Antiplane analysis for an elliptical inclusion in 1D hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystal composites

An elliptical inclusion embedded in an infinite 1D hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystal matrix is analysed in the framework of linear piezoelasticity of quasicrystals. Using the technique of conformal mapping, the closed-form solutions of the complex potentials, all the field quantities in the matrix and the inclusion are obtained under far-field antiplane mechanical loads of the phonon and phason fields and an inplane electrical load. Several special cases, such as a homogeneous material, a soft and permeable inclusion, an impermeable inclusion, a line inclusion, a rigid inclusion and a crack are reduced by the present results. Some numerical examples are provided to shows the variations of the stresses of the phonon and phason fields and the electric field with the shape of hole/inclusion, the dielectric permittivity and the distance from the hole/inclusion.     

Three-dimensional analysis of a spheroidal inclusion in a two-dimensional quasicrystal body

This paper deals with the three-dimensional problem of a spheroidal quasicrystalline inclusion, which is embedded in an infinite matrix consisting of a two-dimensional quasicrystal subject to uniform loadings at infinity. Based on the general solution of quasicrystals in cylindrical coordinates, a series of displacement functions is adopted to obtain the explicit real-form results for the coupled fields both inside the inclusion and matrix, when three different types of loadings are studied: axisymmetric, in-plane shear and out-of-plane shear. Furthermore, the present results are reduced to the limiting cases involving inhomogeneities including rigid inclusions, cavities and penny-shaped cracks.     

Uniqueness of the physical vacuum and the Wightman functions in the infinite volume limit for some non polynomial interactions

We consider quantum field theoretical models inn dimensional space-time given by interaction densities which are bounded functions of an ultraviolet cut-off boson field. Using methods of euclidean Markov field theory and of classical statistical mechanics, we construct the infinite volume imaginary and real time Wightman functions as limits of the corresponding quantities for the space cut-off models. In the physical Hilbert space, the space-time translations are represented by strongly continuous unitary groups and the generator of time translationsH is positive and has a unique, simple lowest eigenvalue zero, with eigenvector , which is the unique state invariant under space-time translations. The imaginary time Wightman functions and the infinite volume vacuum energy density are given as analytic functions of the coupling constant. The Wightman functions have cluster properties also with respect to space translations.     

Effective dynamic properties of 3D composite materials containing rigid penny-shaped inclusions

The propagation of time-harmonic plane elastic waves in infinite elastic composite materials consisting of linear elastic matrix and rigid penny-shaped inclusions is investigated in this paper. The inclusions are allowed to translate and rotate in the matrix. First, the three-dimensional (3D) wave scattering problem by a single inclusion is reduced to a system of boundary integral equations for the stress jumps across the inclusion surfaces. A boundary element method (BEM) is developed for solving the boundary integral equations numerically. Far-field scattering amplitudes and complex wavenumbers are computed by using the stress jumps. Then the solution of the single scattering problem is applied to estimate the effective dynamic parameters of the composite materials containing randomly distributed inclusions of dilute concentration. Numerical results for the attenuation coefficient and the effective velocity of longitudinal and transverse waves in infinite elastic composites containing parallel and randomly oriented rigid penny-shaped inclusions of equal size and equal mass are presented and discussed. The effects of the wave frequency, the inclusion mass, the inclusion density, and the inclusion orientation or the direction of the wave incidence on the attenuation coefficient and the effective wave velocities are analysed. The results presented in this paper are compared with the available analytical results in the low-frequency range.     

Effects of constrained chain conformations on polymer-solute interactions in semicrystalline polymers

The chemical potential of a solute in a solid polymer includes contributions from solute-polymer chain conformations, Flory-Huggins type interaction, and elastic energy of swelling. Presence of impermeable and rigid crystallites in such systems is expected to affect all these contributions. Theoretical calculations have been performed to check the direct effects of constrained chain conformations in the amorphous domains in semicrystalline polymers. Experimental results are used to determine Flory-Huggins coefficient and elastic modulus. From all these, the primary effects are shown to be on the entropic part of the Flory-Huggins coefficient and an increase in the elastic modulus by one or two order of magnitude. Finally, these results are used to calculate the rates of solvent-induced crystallization to show that these rates can drop to negligible values as the amount of crystals formed rises. Thus, the actual degree of crystallization can lie well below the Flory-Yoon limit.     

Gauge symmetry and Slavnov-Taylor identities for randomly stirred fluids

The path integral for randomly forced incompressible fluids is shown to have an underlying Becchi-Rouet-Stora (BRS) symmetry as a consequence of Galilean invariance. This symmetry must be respected to have a consistent generating functional, free from both an overall infinite factor and spurious relations amongst correlation functions. We present a procedure for respecting this BRS symmetry, akin to gauge fixing in quantum field theory. Relations are derived between correlation functions of this gauge-fixed, BRS symmetric theory, analogous to the Slavnov-Taylor identities of quantum field theory.     

