Reflectionless truncation of target area for axially symmetric anisotropic elasticity

Remarks on axially and centrally symmetric elasticity problems

The solutions to axially and centrally symmetric Lamé problems are derived within the displacement, stress and strain-based approach by the specification of the general boundary conditions which encompass all possible combinations of kinematic and kinetic conditions at the inner and outer boundaries. It is shown that the mathematical structure of the governing differential equations in the stra...

Quasi-axially symmetric stellarators.

Confinement of a plasma for controlled thermonuclear fusion is studied numerically. Toroidal equilibria are considered, with an emphasis on the Modular Helias-like Heliac 2 (MHH2), which is a stellarator of low aspect ratio with just two field periods surrounded by 16 modular coils. The geometry is fully three-dimensional, but there is an axial symmetry of the magnetic structure that is calcula...

Thermophoresis of Axially Symmetric Bodies

Thermophoresis of axially symmetric bodies is investigated to first order in the Knudsen-mimber, Kn. The study is made in the limit where the typical length of the immersed body is small compared to the mean free path. It is shown that in this case, in contrast to what is the case for spherical bodies, the arising thermal force on the body is not in general antiparallel to the temperature gradi...

Dibaryons as Axially Symmetric Skyrmions

Dibaryons configurations are studied in the framework of the bound state soliton model. A generalized axially symmetric ansatz is used to determine the soliton background. We show that once the constraints imposed by the symmetries of the lowest energy torus configuration are satisfied all spurious states are removed from the dibaryon spectrum. In particular, we show that the lowest allowed sta...
