چکیده
We consider a model for the motion of phase interface in an elastic medium, example, twin boundary martensite. The is given by semilinear parabolic equation with fractional Laplacian as regularizing operator, stemming from interaction front its environment. We show that presence randomly distributed, localized obstacles leads to threshold phenomenon, i.e., stationary solutions exist up positive, critical driving force leading stick-slip behaviour boundary. main result proved explicit construction viscosity supersolution evolution and based on percolation obstacle sites. Furthermore, we derive homogenization such fronts case half-Laplacian pinning regime.

Nonaffine correlations in random elastic media.
Materials characterized by spatially homogeneous elastic moduli undergo affine distortions when subjected to external stress at their boundaries, i.e., their displacements from a uniform reference state grow linearly with position , and their strains are spatially constant. Many materials, including all macroscopically isotropic amorphous ones, have elastic moduli that vary randomly with positi...
متن کاملSpatial threshold in amplifying random media.
We study experimentally as well as numerically the transport and generation of light in multiple scattering media with optical gain. By imaging the spatial distribution of light escaping from the side of the sample, the propagation depth is analyzed. Far below and far above random laser threshold, the spatial profile of emission light is independent of pump intensity, while around threshold, th...
متن کاملTransport Equations for Elastic and Other Waves in Random Media
We derive and analyze transport equations for the energy density of waves of any kind in a random medium. The equations take account of nonuniformities of the background medium, scattering by random inhomogeneities, polarization e ects, coupling of di erent types of waves, etc. We also show that di usive behavior occurs on long time and distance scales and we determine the di usion coe cients. ...
متن کاملHomogenized Elastic Properties of Graphene for Small Deformations
In this paper, we provide the quantification of the linear and non-linear elastic mechanical properties of graphene based upon the judicious combination of molecular mechanics simulation results and homogenization methods. We clarify the influence on computed results by the main model features, such as specimen size, chirality of microstructure, the effect of chosen boundary conditions (imposed...
متن کاملRelaxation dynamics of an elastic string in random media.
We investigate numerically the relaxation dynamics of an elastic string in two-dimensional random media by thermal fluctuations starting from a flat configuration. Measuring spatial fluctuations of its mean position, we find that the correlation length grows in time asymptotically as xi approximately (ln t)1/chi . This implies that the relaxation dynamics is driven by thermal activations over r...
