained during this period from this study of whitecaps ...
    • Whitecaps and the marine atmosphere, report no. 8 

      Monahan, E. C. (1985-10)
      During the 12-month-long period covered by this report, i.e. in the 1 October 1984 - 30 September interval, all facets of the Whitecap Project progressed apace. The field work during this year included both international and ...
    • Widely applicable metallacarborane reagents for π-conjugated systems 

      Farràs, Pau; Musteti, Ana D.; Rojo, Isabel; Viñas, Clara; Teixidor, Francesc; Light, Mark E. (American Chemical Society, 2014-05-12)
      The compounds [N(CH3)4][3,3′-Co(8-(p-C6H4C2H3)-1,2-C2B9H10)(1′,2′-C2B9H11)], [N(CH3)4][3,3′-Co(8-(p-C6H4CHO)-1,2-C2B9H10)(1′,2′-C2B9H11)], and [N(CH3)4][3,3′-Co(8-(m-C6H4CHO)-1,2-C2B9H10)(1′,2′-C2B9H11)] were synthesized ...
    • 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. ...
    • Wrinkles and creases in the bending, unbending and eversion of soft sectors 

      Sigaeva, Taisiya; Mangan, Robert; Vergori, Luigi; Destrade, Michel; Sudak, Les (The Royal Society, 2018-03-23)
      We study what is clearly one of the most common modes of deformation found in nature, science and engineering, namely the large elastic bending of curved structures, as well as its inverse, unbending, which can be brought ...
    • Wrinkles in soft dielectric plates 

      Su, Yipin; Conroy Broderick, Hannah; Chen, Weiqiu; Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2018-07-04)
      We show that a smooth giant voltage actuation of soft dielectric plates is not easily obtained in practice. In principle one can exploit, through pre-deformation, the snap-through behavior of their loading curve to deliver ...
    • Wrinkles in the opening angle method 

      Destrade, Michel; Lusetti, Irene; Mangan, Robert; Sigaeva, Taisiya (Elsevier, 2017-06-10)

    • Wrinkling of soft magneto-active plates 

      Wu, Bin; Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2020-11-03)
      Coupled magneto-mechanical wrinkling has appeared in many scenarios of engineering and biology. Hence, soft magneto-active (SMA) plates buckle when subject to critical uniform magnetic field normal to their wide surface. ...
