Fractional mechanical model for the dynamics of non-local continuum
2009
In this chapter, fractional calculus has been used to account for long-range interactions between material particles. Cohesive forces have been assumed decaying with inverse power law of the absolute distance that yields, as limiting case, an ordinary, fractional differential equation. It is shown that the proposed mathematical formulation is related to a discrete, point-spring model that includes non-local interactions by non-adjacent particles with linear springs with distance-decaying stiffness. Boundary conditions associated to the model coalesce with the well-known kinematic and static constraints and they do not run into divergent behavior. Dynamic analysis has been conducted and both…
Monotonicity and total boundednessin spaces of measurable functions
2017
Abstract We define and study the moduli d(x, 𝓐, D) and i(x, 𝓐,D) related to monotonicity of a given function x of the space L 0(Ω) of real-valued “measurable” functions defined on a linearly ordered set Ω. We extend the definitions to subsets X of L 0(Ω), and we use the obtained quantities, d(X) and i(X), to estimate the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness γ(X) of X. Compactness criteria, in special cases, are obtained.
