Straightening of a wavy strip: An elastic-plastic contact problem including snap-through
The nonlinear behavior of a wave like deformed metal strip during the levelling process were calculated. Elastic-plastic material behavior as well as nonlinearities due to large deformations were considered. The considered problem lead to a combined stability and contact problem. It is shown that, despite the initially concentrated loading, neglecting the change of loading conditions due to altered contact domains may lead to a significant error in the evaluation of the nonlinear behavior and particularly to an underestimation of the stability limit load. The stability was examined by considering the load deflection path and the behavior of a load-dependent current stiffness parameter in combination with the determinant of the current stiffness matrix

On the Optimal Space Complexity of Consensus for Anonymous Processes
The optimal space complexity of consensus in shared memory is a decades-old
open problem. For a system of processes, no algorithm is known that uses a
sublinear number of registers. However, the best known lower bound due to Fich,
Herlihy, and Shavit requires registers.
The special symmetric case of the problem where processes are anonymous (run
the same algorithm) has also attracted attention. Even in this case, the best
lower and upper bounds are still and . Moreover, Fich,
Herlihy, and Shavit first proved their lower bound for anonymous processes, and
then extended it to the general case. As such, resolving the anonymous case
might be a significant step towards understanding and solving the general
problem.
In this work, we show that in a system of anonymous processes, any consensus
algorithm satisfying nondeterministic solo termination has to use
read-write registers in some execution. This implies an lower bound
on the space complexity of deterministic obstruction-free and randomized
wait-free consensus, matching the upper bound and closing the symmetric case of
the open problem
Magnetic Bound States in Dimerized Quantum Spin Systems
Magnetic bound states are a general phenomenon in low dimensional
antiferromagnets with gapped singlet states. Using Raman scattering on three
compounds as dedicated examples we show how exchange topology, dimensionality,
defects and thermal fluctuations influence the properties and the spectral
weight of these states.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, proceedings of the SCES'98, Paris, to be published

Long-term evolution of massive star explosions
We examine simulations of core-collapse supernovae in spherical symmetry. Our
model is based on general relativistic radiation hydrodynamics with
three-flavor Boltzmann neutrino transport. We discuss the different supernova
phases, including the long-term evolution up to 20 seconds after the onset of
explosion during which the neutrino fluxes and mean energies decrease
continuously. In addition, the spectra of all flavors become increasingly
similar, indicating the change from charged- to neutral-current dominance.
Furthermore, it has been shown recently by several groups independently, based
on sophisticated supernova models, that collective neutrino flavor oscillations
are suppressed during the early mass-accretion dominated post-bounce evolution.
Here we focus on the possibility of collective flavor flips between electron
and non-electron flavors during the later, on the order of seconds, evolution
after the onset of an explosion with possible application for the
nucleosynthesis of heavy elements.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, conference proceeding, HANSE 2011 worksho

The Spectator Electromagnetic Effect on Charged Pion Spectra in Peripheral Ultrarelativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
We estimate the electromagnetic effect of the spectator charge on the
momentum spectra of and produced in peripheral Pb+Pb collisions
at SPS energies. We find that the effect is large and results in strongly
varying structures in the dependence of the ratio,
especially at low transverse momenta where a deep valley in the above ratio is
predicted at 0.15 -- 0.20.
It appears that the effect depends on initial conditions. Thus, it provides
new information on the space and time evolution of the non-perturbative pion
creation process.Comment: 20 pages and 8 figure
