Two-Perfect Fluid Interpretation of an Energy Tensor
1990
The paper contains the necessary and sufficient conditions for a given energy tensor to be interpreted as a sum of two perfect fluids. Given a tensor of this class, the decomposition in two perfect fluids (which is determined up to a couple of real functions) is obtained.
Ricci Tensors on Some Infinite Dimensional Lie Algebras
1999
Abstract The Ricci tensor has been computed in several infinite dimensional situations. In this work, we shall be interested in the case of the central extension of loop groups and in the asymptotic behaviour of the Ricci tensor on free loop groups as the Riemannian metric varies.
Weak Levi-Civita Connection for the Damped Metric on the Riemannian Path Space and Vanishing of Ricci Tensor in Adapted Differential Geometry
2001
Abstract We shall establish in the context of adapted differential geometry on the path space P m o ( M ) a Weitzenbock formula which generalizes that in (A. B. Cruzeiro and P. Malliavin, J. Funct. Anal . 177 (2000), 219–253), without hypothesis on the Ricci tensor. The renormalized Ricci tensor will be vanished. The connection introduced in (A. B. Cruzeiro and S. Fang, 1997, J. Funct. Anal. 143 , 400–414) will play a central role.
A compliant visco-plastic particle contact model based on differential variational inequalities
2013
This work describes an approach to simulate contacts between threedimensional shapes with compliance and damping using the framework of the differential variational inequality theory. Within the context of nonsmooth dynamics, we introduce an extension to the classical set-valued model for frictional contacts between rigid bodies, allowing contacts to experience local compliance, viscosity, and plasticization. Different types of yield surfaces can be defined for various types of contact, a versatile approach that contains the classic dry Coulomb friction as a special case. The resulting problem is a differential variational inequality that can be solved, at each integration time step, as a v…
Singular points of electrochemical impedance function
2004
A model of EIS response for a system with two consecutive monoelectron transfers is developed in this work. Relevant information on the mechanism of these electrochemical systems is provided by the parametrical identification of the theoretical faradaic impedance function. The kinetic parameters of this model are easily calculated through the calculus of the characteristic points of this function. This calculus allows to interpret the metals anodic dissolution according to the reaction mechanism and, therefore, allows us to establish easily the kinetic and thermodynamic behaviour of these systems with respect to any experimental parameter.
Estimation of peak capacity based on peak simulation.
2018
Peak capacity (PC) is a key concept in chromatographic analysis, nowadays of great importance for characterising complex separations as a criterion to find the most promising conditions. A theoretical expression for PC estimation can be easily deduced in isocratic elution, provided that the column plate count is assumed constant for all analytes. In gradient elution, the complex dependence of peak width with the gradient program implies that an integral equation has to be solved, which is only possible in a limited number of situations. In 2005, Uwe Neue developed a comprehensive theory for the calculation of PC in gradient elution, which is only valid for certain situations: single linear …
Localized potentials in electrical impedance tomography
2008
In this work we study localized electric potentials that have an arbitrarily high energy on some given subset of a domain and low energy on another. We show that such potentials exist for general L ∞ -conductivities in almost arbitrarily shaped subregions of a domain, as long as these regions are connected to the boundary and a unique continuation principle is satisfied. From this we deduce a simple, but new, theoretical identifiability result for the famous Calderon problem with partial data. We also show how to con- struct such potentials numerically and use a connection with the factorization method to derive a new non-iterative algorithm for the detection of inclusions in electrical imp…
Exact 3D solution for static and damped harmonic response of simply supported general laminates
2014
International audience; The state-space method is adapted to obtain three dimensional exact solutions for the static and damped dynamic behaviors of simply supported general laminates. The state-space method is written in a general form that permits to handle both cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply laminates. This general form also permits to obtain exact solutions for general laminates, albeit with some constraints. For the general case and for the static behavior, either an additive term is added to the load to simulate simply supported boundary conditions, or the plate bends in a particular way. For the dynamic behavior, the general case leads to pairs of natural frequencies for each …
Experimental determination of mode I fracture parameters in orthotropic materials by means of Digital Image Correlation
2020
Abstract The mode I fracture parameters for an orthotropic body are directly calculated from full-field deformation measurements provided by Digital Image Correlation (DIC). Three complementary and direct approaches are evaluated and compared: (i) the determination of the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) by fitting the displacement field using the analytical expression proposed by Lekhnitskii; (ii) the determination of the J-Integral by using the Energy Domain Integral (EDI) formulation on the raw DIC data; and (iii) the calculation of the J-Integral using the EDI approach on the displacement data fitted using Lekhnitskii’s formulation. A comparative experimental study is performed by testing …
Scenery Flow, Conical Densities, and Rectifiability
2015
We present an application of the recently developed ergodic theoretic machinery on scenery flows to a classical geometric measure theoretic problem in Euclidean spaces. We also review the enhancements to the theory required in our work. Our main result is a sharp version of the conical density theorem, which we reduce to a question on rectifiability.
