We present an elementary and systematic discussion on the derivation of continuum theories from atomistic models for studying the elastic deformation of plates, sheets, and rods. The derivation is based on various generalizations of the classical Cauchy-Born rule. In particular, we discuss a so-called local Cauchy-Born rule which is very general and particularly easy to use. As an application, we use the atomistically derived continuum models to study the elastic deformation of carbon nanotubes.
The second-order Sigma-Delta (ΣΔ) scheme with linear quantization rule is analyzed for quantizing finite unit-norm tight frame expansions for Rd. Approximation error estimates are derived, and it is shown that for c...

Fully Polarimetric radar systems are capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving in two orthogonal polarizations. Instantaneous radar polarimetry exploits both polarization modes of a dually-polarized radar transmitter and receiver on a pulse by pulse basis, and can improve the radar detection performance and suppress range sidelobes. In this paper, we extend the use of instantaneous radar polarimetry for radar systems with multiple dually-polarized transmit and receive antennas. Alamouti signal processing is used to coordinate transmission of Golay pairs of phase codes waveforms across polarizations and multiple antennas. The integration of multi-antenna signal processing with instantaneous radar polarimetry can further improve the detection performance, at a computational cost comparable to single channel matched filtering.

We present an equation-free computational approach to the study of the coarse-grained dynamics of finite assemblies of nonidentical coupled oscillators at and near full synchronization. We use coarse-grained observables which account for the (rapidly developing) correlations between phase angles and natural frequencies. Exploiting short bursts of appropriately initialized detailed simulations, we circumvent the derivation of closures for the long-term dynamics of the assembly statistics.

Using a coarse molecular-dynamics (CMD) approach with an appropriate choice of coarse variable (order parameter), we map the underlying effective free-energy landscape for the melting of a crystalline solid. Implementation of this approach provides a means for constructing effective free-energy landscapes of structural transitions in condensed matter. The predictions of the approach for the thermodynamic melting point of a model silicon system are in excellent agreement with those of “traditional” techniques for melting-point calculations, as well as with literature values.

We formulate statistical-mechanical inverse methods in order to determine optimized interparticle interactions that spontaneously produce target many-particle configurations. Motivated by advances that give experimentalists greater and greater control over colloidal interaction potentials, we propose and discuss two computational algorithms that search for optimal potentials for self-assembly of a given target configuration. The first optimizes the potential near the ground state and the second near the melting point. We begin by applying these techniques to assembling open structures in two dimensions (square and honeycomb lattices) using only circularly symmetric pair interaction potentials; we demonstrate that the algorithms do indeed cause self-assembly of the target lattice. Our approach is distinguished from previous work in that we consider (i) lattice sums, (ii) mechanical stability (phonon spectra), and (iii) annealed Monte Carlo simulations. We also devise circularly symmetric potentials that yield chainlike structures as well as systems of clusters.

In this paper, we describe how an active radar/sonar imaging problem may be formulated as a virtual passive sensor array processing problem. We consider an active sensing problem where it is desired to form a range-Doppler image at a slow- time rate, even though the radar/sonar can transmit pulses at a fast time rate. By transmitting pulses at the fast time rate we can estimate the second-order statistics of an ambiguity vector, calculated at a coarse resolution. As we show this ambiguity vector plays the role of an array snapshot vector in passive sensor array processing. The noise free version of this ambiguity vector acts as a signature vector or steering vector, which can be steered around in delay and Doppler at a fine resolution to produce an image. We employ a MVDR-like principle to generate high resolution delay-Doppler images.

We demonstrate that there is no ideal glass transition in a binary hard-disk mixture by explicitly constructing an exponential number of jammed packings with densities spanning the spectrum from the accepted amorphous glassy state to the phase-separated crystal. Thus the configurational entropy cannot be zero for an ideal amorphous glass, presumed distinct from the crystal in numerous theoretical and numerical estimates in the literature. This objection parallels our previous critique of the idea that there is a most-dense random (close) packing for hard spheres [Torquato et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2064 (2000)].
