Gradient-dependent plasticity: Formulation and algorithmic aspects

Some Aspects of a Discontinuous Galerkin Formulation for Gradient Plasticity at Finite Strains

Spike timing dependent plasticity: mechanisms, significance, and controversies

Long-term modification of synaptic strength is one of the basic mechanisms of memory formation and activity-dependent refinement of neural circuits. This idea was purposed by Hebb to provide a basis for the formation of a cell assembly. Repetitive correlated activity of pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons can induce long-lasting synaptic strength modification, the direction and extent of whi...

A Strain Range Dependent Cyclic Plasticity Model

Hysteresis loop curves are highly important for numerical simulations of materials deformation under cyclic loadings. The models mainly take account of only the tensile half of the stabilized cycle in hysteresis loop for identification of the constants which don’t vary with accumulation of plastic strain and strain range of the hysteresis loop. This approach may be quite erroneous particularly ...

Detecting quasiconvexity: Algorithmic aspects

The main result of this paper states that for any group G with an automatic structure L with unique representatives one can construct a uniform partial algorithm which detects L-rational subgroups and gives their preimages in L. This provides a practical, not just theoretical, procedure for solving the occurrence problem for such subgroups. 1. Generalized word problem and rational structures on...
