TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative parametrization is given for a previous empirical interatomic potential for silicon, designed to more accurately reproduce the elastic properties of silicon, which were poorly described in the earlier potential.
Abstract: An alternative parametrization is given for a previous empirical interatomic potential for silicon. The new potential is designed to more accurately reproduce the elastic properties of silicon, which were poorly described in the earlier potential. The properties of liquid Si are also improved, but energies of surfaces are less accurate. Detailed tests of the new potential are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new parametrization for an effective nonlinear Lagrangian density of relativistic mean field (RMF) theory is proposed, which is able to provide a very good description not only for the properties of stable nuclei but also for those far from the valley of beta stability.

In addition the recently measured superdeformed minimum in the {sup 194}Hg nucleus is reproduced with high accuracy. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

TL;DR: A shape representation technique suitable for tasks that call for recognition of a noisy curve of arbitrary shape at an arbitrary scale or orientation is presented and several evolution and arc length evolution properties of planar curves are discussed.
Abstract: A shape representation technique suitable for tasks that call for recognition of a noisy curve of arbitrary shape at an arbitrary scale or orientation is presented. The method rests on the describing a curve at varying levels of detail using features that are invariant with respect to transformations that do not change the shape of the curve. Three different ways of computing the representation are described. They result in three different representations: the curvature scale space image, the renormalized curvature scale space image, and the resampled curvature scale space image. The process of describing a curve at increasing levels of abstraction is referred to as the evolution or arc length evolution of that curve. Several evolution and arc length evolution properties of planar curves are discussed. >

TL;DR: In this article, a variational formulation and computational aspects of a three-dimensional finite-strain rod model, considered in Part I, are presented, which bypasses the singularity typically associated with the use of Euler angles.
Abstract: The variational formulation and computational aspects of a three-dimensional finite-strain rod model, considered in Part I, are presented. A particular parametrization is employed that bypasses the singularity typically associated with the use of Euler angles. As in the classical Kirchhoff-Love model, rotations have the standard interpretation of orthogonal, generally noncommutative, transformations. This is in contrast with alternative formulations proposed by Argyris et al. [5–8], based on the notion of semitangential rotation. Emphasis is placed on a geometric approach, which proves essential in the formulation of algorithms. In particular, the configuration update procedure becomes the algorithmic counterpart of the exponential map. The computational implementation relies on the formula for the exponential of a skew-symmetric matrix. Consistent linearization procedures are employed to obtain linearized weak forms of the balance equations. The geometric stiffness then becomes generally nonsymmetric as a result of the non-Euclidean character of the configuration space. However, complete symmetry is recovered at an equilibrium configuration, provided that the loading is conservative. An explicit condition for this to be the case is obtained. Numerical simulations including postbuckling behavior and nonconservative loading are also presented. Details pertaining to the implementation of the present formulation are also discussed.
