Some research perspectives in galloping phenomena: critical conditions and post-critical behaviorContinuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics - Tập 27 - Trang 261-285 - 2014
Giuseppe Piccardo, Luisa Carlotta Pagnini, Federica Tubino
This paper gives an overview of wind-induced galloping phenomena, describing its manifold features and the many advances that have taken place in this field. Starting from a quasi-steady model of aeroelastic forces exerted by the wind on a rigid cylinder with three degree-of-freedom, two translations and a rotation in the plane of the model cross section, the fluid–structure interaction forces are...... hiện toàn bộ
The virial theorem and the kinetic energy of particles of a macroscopic system in the general field conceptContinuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics - Tập 29 - Trang 361-371 - 2016
Sergey G. Fedosin
The virial theorem is considered for a system of randomly moving particles that are tightly bound to each other by the gravitational and electromagnetic fields, acceleration field and pressure field. The kinetic energy of the particles of this system is estimated by three methods, and the ratio of the kinetic energy to the absolute value of the energy of forces, binding the particles, is determine...... hiện toàn bộ
A new deformation measure for micropolar plates subjected to in-plane loadsContinuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics - Tập 34 - Trang 243-257 - 2021
Gabriele La Valle, Sina Massoumi
This work aims to analyze the effect of a new deformation measure in the response of 2D plates subjected to in-plane loads. The proposed formulation allows to clearly distinguish the energetic contribution of every involved deformation mechanism. The action functional is supposed to depend on a strain, a wryness and a new relative rotation tensor in the nonlinear hypothesis; therefore, the suggest...... hiện toàn bộ
Sharp limit of the viscous Cahn–Hilliard equation and thermodynamic consistencyContinuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics - Tập 29 - Trang 913-934 - 2015
Wolfgang Dreyer, Clemens Guhlke
Diffuse and sharp interface models represent two alternatives to describe phase transitions with an interface between two coexisting phases. The two model classes can be independently formulated. Thus there arises the problem whether the sharp limit of the diffuse model fits into the setting of a corresponding sharp interface model. We call a diffuse model admissible if its sharp limit produces in...... hiện toàn bộ
An implicit strong $$\mathrm {G}^{1}$$ -conforming formulation for the analysis of the Kirchhoff plate modelContinuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics - Tập 32 - Trang 621-645 - 2018
M. Cuomo, L. Greco
In this work, we present a quadrilateral plate element for the Kirchhoff plate bending model that satisfies the continuity requirements in implicit way. The element is designed on the basis of the rational Gregory’s enhancement of the bi-cubic Coons patch. This Coons-Gregory patch is based on the boundary data set of a surface, that accounts for both the displacement and the edge rotation along th...... hiện toàn bộ

In this paper, we account for the research efforts that have been started, for some among us, already since 2003, and aimed to the design of a class of exotic architectured, optimized (meta) materials. At the first stage of these efforts, as it often happens, the research was based on the results of mathematical investigations. The problem to be solved was stated as follows: determine the material...... hiện toàn bộ
On Euclidean objectivity and the principle of material frame-indifferenceContinuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics - Tập 16 - Trang 177-183 - 2003
I-S. Liu
The essential idea of the principle of material frame-indifference - that material properties are frame indifferent, or constitutive functions are form invariant relative to change of observers - has been disputed recently by Murdoch in [1, 2] by the claim that the standard restrictions on constitutive functions can be deduced by purely objective considerations, without the requirement of form-inv...... hiện toàn bộ
A Markovian random walk model of epidemic spreadingContinuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics - Tập 33 - Trang 1207-1221 - 2021
Michael Bestehorn, Alejandro P. Riascos, Thomas M. Michelitsch, Bernard A. Collet
We analyze the dynamics of a population of independent random walkers on a graph and develop a simple model of epidemic spreading. We assume that each walker visits independently the nodes of a finite ergodic graph in a discrete-time Markovian walk governed by his specific transition matrix. With this assumption, we first derive an upper bound for the reproduction numbers. Then, we assume that a w...... hiện toàn bộ
