Stress singularity of a notch in a higher-order elastic solid under anti-plane deformation by Wu, Mao See

“…Specifically, for a given notch angle the stress exponent becomes more negative with decrease in the first Lamé constant λ and the third-order elastic constant n, and with the increase in the magnitude of the negative third-order constant m, while it varies non-monotonically with the second Lamé constant (shear modulus) µ.These results have significant implications for notch-like defects in soft solids, e.g., replacement tissues, industrial robots and devices in biomedical applications.…”

The structure of hadrons and other potential phases of QCD by Schindler, Stella T.

“…Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is a mathematical theory describing subatomic particles called quarks and gluons, and the strong force that binds them together into protons and neutrons. This thesis centers on two major thrusts of modern QCD research: (1) uncovering the inner quark and gluon structure of the proton, and (2) mapping out other phases of matter that quarks and gluons form as we vary pressure and temperature. …”
