AbstractAn approximation, in the sense of $$\Gamma $$ Γ -convergence and in any dimension $$d\ge 1$$ d ≥ 1 , of Griffith-type functionals, with p-growth ($$p>1$$ p > 1 ) in the symmetrized gradient, is provided by means of a sequence of non-local integral functionals depending on the average of the symmetrized gradients on small balls.

The theory of dissociative recombination (and the closely related processes of associative ionization and mutual quenching) is developed by using the Feshbach projection operator technique. An expression is given for the cross-section into a specific final state of the dissociating atoms. It is found that the complex potential energy corresponding to a resonance state is non-local in nature and the implications of using a local approximation are considered. The theory of photodissociation through resonances is developed with special reference to the energy spectrum of the products. It is shown that dissociative attachment can be studied without explicitly constructing the intermediate state.

A quadrilateral element with smoothed curvatures for Reissner-Mindlin structure plates is proposed. A curvature matrix at an arbitrary point is normalized by a non-local approximation over a smoothing function. By choosing a constant smoothed function and applying the divergence theorem, the bending stiffness matrix calculated on boundaries of smoothing elements (smoothing cells) instead of on their interior. Several numerical results are analyzed to demonstrate high reliability and free locking of the proposed method.
