Theoretical model of homogenized piezoelectric materials with small non-collinear periodic cracks by Jean M. Nianga, D. Marhabi

“…An analytical model for the homogenization of a piezoelectric material with small periodic fissures is proposed on the basis of the method of asymptotic expansions for the elastic displacement, the electric scalar potential and the test functions. Starting from the variational formulation of the three-dimensional problem of linear piezoelectricity, we have at first obtained that concerning a cracked piezoelectric structure, before the implementation of homogenized equations for a piezoelectric structure with a periodic distribution of cracks. …”

Asymptotic symmetries in the $TsT/T\bar{T}$ correspondence by Zhengyuan Du, Wen-Xin Lai, Kangning Liu, Wei Song

“…The asymptotic symmetry in the auxiliary AdS basis is generated by two commuting Virasoro generators, while in the TsT transformed basis is non-linear and non-local. Our result from string theory analysis is compatible with that of the $T\bar T$ deformed CFT$_2$.…”

Modelling a Cracked Beam Structure Using the Finite Element Displacement Method by Hui Long, Yilun Liu, Changzheng Huang, Weihui Wu, Zhaojun Li

“…In particular, the stiffness matrix of the cracked beam element is firstly derived by the displacement method, which does not need the flexibility matrix inversion calculation compared with the previous local flexibility approaches based on the force method. Starting with a finite element model of cracked beam element, the equation of strain energy of a cracked beam element is formed by the displacement method combined with the linear fracture mechanics. …”

Phénomènes d’accommodation inter-sujets : le cas des reformulations introduites par OR by Blandine Pennec

“…The goal of this study is to understand the compatibility of this marker with the introduction of these two categories of repairs (knowing that OR is also characterized by a large variety of uses, whether metalinguistic or not). Taking as a starting point the fact that a discursive segment is produced with a view to compete with a previous one in the linear order, we will study the interpretative mechanisms as well as the forms of accommodation that result from this pattern.…”

On a Newton-Type Method for Differential-Algebraic Equations by S. Amat, M. J. Légaz, P. Pedregal

“…In seeking to minimize the error, by using standard descent schemes, the procedure can never get stuck in local minima but will always and steadily decrease the error until getting to the solution sought. Starting with an initial approximation to the solution, we improve it by adding the solution of some associated linear problems, in such a way that the error is significantly decreased. …”
