The problem of stress intensification around holes has been discussed and completely solved in the case of isotropic homogeneous materials by many authors. The problem ...

To become proficient problem-solvers, physics students need to form a coherent and flexible understanding of problem situations with which they are confronted. Still, many ...

We develop two- and three-dimensional models for breakdown of metal-loaded dielectrics based on the breakdown of random arrays of perfectly conducting cylinders and spheres ...

We show that the hierarchical model at finite volume has a symmetry group which can be decomposed into rotations and translations as the familiar Poincare groups. Using these ...

Techniques for option valuation, both analytic and numeric, are well-estblished. Many of them cannot be used if the nature of the option is such that knowledge of the future ...

This paper describes an introductory course in Simulation, Visualization, and Modeling given at the University of Western Australia since 1992. The course level is ...

By solving the Laplace equation in an appropriate coordinate frame, simple expressions have been derived for the polarizability per unit area of infinitely long chains of ...

The new possibilities for the research of avoidable regularities in strings (words), offered by Mathematica, are discussed. In addition to the fact that Mathematica is very ...

If any effect takes places for a very short time or it is interrupted at a certain point, it is called an impulse. Although the scientific bibliography of impulsive systems ...

Today, anywhere in the world, an expression such as x^3 + 2003 can be understood by anyone with mathematical training. In centuries past, other methods have been used. This ...
