The present paper has two goals. First to present a natural example of a new class of random fields which are the variable neighborhood random fields. The example we consider is a partially observed nearest neighbor binary ...

The dissociation dynamics of heteronuclear diatomic molecules induced by infrared laser pulses is investigated within the framework of the classical driven Morse oscillator. The interaction between the molecule and the ...

Improving the durability and sustainability of concrete structures has been driving the enormous number of research papers on self-healing mechanisms that have been published in the past decades. The vast developments of ...

We derive the variational formulation of a gradient damage model by applying the energetic formulationof rate-independent processes and obtain a regularized formulation of fracture. The model exhibits dif-ferent behaviour ...

We introduce magnetic coherent states for a particle in a variable magnetic field. They provide a pure state quantization of the phase space R(2N) endowed with a magnetic symplectic form.

This paper presents a framework for modeling failure in quasi-brittle geomaterials under different loading conditions. A micromechanics-based model is proposed in which the field variables are linked to physical mechanisms ...

We present the most extended and homogeneous study carried out so far of the main and early shocks in 1485 RR Lyrae stars in the Galactic bulge observed by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. We selected nonmodulated ...
