On Contact Processes in Continuum
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a continuous version of the contact model which is well-known and widely studied in the lattice case. Under certain general assumptions on the infection spreading characteristics we construct the contact process as a Markov process in the configuration space of the system. 2000 AMS Mathematics Subject Classification: 60K35, 60J75, 60J80, 82C21, 82C22

Application of Nano-Contact Mechanics Models in Manipulation of Biological Nano-Particle: FE Simulation
Contact mechanics is related to the deformation study of solids that meet each other at one or more points. The physical and mathematical formulation of the problem is established upon the mechanics of materials and continuum mechanics and focuses on computations involving bodies with different characteristics in static or dynamic contact. Contact mechanics gives essential information for the s...
متن کاملNonlinear diffusion and exclusion processes with contact interactions.
Exclusion processes on a regular lattice are used to model many biological and physical systems at a discrete level. The average properties of an exclusion process may be described by a continuum model given by a partial differential equation. We combine a general class of contact interactions with an exclusion process. We determine that many different types of contact interactions at the agent...

Introduction: Health Care organizations, because of their special nature of Medical Services, impossibility of assessment by customers, and increasing of patients and customer expectation, have to apply different management approach. In recent decade Six Sigma has been considered as systematic and powerful to improve service quality and cost saving. Six Sigma is a statistical and systematic app...
متن کاملA continuum sensitivity method for the design of multi-stage metal forming processes
A novel, e/cient and mathematically rigorous continuum based sensitivity method is introduced that can be used to accurately evaluate the gradients of the objective function and constraints in the optimization-based design of multi-stage deformation processes. Weak sensitivity equilibrium equations are derived for the large deformation of the workpiece in each forming operation. This sensitivit...
متن کاملFriction in inertial granular flows: microscopic and macroscopic origins
Granular media are prevalent in dynamic frictional processes throughout nature and technology, from earthquakes to grain transport. Empirical relations describing macroscopic friction as a function of the inertial number have proven successful in predicting experimentally observed velocity and stress profi les when combined with continuum models. However, these relations and the continuum model...
