The mechanics of a chain or ring of spherical magnets
Cameron L. Hall, Dominic Vella, Alain Goriely
Strong magnets, such as neodymium-iron-boron magnets, are increasingly being manufactured as spheres. Because of their dipolar characters, these spheres can easily be arranged into…
Magnetic chains: From self-buckling to self-assembly
Dominic Vella, Emmanuel du Pontavice, Cameron L. Hall +1
Spherical neodymium-iron-boron magnets are perman-ent magnets that can be assembled into a variety of structures due to their high magnetic strength. A one-dimensional chain of the…
Nonlinear Correction to the Euler Buckling Formula for Compressed Cylinders with Guided-Guided End Conditions
Riccardo De Pascalis, Michel Destrade, Alain Goriely
Euler's celebrated buckling formula gives the critical load for the buckling of a slender cylindrical column with radius and length as \[ N / (π^3 B^2) = (E/4)(B/L)^2,…
Scalar evolution equations for shear waves in incompressible solids: A simple derivation of the Z, ZK, KZK, and KP equations
Michel Destrade, Alain Goriely, Giuseppe Saccomandi
We study the propagation of two-dimensional finite-amplitude shear waves in a nonlinear pre-strained incompressible solid, and derive several asymptotic amplitude equations in a si…
