Nematodynamics is the orientation dynamics of flowless liquid-crystals. We show how Euler-Poincar, reduction produces a unifying framework for various theories, including Ericksen-Leslie, Luhiller-Rey, and Eringen's micropolar theory. In particular, we sho ...
The goal of this paper is to derive the Hamiltonian structure of polarized and magnetized Euler-Maxwell fluids by reduction of the canonical symplectic form on phase space, and to generalize the dynamics to the nonabelian case. The Hamiltonian function we ...
Dendronized polymers consist of an elastic backbone with a set of iterated branch structures (dendrimers) attached at every base point of the backbone. The conformations of such molecules depend on the elastic deformation of the backbone and the branches, ...
Motivated by applications in computational anatomy, we consider a second-order problem in the calculus of variations on object manifolds that are acted upon by Lie groups of smooth invertible transformations. This problem leads to solution curves known as ...
This paper completes a proof of the Dirac reduction theorem by involutive tangent subbundles. As a consequence, Dirac reduction by a proper Lie group action having one isotropy type is carried out. The main technical tool in the proof is the notion of part ...
A new method of singular reduction is extended from Poisson to Dirac manifolds. Then it is shown that the Dirac structures on the strata of the quotient coincide with those of the only other known singular Dirac reduction method. ...
The purpose of this research project is to develop variational integrators synchronous or asynchronous, which can be used as tools to study complex structures composed of plates and beams subjected to large deformations and stress. We consider the geometri ...
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 ...
The reduction of nonholonomic systems is formulated in terms of Dirac reduction. An optimal reduction method for a class of nonholonomic systems is formulated. Several examples are studied in detail. ...
The regular reduction of a Dirac manifold acted upon freely and properly by a Lie group is generalized to a nonfree action. For this, several facts about G-invariant vector fields and one-forms are shown. ...
