Modeling of transverse shears of piecewise homogeneous composite bars using an iterative process with account of tangential loads

A nonclassical model for the stress-strain state of a piecewise homogeneous composite bar is proposed. The model is based on an iterative process and takes into account the deplanation of cross sections of the bar caused by transverse shears. Based on the shear strains of some particular approximation, higher approximation models are constructed. The model accounts for both the normal and tangential loads.Presented at the 11th International Conference on Mechanics of Composite Materials (Riga, June 11–15, 2000).Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 36, No. 4, pp. 487–500, July–August, 2000.

What Are the Conditions for Exponential Time-Cubed Echo Decays?

Diffusion of precessing spins through a constant field gradient is well-known to produce two distinctive features: an exp(-bt(3)) decay of the echo amplitude in response to two pulses and a much slower decay of the Carr-Purcell echo train. These features will appear whenever the spin frequency is described by a continuous random-walk. The present work shows that this may also occur in the presence of motions with long correlation times tau(c)-continuous Gaussian frequency noise with an exponential autocorrelation has the correct properties over time durations smaller than tau(c). Thus, time-cubed echo decays will occur in situations other than physical diffusion. The decay rate of the Carr-Purcell echo train is shown to vary with the pulse spacing tau whenever the correlation time tau(c) is long; the slower Carr-Purcell decay compared to the two-pulse echo decay is not unique to diffusion. Simulations are presented that display time-cubed decays. The simulations confirm two important criteria: the echo time must be less than tau(c) and the frequency noise must consist of nearly continuous variations, as opposed to step-like changes. These criteria define the range of physical parameters for which time-cubed decays will be observable.     

Experimental Analysis of Optical Trapping System Using Tapered Hemispherically Lensed Optical Fiber

We describe the operation and performance of an optical fiber trap realized using a tapered hemispherically lensed optical fiber. Axial and transverse trapping forces exerted on a microsphere are experimentally analyzed to corroborate the optical trapping using an optical fiber. Experimental results are as follows. (i) Transverse force F_tr acting on a sphere is a restoring force that acts to pull the microsphere back to the center of trap. (ii) Axial force F_ax always acts to push a sphere in the direction of the beam away from the trapping fiber end. (iii) Vector sum of F_tr and F_ax acting on a sphere gives a restoring force directed back to the stable point. (iv) Transverse force F_tr plays a significant role in trapping a micro-sized object by means of an optical fiber.This paper was originally presented at the 5th International Conference on NEAR FIELD OPTICS and RELATED TECHNOLOGIES (NFO-5), which was held on December 6–10, 1998 at Coganoi Bay Hotel, Shirahama, Japan, in cooperation with the Japan Society of Applied Physics and Mombusho Grant-in Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas “Near-field Nano-optics” Project, sponsored by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

基于关联度的高阶集合流关联分析方法

基于关联度概念,建立了可以分别检测高阶集合流的方位角关联、横向动量模关联和横向关联的新方法.采用新方法分别分析了1.2A GeV Ar+BaI₂碰撞的Bevalac流光室4π实验事件中末态粒子分布的方位角关联与粒子横向动量模的关联对高阶集合流关联的贡献.研究表明:对于这组碰撞实验,末态粒子分布的方位角关联相对横向动量模的关联在高阶集合流关联中起主要作用;末态粒子横向动量模的关联不但可以使粒子群高阶关联的强度有所增加,而且还为在更为狭窄的区间上确定集合流集体性的范围提供了重要信息.

Optical characteristics of a transverse discharge in neon at atmospheric pressure

We present the results of investigation into radiation of a pulsed transverse discharge in neon at a pressure of 10–200 kPa. Survey spectra of plasma radiation, time characteristics of radiation, and the effect of small impurities of water vapors and air on the optical characteristics of a neon plasma were studied. We show that at a pressure of residual gases at a level of 10 Pa intense OH*, NO*, and N _* ² bands are observed in radiation of the plasma of a nanosecond transverse discharge in Ne against the background of continuous plasma radiation, and in the spectral region with λ>400 nm radiation was observed on the H_β 486.1 nm and NeI 585.3 nm lines, and (when P≥100 kPa) on the line at the 3s–3p-transitions of a Ne atom. The radiation intensity of the third continuum of neon increases with pressure and with energy contribution to plasma, with its maximum being located in the VUV spectral region (λ _max <200 nm).

Vibrational spectra of CuAl x Ga1−x S2 solid solutions

Investigations of the IR reflection and Raman spectra in polarized light are carried out on single crystals of the ternary compounds CuAlS₂ and CuGaS₂ and solid solutions based on them grown by the method of chemical transport reactions. The frequencies of longitudinal and transverse phonons are determined, the IR intensities and damping factors of phonons (ε₀, ε_∞) are calculated, and their concentration dependences are constructed. It is established that optical vibrations in the solid solutions manifest a mixed behavior. Belarusian State University of Information Science and Radioelectronics 6 P.

Transverse discharge with prebreakdown ionization multiplication of electrons in the working media of N2- and HF-lasers

Results of an investigation of the characteristics of a transverse discharge with prebreakdown ionization multiplication of electrons in the working media of N₂(C-B)-and SF₆/H₂ chemical HF-lasers are reported. The conditions of initiation of a stable volume discharge in the discharge gap with low homogeneity of the electrical-field distribution are investigated. A quasisteady plasma based on N₂ molecules with a radiation duration of ≤0.5 μsec at transitions of the 2⁺-system and a homogeneous discharge in a SF₆/H₂=(3–7)/(1–2) kPa mixture, which is of interest for preionization of the working medium of an HF-laser by the predischarge method, are obtained.
