In this work, we define a deformation theory for the coupled Kahler-Yang-Mills equations, generalizing work of Sz,kelyhidi on constant scalar curvature Kahler metrics. We use the theory to find new solutions of the equations via deformation of the complex ...
We study equations on a principal bundle over a compact complex manifold coupling a connection on the bundle with a Kahler structure on the base. These equations generalize the conditions of constant scalar curvature for a Kahler metric and Hermite-Yang-Mi ...
The aims of this research is to experimentally investigate the post-wrinkling behavior in GFRP cell-core sandwiches with orthotropic webs as well as the applicability of existing theories, e.g. the rotated stress field theory, to orthotropic FRP material s ...
We present the material, spatial, and convective representations for elasticity and fluids with a free boundary from the Lagrangian reduction point of view, using the material and spatial symmetries of these systems. The associated constrained variational ...
We present a new fully first-order strongly hyperbolic representation of the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura formulation of Einstein's equations with optional constraint damping terms. We describe the characteristic fields of the system, discuss its hyp ...
In this article, we investigate the equations of magnetostatics for a configuration where a ferromagnetic material occupies a bounded domain and is surrounded by vacuum. Furthermore, the ferromagnetic law takes the form ...
Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) is an innovative technique for soil grouting involving a bacterial reactive grout. A comprehensive research work is carried out to better understand and consequently describe the phenomenon of multispecies rea ...
The high demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased the use of glass mate-rial also for structural purpose. However, connections between structural glass members repre-sent one of the most critical aspects of glass engineering, due to ...
We study Sobolev-type metrics of fractional order s a parts per thousand yen 0 on the group Diff (c) (M) of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a manifold M. We show that for the important special case M = S (1), the geodesic distance on Diff (c) (S (1) ...
There are two competing descriptions of nematic liquid crystal dynamics: the Ericksen-Leslie director theory and the Eringen micropolar approach. Up to this day, these two descriptions have remained distinct in spite of several attempts to show that the mi ...
