Shear band dynamics from a mesoscopic modeling of plasticity

Mesoscopic modeling for nucleic acid chain dynamics.

To gain a deeper insight into cellular processes such as transcription and translation, one needs to uncover the mechanisms controlling the configurational changes of nucleic acids. As a step toward this aim, we present here a mesoscopic-level computational model that provides a new window into nucleic acid dynamics. We model a single-stranded nucleic as a polymer chain whose monomers are the n...

Mechanical noise dependent Aging and Shear Banding behavior of a mesoscopic model of amorphous plasticity

Mesoscopic colonization of a spectral band

We consider the unitary matrix model in the limit where the size of the matrices become infinite and in the critical situation when a new spectral band is about to emerge. In previous works the number of expected eigenvalues in a neighborhood of the band was fixed and finite, a situation that was termed “birth of a cut” or “first colonization”. We now consider the transitional regime where this...

Comparison of plasticity and stiffness of steel shear walls with composite steel plate shear wall

The steel shear wall and composite steel plate shear wall is introduced in recent three decade and is considered and is spread rapidly. Composite steel plate shear wall which is made of a layer of thin steel sheet with coating of reinforced concrete in one or both sides of steel palate is considered a third generation of resistance shear walls against lateral loads that in addition to increasin...
