Compatibility of Martensitic Microstructures in Polycrystals

John M. Ball, Myrto Galanopoulou

The paper studies martensitic microstructures in polycrystals, focussing on their compatibility across grain boundaries. After a reduction to the case of a planar grain boundary, t…

A nonlinear elasticity model in computer vision

John M. Ball, Christopher L. Horner

The purpose of this paper is to analyze a nonlinear elasticity model introduced by the authors for comparing two images, regarded as bounded open subsets of together with as…

Extension of convex functions from a hyperplane to a half-space

John M. Ball, Christopher L. Horner

It is shown that a possibly infinite-valued proper lower semicontinuous convex function on has an extension to a convex function on the half-space ${\mathbb R}^n\ti…

Axisymmetry of critical points for the Onsager functional

John M. Ball

A simple proof is given of the classical result due to Fatkullin and Slastikov (2005), Liu, Zhang and Zhang (2005) that critical points for the Onsager functional with the Maier-Sa…

Quasistatic nonlinear viscoelasticity and gradient flows

John M. Ball, Yasemin Şengül

We consider the equation of motion for one-dimensional nonlinear viscoelasticity of strain-rate type under the assumption that the stored-energy function is -convex, which allow…
