Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the continuation of the previous one recently published in Symmetry.

The proposed Special Issue (SI) of the journal Symmetry aims to cover the exchange and dissemination of the concept of symmetry in the modeling and analysis of dynamic features occurring in various branches of science including physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering (mechanics, mechatronics, civil engineering, electronics, informatics, bioengineering, etc.).

The approaches based on dynamical symmetry breaking generalize and unify theories developed and employed in the aforementioned sciences under the concept of invariance of the global/local behavior of the points of spacetime, including temporal/spatiotemporal symmetries.

Since a property of the symmetry of the investigated system implies its conservation quantity like energy, linear/angular momentum, electric charge etc., contributions of research based on the mathematical models of nonlinear partial and ordinary differential equations are especially welcome.

The following topics are also included: (i) discrete vs. continuous symmetry breaking; (ii) solitary waves; (iii) symmetry breaking instability; (iv) symmetry exhibited by MEMS/NEMS; (v) arrays of oscillators subjected to electric/magnetic/thermal fields; (vi) time-symmetry breaking in quantum oscillators; (vii) symmetry breaking of resonances; (viii) symmetry in fluid-structure interaction; (ix) symmetry vs. asymmetry in pattern formation; (x) symmetry in solid-gas phase transition; (xi) continuous vs. discontinuous symmetry; (xii) temporal vs. spatiotemporal symmetry; (xiii) symmetry in transition from regular to chaotic dynamics.

The present study focuses on the examination of the propagation of plane surface waves on a coated half-space, which is accompanied by the magnetic field force, and the normal mechanical loading, due to Winkler’s elastic foundation. The study is based upon the application of the analytical and asymptotic integration procedures to acquire and further analyze the aspiring secular equation. Asymptotically, the influence of the coating layer is suppressed by deploying apposite effective boundary conditions that are ingrained on a long-wave approximation condition, to obtain the resulting pseudo-differential operator of the reduced equation of surface motion. In fact, the comparison between the two approaches yielded considerable agreement through the dependency plots, featuring the scaled velocity v/vR versus the dimensionless wavenumber K. Moreover, certain well-known results in the literature are obtained as liming circumstances of the present examination. Additionally, an insightful finding about the vanishing possibility of the coating layer is illustratively highlighted. Full article

We present two new models for dynamic beams deduced from three dimensional theory of linear elasticity. The first model is deduced from virtual work considered for small beam sections. For the second model, we suppose a Taylor-Young expansion of the displacement field up to the fourth order in transverse dimensions of the beam. We consider the Fourier series expansion for considering Neumann lateral boundary conditions together with dynamical equations, we obtain a system of fifteen vector equations with the fifteen coefficients vector unknown of the displacement field. For beams with two fold symmetric cross sections commonly used (for example circular, square, rectangular, elliptical…), a unique decomposition of any three-dimensional loads is proposed and the symmetries of these loads is introduced. For these two theories, we show that the initial problem decouples into four subproblems. For an orthotropic material, these four subproblems are completely independent. For a monoclinic material, two subproblems are coupled and independent of the two other coupled subproblems. For the first model, we also give the detailed expression of these four subproblems when we consider the approximation of the displacement field used in the second model. Full article
