Films and molds of nematic polymer materials are notorious for heterogeneity in the orientational distribution of the rigid rod or platelet macromolecules. Predictive tools for structure length scales generated by shear-dominated processing are vitally important: both during processing because of flow feedback phenomena such as shear thinning or thickening, and postprocessing since gradients in...

This work consists in a numerically evaluation of elastic fields distribution, caused by intrinsic dislocation networks placed at a nanometric trilayers interfaces, in order to estimate their influence on the surface topology during heterostructure operation. The organization of nanostructures is ensured by the knowledge of different elastic fields caused by buried dislocation networks and calc...

In this paper, we establish an optimal trace regularity theorem, also known as the hidden regularity theorem [L2], for the anisotropic linear elasticity equation on a bounded domain Ω with Lipschitz boundary. In its simplest form it provides a space-time L estimate for the trace of the normal derivative for the solution. Over the years, such sharp trace regularity theorems have proven to be cru...
