Modelling the shear-tension coupling of woven engineering fabrics
An approach to incorporate the coupling between the shear compliance and in-plane tension of woven engineering fabrics, in finite-element-based numerical simulations, is described. The method involves the use of multiple input curves that are selectively fed into a hypoelastic constitutive model that has been developed previously for engineering fabrics. The selection process is controlled by the current value of the in-plane strain along the two fibre directions using a simple algorithm. Model parameters are determined from actual experimental data, measured using the Biaxial Bias Extension test. An iterative process involving finite element simulations of the experimental test is used to normalise the test data for use in the code. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is evaluated and shown to provide qualitatively good predictions
The Deuteron Spin Structure Functions in the Bethe-Salpeter Approach and the Extraction of the Neutron Structure Function
The nuclear effects in the spin-dependent structure functions and
are calculated in the relativistic approach based on the Bethe-Salpeter
equation with a realistic meson-exchange potential.
The results of calculations are compared with the non-relativistic
calculations. The problem of extraction of the neutron spin structure function,
, from the deuteron data is discussed.Comment: (Talk given at the SPIN'94 International Symposium, September 15-22,

Elliptic operators in odd subspaces
An elliptic theory is constructed for operators acting in subspaces defined
via odd pseudodifferential projections. Subspaces of this type arise as
Calderon subspaces for first order elliptic differential operators on manifolds
with boundary, or as spectral subspaces for self-adjoint elliptic differential
operators of odd order. Index formulas are obtained for operators in odd
subspaces on closed manifolds and for general boundary value problems. We prove
that the eta-invariant of operators of odd order on even-dimesional manifolds
is a dyadic rational number.Comment: 27 page