Elastic properties of spherically anisotropic piezoelectric composites

Effective elastic properties of spherically anisotropic piezoelectric composites, whose spherically anisotropic piezo-electric inclusions are embedded in an infinite non-piezoelectric matrix, are theoretically investigated. Analytical solutions for the elastic displacements and the electric potentials under a uniform external strain are derived exactly. Taking into account of the coupling effects of elasticity, permittivity and piezoelectricity, the formula is derived for estimating the effective elastic properties based on the average field theory in the dilute limit. An elastic response mechanism is revealed, in which the effective elastic properties increase as inclusion piezoelectric properties increase and inclusion dielectric properties decrease. Moreover, a piezoelectric response mechanism, of which the effective piezoelectric response vanishes due to the symmetry of spherically anisotropic composite, is also disclosed.     

On the sound fields of infinitely long strips

Exact solutions are derived for sound radiation from four kinds of infinitely-long strips: namely a rigid strip in a baffle of finite width, a resilient strip in free space, and a resilient or rigid strip in an infinite baffle. In one limit, the strip in a finite baffle becomes a rigid strip in free space and in the other, a line source in a finite baffle. Here "rigid" means that the surface velocity is uniform, whereas "resilient" means that the surface pressure is uniform, and the strip is assumed to have zero mass or stiffness, as if a force were driving the acoustic medium directly. According to the Babinet-Bouwkamp principle, radiation from a resilient strip in an infinite baffle is equivalent to diffraction of a plane wave through a slit in the same. Plots are shown for the radiation impedances, far-field directivity patterns, and on-axis pressure responses of the four kinds of strip. A simple relationship between the radiation admittance of the rigid strip in an infinite baffle and the resilient strip in free space is presented. The two-dimensional rectangular wave functions developed in this paper can be applied to related problems.     

无障板圆形活塞换能器的辐射阻抗*

辐射阻抗是换能器的最重要辐射声场特性参数之一,影响着换能器的谐振频率、频带宽度、效率以及辐射声功率等。经典声学理论用一阶贝塞尔函数和斯特鲁夫函数给出了圆形活塞换能器辐射阻抗的数学表达式,但仅适用于无限大障板条件。该文用ANSYS有限元软件计算了无障板圆形活塞换能器的辐射阻抗,给出了数值解结果,通过与无限大障板条件下的理论结果相比较,显示了二者之间的偏离情况,尤其是在低频时差异显著。为了借助MATLAB工具模拟无障板圆形活塞换能器的辐射阻抗,并给出较准确的数学表达,选择了一系列初等函数以及它们的复合函数进行曲线拟合,最终给出了辐射阻和辐射抗关于ka的函数表达式,在ka值从0.08到20范围内与有限元计算结果很好吻合。     

An extended time-dependent mean-field theory for strongly correlated nuclear systems

We perform an extension of the time-dependent mean-field theory by an explicit inclusion of strong two-body correlations of short range on a level of microscopic reversibility relating them to realistic nucleon-nucleon forces. Invoking a least action principle for correlated basis functions, equations of motion for the correlation functions and the single-particle model wave function are derived to the lowest order of the FAHT cluster expansion. Higher order effects as well as longrange correlations we consider only to the extent to which they contribute to the mean field via a readjusted phenomenological effective two-body interaction. The corresponding correlated stationary problem is investigated and appropriate initial conditions to describe a heavy ion reaction are proposed. The single-particle density matrix is evaluated. Norm, energy and particle number conservation are proved. Possible simplifications are discussed. Standard TDHF appears as a limiting case if the range of the explicitly considered part of the bare nucleon-nucleon interaction goes to zero.     

Elastic displacement field of point defects in anisotropic cubic crystals

The elastic displacement field of point defects in cubic crystals is calculated for weak anisotropy by second order perturbation theory and by a variational procedure. The results are compared with numerical calculations for Cu. Further analytical approximations are given for the volume change in an infinite crystal and for the interaction energy of two point defects.     

Analytical Expression for the Distribution of Elastic Strain Created by a Polyhedral Inclusion with Arbitrary Eigenstrain

Analytical expressions for the displacement vector, stain tensor, and Eshelby tensor have been obtained in the case where an inclusion in an elastically isotropic infinite medium has a polyhedral shape. The eigenstrain (e.g., the lattice mismatch) is assumed to be constant inside the inclusion but not obligatorily hydrostatic. The obtained expressions describe the strain both inside the inclusion and in its environment. It has been shown that a complex three-dimensional configuration of the elastic strain field (as well as of the displacement vector field) is reduced to a combination of simple functions having an illustrative physical and geometrical interpretation.     

Probability distributions for the stress tensor in conformal field theories

The vacuum state—or any other state of finite energy—is not an eigenstate of any smeared (averaged) local quantum field. The outcomes (spectral values) of repeated measurements of that averaged local quantum field are therefore distributed according to a non-trivial probability distribution. In this paper, we study probability distributions for the smeared stress tensor in two-dimensional conformal quantum field theory. We first provide a new general method for this task based on the famous conformal welding problem in complex analysis. Secondly, we extend the known moment generating function method of Fewster, Ford and Roman. Our analysis provides new explicit probability distributions for the smeared stress tensor in the vacuum for various infinite classes of smearing functions. All of these turn out to be given in the end by a shifted Gamma distribution, pointing, perhaps, at a distinguished role of this distribution in the problem at hand.

