full size image thus, we need to be able to model 4th-rank tensor random fields, pointwise taking values in any crystal class. while the crystal orientations from grain to grain are random, they are not spatially independent of each other—the assignment of crystal properties over the tessella...
The formulation introduces the fractal dimension of the heterogeneous displacement gradient of the micro-medium, a length describing the overall size of the structure, and the lower cutoff of the scaling law. The physical interpretation of the lower cutoff is the lower limit of applicability of the...

[3] In the past four decades, numerous models (either empirical or theoretical) with different complexities have been proposed and applied to simulate the hysteresis of capillarity. These models include the empirical models based on geometric scaling [e.g., Scott et al., 1983; Parker and Lenha...
equations of momentum, but they then apply the methods of continuum thermodynamics (Halphen, Nguyen, 1975, Germain, Nguyen, Suquet, 1983) through the definition of a global potential energy and a global dissipation potential which produce a formulation of the constitutive laws at the structure ...
In oilfield or shale gas fracturing, scale inhibitors are typically continuously injected via capillary or subsea umbilical tubes to the tree or downhole depending on the location and severity of the scaling risks, or periodic scale squeeze treatments may be required to place the inhibitor in the ...
Differential diffusion equations are not presently known when $a<\infty$, nor is the integro-differential form of the generalized transport equation. Monte Carlo simulations are performed in $d=2$, as a model for transport on random surfaces, to explore scaling behavior of transmittance $T$ ...
Predictions of the forces transmitted by the redundant force-bearing structures in the knee are often performed using optimization methods considering only moment equipollence as a result of simplified knee modeling without ligament contributions. The current study aimed to investigate the influence of mo...
GHD recasts the infinite set of (broken) conservation laws (1.1) into a family parametrised by a continuous “spectral” parameter\thetainstead of the discrete indexi; we denote the conserved densities in real space, spectral space, and time as\rho (x,\theta ,t). The spectral parameter en...
In practical development of unconventional reservoirs, fracture networks are a highly conductive transport media for subsurface fluid flow. Therefore, it i
