What are the constraints placed on the constitutive tensors of elastodynamics by the requirements that the linear elastodynamic system under consideration be both causal (effects succeed causes) and passive (system does not produce energy)? The analogous question has been tackled in other areas but in the case of elastodynamics its treatment is complicated by the higher order tensorial nature of its constitutive relations. In this paper, we clarify the effect of these constraints on highly general forms of the elastodynamic constitutive relations. We show that the satisfaction of passivity (and causality) directly requires that the hermitian parts of the transforms (Fourier and Laplace) of the time derivatives of the constitutive tensors be positive semi-definite. Additionally, the conditions require that the non-hermitian parts of the Fourier transforms of the constitutive tensors be positive semi-definite for positive values of frequency. When major symmetries are assumed these definiteness relations apply simply to the real and imaginary parts of the relevant tensors. For diagonal and one-dimensional problems, these positive semi-definiteness relationships reduce to simple inequality relations over the real and imaginary parts, as they should. Finally, we extend the results to highly general constitutive relations which include the Willis inhomogeneous relations as a special case.

In the previous paper [4] we have studied the prolongations of G-structures to tangent bundles. The purpose of the present paper is to generalize the previous prolongations and to look at them from a wide view as a special case by considering the tangent bundles of higher order. In fact, in some places, the arguments and calculations in [4] are more or less simplified. Since the usual tangent bundle T(M) of a manifold M considers only the first derivatives or first contact elements of M, the previous paper contains, in most parts, only the calculation of derivatives of first order.

The fractional integrals of Bessel-type Fractional Integrals from left-sided and right-sided integrals of fractional order is established on finite and infinite interval of the real-line, half axis and real axis. The Bessel-type fractional derivatives are also established. The properties of Fractional derivatives and integrals are studied. The fractional derivatives of Bessel-type of fractional order on finite of the real-line are studied by graphical representation. Results are direct output of the computer algebra system coded from MATLAB R2011b.

The paper presents a multidimensional generalization of the Schoenberg operators of higher order. The new operators are powerful tools that can be used for approximation processes in many fields of applied sciences. The construction of these operators uses a symmetry regarding the domain of definition. The degree of approximation by sequences of such operators is given in terms of the first and the second order moduli of continuity. Extending certain results obtained by Marsden in the one-dimensional case, the property of preservation of monotonicity and convexity is proved.

The exact theory of linearly elastic beams developed by Ladeve`ze and Ladeve`ze and Simmonds is illustrated using the equations of plane stress for a fully anisotropic elastic body of rectangular shape. Explicit formulas are given for the cross-sectional material operators that appear in the special Saint-Venant solutions of Ladeve`ze and Simmonds and in the overall beamlike stress-strain relations between forces and a moment (the generalized stress) and derivatives of certain one-dimensional displacements and a rotation (the generalized displacement). A new definition is proposed for built-in boundary conditions in which the generalized displacement vanishes rather than pointwise displacements or geometric averages.

Abstract We construct classical theories for scalar fields in arbitrary Carroll spacetimes that are invariant under Carrollian diffeomorphisms and Weyl transformations. When the local symmetries are gauge fixed these theories become Carrollian conformal field theories. We show that generically there are at least two types of such theories: one in which only time derivatives of the fields appear and the other in which both space and time derivatives appear. A classification of such scalar field theories in three (and higher) dimensions up to two derivative order is provided. We show that only a special case of our theories arises in the ultra-relativistic limit of a covariant parent theory.

Having accepted a more generalized form for density-displacement type electron–phonon interaction (EPI) force we studied the simultaneous effect of uniaxial strains and EPI’s screening on the temperature of Bose–Einstein condensation [Formula: see text] of the ideal gas of intersite bipolarons. [Formula: see text] of the ideal gas of intersite bipolarons is calculated as a function of both strain and screening radius for a one-dimensional chain model of cuprates within the framework of Extended Holstein–Hubbard model. It is shown that the chain model lattice comprises the essential features of cuprates regarding of strain and screening effects on transition temperature [Formula: see text] of superconductivity. The obtained values of strain derivatives of [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] are in qualitative agreement with the experimental values of [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] of La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]CuO4 under moderate screening regimes.

This paper will try to overcome two difficulties encountered by the C0 three-node triangular element based on the displacement-based higher-order models. They are (i) transverse shear stresses computed from constitutive equations vanish at the clamped edges, and (ii) it is difficult to accurately produce the transverse shear stresses even using the integration of the three-dimensional equilibrium equation. Invalidation of the equilibrium equation approach ought to attribute to the higher-order derivations of displacement parameters involved in transverse shear stress components after integrating three-dimensional equilibrium equation. Thus, the higher-order derivatives of displacement parameters will be taken out from transverse shear stress field by using the three-field Hu–Washizu variational principle before the finite element procedure is implemented. Therefore, such method is named as the preprocessing method for transverse shear stresses in present work. Because the higher-order derivatives of displacement parameters have been eliminated, a C0 three-node triangular element based on the higher-order zig-zag theory can be presented by using the linear interpolation function. Performance of the proposed element is numerically evaluated by analyzing multilayered sandwich plates with different loading conditions, lamination sequences, material constants and boundary conditions, and it can be found that the present model works well in the finite element framework.

To trace rays very close to the nth electron cyclotron harmonic, we need the mildly relativistic plasma dispersion function and its higher-order derivatives. Expressions for these functions have been obtained as an expansion for nearly perpendicular propagation in a region where computer programs have previously experienced difficulty in accuracy, namely when the magnitude of (c/vt)2 (ω−nωc)/ω is between 1 and 10. In this region, the large-argument expansions are not yet valid, but partial cancellations of terms occur. The expansion is expressed as a sum over derivatives of the ordinary dispersion function Z. New expressions are derived to relate higher-order derivatives of Z to Z itself in this region of concern in terms of a finite series.

In this paper we discuss the flexure of an incomplete tore in the plane of its circular centre-line. We reduce the problem to the determination of two harmonic functions, subject to boundary conditions on the surface of the tore which involve the first two derivatives of the functions. We point out the relation of this solution to the general solution of three-dimensional elasticity problems. The special case of a narrow rectangular cross-section is solved exactly in Appendix II.
