We provide a simple topological derivation of a formula for the Reidemeister and the analytic torsion of spheres.

Double-torsion tests were carried out on a commercial ceramic floor tile to verify whether this test is suitable for determining the R-curve of ceramics. The instantaneous crack length was obtained by means of compliance ...

Un momento de torsión es un giro o vuelta que tiende a producir rotación. Las aplicaciones se encuentran en muchas herramientas comunes en el hogar o la industria donde es necesario girar, apretar o aflojar dispositivos.

In this article, we study the Reidemeister torsion and the analytic torsion of the m dimensional disc, with the Ray and Singer homology basis (Adv Math 7:145-210, 1971). We prove that the Reidemeister torsion coincides ...

This investigation deals with the torsional balance of the earthquake response and design of elastic asymmetric structures with frictional dampers. Plan asymmetry leads to an uneven lateral deformation demand among structural ...
