Solute transport in porous media with equilibrium and non-equilibrium multiple-site adsorpition: Travelling weaves.
This paper outlines recent developments and prospects in the application of the continuum mechanics expressed intrinsically on the material manifold itself. This includes applications to materially inhomogeneous materials, physical effects which, in this vision, manifest themselves as quasi-inhomogeneities, and the notion of thermodynamical driving force of the dissipative progress of singular point sets on the material manifold with special emphasis on fracture, shock waves and phase-transition...
The Cauchy–Born rule provides a crucial link between continuum theories of elasticity and the atomistic nature of matter. In its strongest form it says that application of affine displacement boundary conditions to a monatomic crystal will lead to an affine deformation of the whole crystal lattice. We give a general condition in arbitrary dimensions which ensures the validity of the Cauchy–Born rule for boundary deformations which are close to rigid motions. This generalizes results of Friesecke...
We extend the well-known reciprocal theorems of linear elasticity to unbounded domains. The theorems do not require that the elastic body is isotropic and homogeneous.