     

On the effect of viscosity in scattering from partially coated infinite cylinders

This paper considers the two-dimensional problem of scattering of a plane wave incident on an infinite cylinder that is coated with strips of pressure-release material extending over quadrants on the illuminated and shadowed sides, with the remainder of the surface considered to be rigid. Transitions from soft to rigid surfaces correspond to discontinuous boundary conditions. Ideal fluid theory predicts an infinite pressure gradient at these transitions, which suggests that viscous effects may be significant. The present work is a quantitative analysis of the global effect on acoustic scattering of viscosity effects arising in the vicinity of the discontinuity. The analysis represents the scattered field in terms of acoustic and vortical contributions. Both contributions are represented by series expansions in terms of azimuthal harmonics and associated cylindrical wave functions. The amplitudes of these harmonics are determined by satisfying a pair of discontinuous boundary conditions. Results obtained by using the method of weighted residuals are shown to be less accurate than those obtained from a collocation procedure. The results for surface pressure and farfield directivity indicate that viscous effects are important only if the Reynolds number is extremely small.     

Rigid piston approximation for computing the transfer function and angular response of a fiber-optic hydrophone

The transfer function of a fiber-optic hydrophone (FOH) is computed for various fiber core radii. The hydrophone is modeled as a rigid disk, with plane waves impinging at normal or oblique incidence. The total sound field is written as the sum of the incident field and the field diffracted from the hydrophone. The diffracted field is approximated by the field generated by a vibrating planar piston in an infinite rigid baffle. For normal incidence and a pointlike fiber core, an analytical solution is presented. For finite fiber core radii, and for oblique incidence, the transfer functions are computed numerically. The calculated transfer functions exhibit an oscillatory frequency dependency that is most pronounced for small fiber cores. The solution for a core radius of 2.5 microm can be very well approximated by the analytical solution for a pointlike core at frequencies of up to 30 MHz. The results for normal incidence can be directly employed to deconvolute ultrasonic pressure signals measured with an FOH. From the transfer functions for oblique incidence, the angular response of the hydrophone is calculated. The angular response obtained here differs significantly from the model commonly used for piezoelectric hydrophones. The effective hydrophone radius derived from the angular response shows a strong frequency dependency. For low frequencies, it is found to be larger than the outer fiber radius, whereas it generally lies between the outer radius and the fiber core radius for frequencies above 10 MHz.     

Diffraction of electromagnetic plane wave by an infinitely long conducting strip on dielectric slab

Diffraction of electromagnetic plane wave by an infinitely long conducting strip which is placed on a dielectric slab of finite thickness is formulated rigorously. Both the principal polarizations have been considered. The method of analysis is Kobayashi potential. Imposition of boundary conditions result in dual integral equations. These dual integral equations are reduced to matrix equations with infinite number of unknowns. The elements of the matrix equations are given in terms of infinite integrals. These integrals are hard to solve analytically, so computed numerically. Diffracted far field patterns for different angle of incidence have been computed. Current distributions on the strip are also presented. We have compared our field patterns with those of obtained through physical optics. The agreement is good.     

一种预测扩散声场在非规则形状刚性壁面附近干涉图样的方法

扩散声场会在反射边界附近形成干涉图样,研究方法包括平面波模型、简正模态分析、渐进模态分析等,但仅适用于尺度远大于声波波长的矩形声腔。提出一种预测扩散声场在非规则刚性壁面结构附近形成的干涉图样的数值方法,表明结构附近“受挡”声压的互谱矩阵取决于:(1)假定该结构在自由空间中振动辐射声音时其表面法向振速到表面及场点声压的边界元系数矩阵;(2)假定结构置于自由空间中且表面刚性时,点声源辐射声波入射到结构表面上产生的散射声场的边界元系数矩阵;(3)扩散声场均方声压。仿真表明,该途径预测的干涉图样与理论值完全吻合。该预测方法还可用于混响环境下声源附近直达声压均方值的空间分布估计,为混响环境下设备的声源定位提供帮助。      

The collision integral in nuclear matter at zero temperature

The collision rate in an infinite Fermi system having a deformed Fermi surface is computed in the limit of small deformation. For a given amount of internal energy, the damping rate is nearly independent of temperature. The calculation is applied to thermalization in heavy ion collisions. We find that the collisional damping time is comparable to the duration of the collision for medium-weight nuclei. Thus the predictions of mean field theory, such as the presence of a fusion window at small impact parameters, will only have validity for lighter ions.     

Effects of an inhomogeneous elliptic insert on the elastic field of an edge dislocation

The problem of an edge dislocation in the vicinity of an elliptical inhomogeneity is solved analytically in the form of infinite series. The inhomogeneous inclusion is assumed to be either perfectly bonded or sliding along the interface with the surrounding matrix. The problem is formulated in terms of Papkovich-Neuber displacement potentials and the results for the perfectly bonded and sliding interface are compared. The effects of the inclusion/matrix shear moduli ratio, inclusion/dislocation relative distance and inclusion aspects ratio on the interface stresses and the dislocation force are evaluated.
