Coupled equations describing the radial and translational dynamics of an encapsulated gas bubble in an ultrasound field are derived by using the Lagrangian formalism. The equations generalize Church's theory by allowing for the translation motion of the bubble and radiation losses due to the compressibility of the sur…

We present an atomic-level criterion for material stability in an atomic system. The criterion draws on the strong ellipticity condition in continuum elasticity theory; however, it is formulated directly in terms of atomic potential without resorting to the continuum concepts. Since the criterion is based on local ene…
