SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 60, No. 2 (Dec., 1999 - Feb., 2000), pp. 664-678 (15 pages) In this paper we analyze hypersingular integral equations of the Peierls type specified on the ...

The relaxed state of a type of topological defect (screw dislocation) located in a dispersive (non-local) elastic solid is discussed from a viewpoint of gauge field theory. The starting point of this ...

Every material can bend and break. Through nearly a century's worth of research, scientists have had a pretty good understanding of how and why. But, according to new findings by materials science and ...
