We investigated, using quasi-elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, the slow single-particle dynamics of water confined in laboratory synthesized nanoporous silica matrices, MCM-41-S, with pore diameters ranging from 10 to 18 Å. Inside the pores of these matrices, the freezing process of water is strongly inhibited down to 160 K. We analysed the quasi-elastic part of the neutron scattering s...

Within the thermodynamic framework with internal variables, the classical Hamilton’s principle for elastic bodies is extended to inelastic bodies composed of materials whose free energy densities are point functions of internal variables, or the so-termed Green-inelastic bodies, subject to finite deformation and non-conservative external forces. Yet this general result holds true even without t...

This article deals with a viscoplastic material model of overstress type. The model is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and inelastic part. An additional multiplicative decomposition of inelastic part is used to describe a nonlinear kinematic hardening of Armstrong-Frederick type. Two implicit time-stepping methods are adopted for numerical integr...

The hydrodynamic Burnett equations and the associated transport coefficients are exactly evaluated for generalized inelastic Maxwell models. In those models, the one-particle distribution function obeys the inelastic Boltzmann equation, with a velocity-independent collision rate proportional to the γ power of the temperature. The pressure tensor and the heat flux are obtained to second order in...

In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), achieving fairness and increasing channel utilization are the important design goals of scheduling. However, these two goals contradict with each other. In this paper, a fair-scheduling technique for inelastic traffic flows in MANET is proposed. The network traffic is differentiated into two categories as elastic and inelastic flows. In this technique, data p...

A classical problem in power systems is to allocate in-coming (elastic or inelastic) demands without violating the operating constraints of electric networks in an online fashion. Although online decision problems have been well-studied in the literature, a unique challenge arising in power systems is the presence of non-linear constraints, a departure from the traditional settings. A particula...
