Temporal nature of plasticity in the design of materials

A full spectrum of materials responses to dynamic loading and observed temporal effects of plasticity from a united viewpoint are analyzed. The relaxation model of plasticity with characteristic time idea is capable to effectively predict the instability of the stress-strain dependencies on strain rates. It is shown that empirical models cannot simultaneously simulate the appearance and disappearance of the yield drop unlike the relaxation model of plasticity presented in the paper

From the exclusive photoproduction of heavy quarkonia at HERA to the EDDE at TeVatron and LHC

Exclusive photoproduction of heavy quarkonia at HERA is analyzed in the framework of the Regge-eikonal approach together with the nonrelativistic bound state formalism. Total and differential cross-sections for the process $\gamma+p\to (Q\bar{Q})_{1S}+p$ are calculated. The model predicts cross-sections of Exclusive Double Diffractive Events (EDDE) at TeVatron and LHC.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, reference is adde
