Open AccessCoupled dislocations and fracture dynamics at finite deformation: model derivation, and physical questions
A continuum mechanical model of coupled dislocation based plasticity and fracture at finite deformation is proposed. Motivating questions and target applications of the model are sketched.

Open AccessMid-Surface Scaling Invariance of Some Bending Strain Measures
The mid-surface scaling invariance of bending strain measures proposed in (Int. J. Solids Struct. 37(39):5517–5528, 2000) is discussed in light of the work of (J. Elast. 146(1):83–141, 2021).

Open AccessModeling longitudinal oral health status and pneumonia risk: secondary data analyses of an integrated dental-medical cohort
Mounting evidence indicates potential associations between poor oral health status (OHS) and increased pneumonia risk. Relative pneumonia risk was assessed in the context of longitudinally documented OHS.

Open AccessA Dual Variational Principle for Nonlinear Dislocation Dynamics
A dual variational principle is defined for the nonlinear system of PDE describing the dynamics of dislocations in elastic solids. The dual variational principle accounting for a specified set of initial and b...

Open AccessVector Field Models for Nematic Disclinations
In this paper, a model for defects in nematic liquid crystals that was introduced in Zhang et al. (Physica D Nonlinear Phenom 417:132828, 2021) is studied. In the literature, the setting of many models for def...

Open AccessRotations with Constant \(\mathbf {{\text {curl }}}\) are Constant
We address a problem that extends a fundamental classical result of continuum mechanics from the time of its inception, as well as answers a fundamental question in the recent, modern nonlinear elastic theory ...

Open AccessStructuring, reuse and analysis of electronic dental data using the Oral Health and Disease Ontology
A key challenge for improving the quality of health care is to be able to use a common framework to work with patient information acquired in any of the health and life science disciplines. Patient information...

Open AccessMechanics of moving defects in growing sheets: 3-d, small deformation theory
Growth and other dynamical processes in soft materials can create novel types of mesoscopic defects including discontinuities for the second and higher derivatives of the deformation, and terminating defects f...

Stress of a Spatially Uniform Dislocation Density Field
It can be shown that the stress produced by a spatially uniform dislocation density field in a body comprising a linear elastic material under no loads vanishes. We prove that the same result does not hold in ...

Updates from the Evidence Base Examining Association between Periodontal Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Current Status and Clinical Relevance
Epidemiological surveillance documents an escalating epidemic prevalence of both type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and periodontal disease (PD). The principal goals of this review are to: 1) re-examine the clinical signi...

On Weingarten-Volterra Defects
The kinematic theory of Weingarten-Volterra line defects is revisited, both at small and finite deformations. Existing results are clarified and corrected as needed, and new results are obtained. The primary f...
