    Notes: Abstract Using the method of separation of variables, an exact solution is constructed for some boundary value and boundary-contact problems of thermoelastic equilibrium of one- and multilayer bodies bounded by the coordinate surfaces of generalized cylindrical coordinates ρ, α, z. ρ, α are the orthogonal coordinates on the plane and z is the linear coordinate. The body, occupying the domain Ω = {ρ0 〈 ρ 〈 ρ1, α0 〈 α 〈 α1, 0 〈 z 〈 z 1}, is subjected to the action of a stationary thermal field and surface disturbances (such as stresses, displacements, or their combinations) for z = 0 and z = z 1. Special type homogeneous conditions are given on the remainder of the surface. The elastic body is assumed to be transversally isotropic with the plane of isotropy z = const and nonhomogeneous along z. The same assumption is made for the layers of the multilayer body which contact along z = const.

    Notes: Abstract A piece wise-homogeneous plane made up of twodifferent materials and reinforced by an elastic unclusion is considered on a semi-finite section where the different materials join. Vertical and horizontal forces are applied to the inclusion which haz a variable thichness and a variable elasticity modulus. Under certain conditions the problem is reduced to integrodifferential equations of third order. The solution is constructed effectively by applying the methods of theory of analytic functions to a boundary value problem of the Carleman type for a strip. Asymptotic estimates of normal contact stress are obtained.

    Notes: Abstract The existence and uniqueness of a solution of the first, the second and the third plane boundary value problem are considered for the basic homogeneous equations of statics in the theory of elastic mixtures. Applying the general Kolosov–Muskhelishvili representations from [1], these problems can be split and reduced to the first and the second boundary value problem for an elliptic equation which structurally coincides with the equation of statics of an isotropic elastic body.

    Notes: Abstract Green's functions are derived for the in-plane deformation due to an in-plane point force and edge dislocation acting at a point in a plane of two joined semi-infinite anisotropic plates. The Lekhnitskii's complex potential approach is used, and a general expression of the solutions is obtained in closed-form. Including the case of an isotropic-anisotropic two-phase medium and the case of an isotropic-isotropic two-phase medium, the solutions are given for all possible combinations of materials with either s1 ≠ s2 or S1=s2, where si and s2 are the roots of the characteristic equation of the material.

    Notes: Abstract The plane elasticity problem of an infinite plate containing an elliptic inclusion is considered. The Green's functions for a point force and/or a dislocation located outside the inclusion are derived. By using the complex potential approach of Muskhelishvili, the general solutions are obtained in a form of carefully selected functions plus an infinite series. The numerical convergence of the solutions is better than that of Stagni-Lizzio's solutions. The proposed solutions can also be applied to the case of a point force and dislocation acting at a point right on the interface.

    Notes: Abstract Anatomical, kinematic and ablation studies were performed to evaluate the contribution of elasticity in use of the cockroach tarsus (foot) in walking. The distal tarsus (claws and arolium) engages the substrate during the stance phase of walking by the action of a single muscle, the retractor unguis. Kinematic and ablation studies demonstrated that tarsal disengagement occurs at the end of stance, in part via the action of elastic elements at the penultimate tarsal joint. In isolated legs, this joint exhibits very rapid (less than 20 ms duration) recoil to extension when released from the engaged position, and recoil is even more rapid (less than 10 ms) after removal of the retractor tendon (apodeme). The joint also possesses an enlarged cuticular condyle which is the attachment for ligaments and articular membranes, some of which fulfill morphological criteria consistent with the presence of the elastic protein resilin. Measurements of restoring forces generated by joint displacement indicate that they are graded but could readily lift the mass of the distal tarsus. This biomechanical design can facilitate efficient use of the tarsus in walking while under active control by only a single muscle and may also be highly advantageous when cockroaches very rapidly traverse irregular terrain.

    Notes: Abstract The large morphometric variability in biomedical organs requires an accurate fitting method for a pregenerated contour model. We propose a physically based approach to fitting 2D shapes using texture feature vectors and contour operations that allow even automatic contour splitting. To support shrinkage of the contour and obtain a better fit for the concave parts an area force is introduced. When two parts of the active contour approach each other, it divides. The contour undergoing elastic deformation is considered as a set of masses linked by springs with their natural lengths set to zero. We also propose a method for automatic estimation of some model parameters based on a histogram of image forces along a contour.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Si analizzano le configurazioni di equilibrio di una molecola chiusa di DNA per mezzo di un modello di trave sottile, omogenea, isotropa e linearmente elastica, con sezione circolare. La configurazione di equilibrio di una tale trave, inizialmente rettilinea e poi ritorta, soggetta a forze esterne e momenti solo alle sue estremità, è descritta dalla soluzione di equazioni identiche a quelle che governano il moto di un girostato simmetrico in rotazione intorno ad un punto fisso in un campo gravitazionale (l'analogie di Kirchhoff). Per poter rappresentare l'equilibrio del cappio di DNA, il modello di trave deve essere racchiuso in un anello, Il corrispondente problema al contorno consiste in un sistema di quattro equazioni nonlineari rispetto a quattro parametri. Le soluzioni del problema fuori del piano vengono ottenute tramite l'analisi perturbativa ed una procedura di continuazione al variare di un parametro. Si discutono le modifiche di configurazione del sistema per diversi valori dei parametri.
    Notes: Abstract The equilibrium shapes of a closed DNA are investigated by employing a model of a thin, homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic rod of circular cross section. An equilibrium configuration of such an initially straight and twisted rod, submitted to external forces and moments at its ends only, obeys equations identical to those governing the rotation of a symmetric gyrostat spinning about a fixed point in a gravitational field (the Kirchhoff analogy). To represent the equilibrium of the looped DNA, the model rod must be smoothly closed into a ring. The corresponding BVP results in a system of four nonlinear equations with respect to four parameters. The perturbation analysis and the parameter continuation approach are used to find nonplanar solutions. The conformation change is discussed for various values of parameters.

    Notes: Abstract The three basic functionals of potential energy, complementary energy and Hellinger–Prange–Reissner are usedto obtain a rational derivation of Reissner–Mindlinplate models, starting from the three-dimensional theory.We show that the models so obtained are instances of the same plate theory; nevertheless, due to the different constitutive relations governing their response, they mimic the three-dimensional behaviour in three different manners.

    Notes: Abstract The flexure of cantilevers is one of the early problems, if not the first, to have been studied by the elasticity theoreticians. One considers axisymmetrical rods and rectangular section beams. This investigation concerns the case where the maximum stress is constant (Galilei-Euler-Clebsch problem) as well as the case where the curvature of the medium fiber is constant. For both cases, it is shown that the equations to solve belong to the same class. The research was into thickness distributions replying to those conditions under various loading cases. At the free end, the distributions obtained degenerate into a family for which the thickness is null, but contrary to a widely held opinion, they also and naturally give forms showing a finite thickness at this end. The proposed distributions have a general form which has not been found in the literature treating elasticity theory or strength of materials [1-9]. They are extensions of Euler and Clebsch formulas.
