We study the problem of finding strain-minimising stream surfaces in a divergence-free vector field. These surfaces are generated by motions of seed curves that propagate through the field in a strain minimising manner, i.e., they move without stretching or shrinking, preserving the length of their arbitrary arc. In ge…
Given a distribution of defects on a structured surface, such as those represented by 2-dimensional crystalline materials, liquid crystalline surfaces, and thin sandwiched shells, what is the resulting stress field and the deformed shape? Motivated by this concern, we first classify, and quantify, the translational, ro…
We consider various notions of strains; quantitative measures for the deviation of a linear transformation from an isometry. The main approach, which is motivated by physical applications and follows the work of Patrizio Neff and co-workers , is to select a Riemannian metric on GLn, and use its induced geodes…
We consider the two logarithmic strain measures\[ω_{\rm iso}=\|\mathrm{dev}_n\log U\|=\|\mathrm{dev}_n\log \sqrt{F^TF}\|\quad\text{ and }\quad ω_{\rm vol}=|\mathrm{tr}(\log U)|=|\mathrm{tr}(\log\sqrt{F^TF})|\,,\]which are isotropic invariants of the Hencky strain tensor logU, and show that they can be uniquely char…
We discuss several issues regarding material homogeneity and strain compatibility for materially uniform thin elastic shells from the viewpoint of a 3-dimensional theory, with small thickness, as well as a 2-dimensional Cosserat theory. A relationship between inhomogeneity and incompatibility measures under the two des…
These are lecture notes for the course "Analysis and X-ray tomography". The course is a broad overview of various tools in analysis that can be used to study X-ray tomography. The focus is on tools and ideas, not so much on technical details and minimal assumptions. Only very basic functional analysis is assumed as bac…

method Integrates graph neural networks (GNNs) into the iterative Proximal Regularized Gauss Newton (PRGN) framework to reconstruct tissue concentrations accurately.
result Accurate reconstruction of overlapping tissue fraction concentrations across multiple frequencies.
This work presents a general unified theory for coupled nonlinear elastic and inelastic deformations of curved thin shells. The coupling is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the surface deformation gradient. The kinematics of this decomposition is examined in detail. In particular, the dependency of various ki…
We propose a general strategy to derive null-homotopy operators for differential complexes based on the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand (BGG) construction and properties of the de Rham complex. Focusing on the elasticity complex, we derive path integral operators P for elasticity satisfying $\mathscr{D}\mathscr{P…
Helical ribbons arise in many biological and engineered systems, often driven by anisotropic surface stress, residual strain, and geometric or elastic mismatch between layers of a laminated composite. A full mathematical analysis is developed to analytically predict the equilibrium deformed helical shape of an initiall…
We develop a 2D travel time tomography method which regularizes the inversion by modeling groups of slowness pixels from discrete slowness maps, called patches, as sparse linear combinations of atoms from a dictionary. We propose to use dictionary learning during the inversion to adapt dictionaries to specific slowness…
We propose a globally convergent alternating minimization (AM) algorithm for image reconstruction in transmission tomography, which extends automatic relevance determination (ARD) to Poisson noise models with Beer's law. The algorithm promotes solutions that are sparse in the pixel/voxel-differences domain by introduci…
The distribution of absorbed dose in radionuclide therapy with Lu177 can be approximated by convolving an image of the time-integrated activity distribution with a dose voxel kernel representing different tissue types. This fast but inaccurate approximation is unsuitable for personalised dosimetry because it negle…
