This paper presents a method for implicit stress integration of the Drucker–Prager material model with kinematic hardening. The stress integration of the material model is conducted using the incremental plasticity method, while the kinematic hardening of material is defined using nonlinear Armstrong–Frederick hardening. This type of granular material hardening occurs as a consequence of the cy...

Since 2005 a new powerful invariant of an algebra has emerged using the earlier work of Horvath, Hethelyi, Kulshammer and Murray. The authors studied Morita invariance of a sequence of ideals of the center of a nite dimensional algebra over a eld of nite characteristic. It was shown that the sequence of ideals is actually a derived invariant, and most recently a slightly modied version o...

We examined whether perception of university environment mediated the association between minority status stress and college persistence attitudes after controlling for perceived general stress. Participants were 160 Asian American, African American, and Latino students who attended a predominantly White university. Results of a path model analysis showed that university environment was a signi...

the wiener polarity index wp(g) of a molecular graph g of order n is the number ofunordered pairs of vertices u, v of g such that the distance d(u,v) between u and v is 3. in anearlier paper, some extremal properties of this graph invariant in the class of catacondensedhexagonal systems and fullerene graphs were investigated. in this paper, some new bounds forthis graph invariant are presented....

‎We consider the oscillator group equipped with‎ ‎a biinvariant Lorentzian metric‎. ‎Some geometrical properties of this space and the harmonicity properties of left-invariant vector fields on this space are determined‎. ‎In some cases‎, ‎all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional‎ ‎restricted to vector fields‎. ‎Left-invariant vector fields defining harmonic maps are...
