Dynamic stress intensity factor due to concentrated loads on a propagating semi-infinite crack in orthotropic materials
International Journal of Fracture, 2002Co-Authors: C. Rubio-gonzalez, J.j. MasonAbstract:The elastodynamic response of an infinite orthotropic material with a semi-infinite crack propagating at constant speed under the action of concentrated loads on the crack faces is examined. Solution for the stress intensity factor history around the crack tip is found for the loading modes I and II. Laplace and Fourier transforms along with the Wiener-Hopf technique are employed to solve the equations of motion. The asymptotic expression for the stress near the crack tip is analyzed which lead to a closed-form solution of the dynamic stress intensity factor. It is found that the stress intensity factor for the propagating crack is proportional to the stress intensity factor for a stationary crack by a factor similar to the universal function k(v) from the Isotropic Case. Results are presented for orthotropic materials as well as for the Isotropic Case.

many node many link spinfoam the homogeneous and Isotropic Case
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2011Co-Authors: Francesca VidottoAbstract:I compute the Lorentzian EPRL/FK/KKL spinfoam vertex amplitude at the first order for regular graphs, with an arbitrary number of links and nodes, and coherent states peaked on a homogeneous and Isotropic geometry. This form of the amplitude can be applied for example to a dipole with an arbitrary number of links or to the 4-simplex given by the complete graph on five nodes. All the resulting amplitudes have the same support, independently of the graph used, in the large-j (large-volume) limit. This implies that they all yield the Friedmann equation: I show this in the presence of the cosmological constant. This result indicates that in the semiclassical limit, quantum corrections in spinfoam cosmology do not come from just refining the graph, but rather from relaxing the large-j limit.

tunneling in quantum wires exact solution of the spin Isotropic Case
Physical Review B, 1997Co-Authors: F Lesage, H Saleur, P SimonettiAbstract:We show that the problem of impurity tunneling in a Luttinger liquid of electrons with spin is solvable in the spin Isotropic Case (g{sub {sigma}}=2, g{sub {rho}} arbitrary). The resulting integrable model is similar to a two-channel anIsotropic Kondo model, but with the impurity spin in a {open_quotes}cyclic representation{close_quotes} of the quantum algebra su(2){sub q} associated with the anisotropy. Using exact, nonperturbative techniques we study the renormalization-group flow, and compute the dc conductance. As expected from the analysis of Kane and Fisher we find that the IR fixed point corresponds to two separate leads. We also prove an exact duality between the UV and IR expansions of the current at vanishing temperature. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

behavior of unbound granular materials part i Isotropic Case
Computers and Geotechnics, 2003Co-Authors: Rabah Bouzidi, L Coulibaly, P JouveAbstract:Abstract The paper discusses the modeling of the behavior of unbound granular materials. A representative approach that highlights some salient features of the behavior is proposed. This approach is essentially based on experimental results and the study is extended to the construction of the elastic potential from test results. to complete the analysis, two no-linear elastic models involving 3 parameters are proposed. In the construction of these models, two important aspects—the accuracy and the numerical stability—are analyzed.
