Anisotropy of the resistivity in the a-b plane of a superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-δ single crystal
(1996)We have measured the in-plane longitudinal resistivities pa and pb as functions of temperature and magnetic field. The measurements were all made on the same detwinned single crystal of YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO). Defining Tc to ...

Dynamic responses in nanocomposite hydrogels
(2006)The shear response of a series of polymer-clay gels has been investigated by means of rheology and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The gels have the same composition by mass but different polymer molecular weights ...

Dynamic responses in polymer-clay gels
(2005)The shear orientation of three polymer-clay gels has been investigated by means of small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The gels have the same polymer and clay concentrations but different polymer molecular weight. The ...

Highly anisotropic crystal growth and thermoelectric properties of K 2Bi 8-xSb xSe 13 solid solutions: Band gap anomaly at low x
(2002)The thermoelectric properties of solid solutions of the type β-K 2Bi 8-xSb xSe 13 (0<x<8) were studied with respect to thermal behavior, band gap variation, and charge transport properties as a function of x. At x values ...

Identification and reconstruction of a small leak zone in a pipe by a spectral element method
(2006)This paper deals with the identification of a zone permitting fluid to leak out of a drain. Using the analogy with crack identification by boundary measurements, we give uniqueness and stability results and we propose an ...

Multilevel characterizations of anisotropic function spaces
(2005)We present a general method for extending decomposition systems of L 2(ℝd) to decomposition systems for the anisotropic Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces, Fp,qα,s and Bp,qα,s, respectively, for the full range of the indexes. ...

Multiscale modelling of solid tumour growth: the effect of collagen micromechanics
(2016)Here we introduce a model of solid tumour growth coupled with a multiscale biomechanical description of the tumour microenvironment, which facilitates the explicit simulation of fibre–fibre and tumour–fibre interactions. ...

Multiscale, structure-based modeling for the elastic mechanical behavior of arterial walls
(2007)Passive elastic behavior of arterial wall remains difficult to model. Although phenomenological and structural models exist, the question of how the three-dimensional network structure of the collagen in the artery determines ...

Rapid shear of initially anisotropic turbulence in a rotating frame?
(2007)In the present study, we investigate, using inviscid rapid distortion theory, the evolution of sheared turbulence in a rotating frame as a function of the rotation rate (including stable, transitional, and unstable regimes), ...

Representing anisotropy of two-point second-order turbulence velocity correlations using structure tensors
(2008)A locally homogeneous representation for the two-point, second-order turbulent velocity fluctuation Rij(x,r) = 〈u′i(x)u′i(x+r)〉 is formulated in terms of three linearly independent structure tensors [Kassinos et al., J. ...

A simplified structure-based model using standard turbulence scale equations: computation of rotating wall-bounded flows
(2006)Two linear eddy-viscosity models, the v2-f and k-ω models, have been combined with an algebraic structure-based algorithm for the evaluation of the Reynolds stresses. This closure was originally designed as an integral ...
