We present a new penalty term approximating the Ciarlet–Nečas condition (global invertibility of deformations) as a soft constraint for hyperelastic materials. For non-simple materials including a suitable higher-order term in the elastic energy, we prove that the penalized functionals converge to the original functional subject to the Ciarlet–Nečas condition. Moreover, the penalization can be chosen in such a way that for all low-energy deformations, self-interpenetration is avoided completely already at all sufficiently small finite values of the penalization parameter. We also present numerical experiments in two dimensions illustrating our theoretical results and provide own MATLAB code available for download and testing.

AbstractIn this paper, we show that certain trigonometric polynomial shearlets which are special cases of directional de la Vallée Poussin-type wavelets are able to detect step discontinuities along boundary curves of periodic characteristic functions. Motivated by recent results for discrete shearlets in two dimensions, we provide lower and upper estimates for the magnitude of the corresponding inner products. In the proof, we use localization properties of trigonometric polynomial shearlets in the time and frequency domain and, among other things, bounds for certain Fresnel integrals. Moreover, we give numerical examples which underline the theoretical results.

The Rewriting Calculus (ρ-calculus, for short) was introduced at the end of the 1990s and fully integrates term-rewriting and λ-calculus. The rewrite rules, acting as elaborated abstractions, their application and the structured results obtained are first class objects of the calculus. The evaluation mechanism, which is a generalisation of beta-reduction, relies strongly on term matching in various theories.In this paper we propose an extension of the ρ-calculus, called ρg-calculus, that handles structures with cycles and sharing rather than simple terms. This is obtained by using recursion constraints in addition to the standard ρ-calculus matching constraints, which leads to a term-graph representation in an equational style. Like in the ρ-calculus, the transformations are performed by explicit application of rewrite rules as first-class entities. The possibility of expressing sharing and cycles allows one to represent and compute over regular infinite entities.We show that the ρg-calculus, under suitable linearity conditions, is confluent. The proof of this result is quite elaborate, due to the non-termination of the system and the fact that ρg-calculus-terms are considered modulo an equational theory. We also show that the ρg-calculus is expressive enough to simulate first-order (equational) left-linear term-graph rewriting and α-calculus with explicit recursion (modelled using a letrec-like construct).

This is the second of two articles by the authors dealing with asymptotic expansions for forced-convection heat or mass transfer to laminar flows. It is shown here how the method of the first paper (Acrivos & Goddard 1965), which was used to derive a higher-order term in the large Péclet number expansion for heat or mass transfer to small Reynolds number flows, can yield equally well higher-order terms in both the large and the small Prandtl number expansions for heat transfer to laminar boundary-layer flows. By means of this method an exact expression for the first-order correction to Lighthill's (1950) asymptotic formula for heat transfer at large Prandtl numbers, as well as an additional higher-order term for the small Prandtl number expansion of Morgan, Pipkin & Warner (1958), are derived. The results thus obtained are applicable to systems with non-isothermal surfaces and arbitrary planar or axisymmetric flow geometries. For the latter geometries a derivation is given of a higher-order term in the Péclet number expansion which arises from the curvature of the thermal layer for small Prandtl numbers. Finally, some applications of the results to ‘similarity’ flows are also presented.

Recent developments in the context of minimum residual finite element methods are paving the way for designing quasi-optimal discretisation methods in non-standard function spaces, such as L q -type Sobolev spaces. For q → 1, these methods have demonstrated huge potential in avoiding the notorious Gibbs phenomena, i.e., the occurrence of spurious non-physical oscillations near thin layers and jump discontinuities. In this work we provide theoretical results that explain some of the numerical observations. In particular, we investigate the Gibbs phenomena for L q -best approximations of discontinuities in finite element spaces with 1 ≤ q < ∞. We prove sufficient conditions on meshes in one and two dimensions such that over- and undershoots vanish in the limit q → 1. Moreover, we include examples of meshes such that Gibbs phenomena remain present even for q = 1 and demonstrate that our results can be used to design meshes so as to eliminate the Gibbs phenomenon.

A description of stress and displacement fields by means of the Williams power series using also higher-order terms is the focus of this paper. Coefficients of this series are determined via the over-deterministic method from the results of conventional finite element (FE) analysis. A study is conducted into the selection of the FE node set whose results are processed in this regression technique. Coefficients up to the twelfth term were determined with high precision. The effect of the position of the FE node set on the accuracy of the values of the higher-order term coefficients is reported.

A serious discrepancy exists between the experimental and theoretical results on the deflection of an electron beam passing parallel to, and just outside, the flat face of a crystal. In a previous paper we reported that for a beam of diameter about 15Å traversing the face of a small gold crystal within a distance of 20Å or less, the central spot of the diffraction pattern is seen to be displaced through angles of up to 10-2 radians. Similar observations had been made for MgO crystals. Rough agreement with the observations could be obtained by assuming the beam to be deflected by a potential field extending into the vacuum and having the formwhere ϕo is the inner potential of the crystal and A, B and C are positive constants. This model for the potential field is based on the assumption of an image force modified for small x by a second order term.
