Torsion of elastic and poroelastic circular shaft of radially inhomogeneous, cylindrically orthotropic materials is studied with emphasis on the end effects example for extruder. To examine the conjecture of Saint-Venant’s torsion, we consider torsion of circular shaft with one end fixed and the other end free on which tractions that results in a pure torque are prescribed arbitrarily over the fr...

In this paper, we first consider (po-)torsion free and principally weakly (po-)flat $S$-posets, specifically  we discuss when (po-)torsion freeness implies principal weak (po-)flatness. Furthermore, we give a counterexample to show that Theorem 3.22 of Shi is incorrect. Thereby we present a correct version of this theorem. Finally, we characterize pomonoids over which all cyclic $S$-posets are ...

In the variety of all groups, A. I. Mal’cev [5] proved in 1949 that the free product of two residually torsion-free nilpotent groups is again residually torsion-free nilpotent. This paper is motivated by the analogous question in the variety of metabelian groups: can we determine whether free metabelian products of residually torsion-free nilpotent metabelian groups are residually torsion-free ...
