Drilling couples and refined constitutive equations in the resultant geometrically non-linear theory of elastic shells
PublicationIt is well known that distribution of displacements through the shell thickness is non-linear, in general. We introduce a modified polar decomposition of shell deformation gradient and a vector of deviation from the linear displacement distribution. When strains are assumed to be small, this allows one to propose an explicit definition of the drilling couples which is proportional to tangential components of the deviation vector....

On modelling and non-linear elasto-plastic analysis of thin shells with deformable junctions
PublicationThe undeformed base surface of the irregular thin shell is modelled by the union of a finite number of regular smooth surface elements joined together along spatial curvilinear surface edges.

Automatic Correction of Non-Anechoic Antenna Measurements using Low-Pass Filters
PublicationPrototype measurements belong to key steps in the development of antenna structures. They are normally performed in expensive facilities, such as anechoic chambers (ACs). Alternatively, antenna performance can be extracted (at a low cost) in non-anechoic conditions upon appropriate post-processing. Unfortunately, existing correction algorithms are difficult to set up and prone to failure, which limits their practical usefulness....

Linear game non-contextuality and Bell inequalities—a graph-theoretic approach
PublicationWe study the classical and quantum values of a class of one-and two-party unique games, that generalizes the well-known XOR games to the case of non-binary outcomes.
