In this paper a new quantity for real tensors, the sign-real spectral radius, is defined and investigated. Various characterizations, bounds and some properties are derived. In certain aspects our quantity shows similar behavior to the spectral radius of a nonnegative tensor. In fact, we generalize the Perron Frobenius theorem for nonnegative tensors to the class of real tensors.

This work deals with the computational modeling of passive myocardial tissue within the framework of mixed, non-linear finite element methods. We consider a recently proposed, convex, anisotropic hyperelastic model that accounts for the locally orthotropic micro-structure of cardiac muscle. A coordinate-free representation of anisotropy is incorporated through physically relevant invariants of ...

an earthquake with the magnitude of 5.9 mw occurred in qeshm island and hormozgan province in november 27th 2005. 3d co-seismic deformation field caused by the earthquake are determined based on the ascending and descending interferograms and azimuth offsets. the peak to peak estimated displacement is about 10 cm in west, 69 cm in north and 22 cm in vertical directions. we apply strain analysis...
