Can a filament transmit the curvatures across the constituting modules and control them at one of its end? Inspired by the observation of protofilament - constituent biopolymer of microtubule - this question is addressed by a constructive approach. In our model a simple allosteric element in each module couples with the neighboring modules at its interfaces, which gives rise to a single degree of freedom to control the global shape of the filament. The model can be analyzed in analogy with discrete-time dynamical systems having a bifurcation of trans-critical type.

Euler-Poisson equations belong to the class of first-order differential equations for determining the integral lines of a given vector field. The general solution to these equations can be written as a power series of the evolution parameter. We calculated the sum of these series for the case of a free symmetric body, obtaining its rotation matrix through the elementary functions.

This study establishes a non-Bloch band theory for time-modulated discrete mechanical systems. We consider simple mass-spring chains whose stiffness is periodically modulated in time. Using the temporal Floquet theory, the system is characterized by linear algebraic equations in terms of Fourier coefficients. This allows us to employ a standard linear eigenvalue analysis. Unlike non-modulated linear systems, the time modulation makes the coefficient matrix non-Hermitian, which gives rise to, for example, parametric resonance, non-reciprocal wave transmission, and non-Hermitian skin effects. In particular, we study finite-length chains consisting of spatially periodic mass-spring units and show that the standard Bloch band theory is not valid for estimating their eigenvalue distribution. To remedy this, we propose a non-Bloch band theory based on a generalized Brillouin zone. The proposed theory is verified by some numerical experiments.

A simplified 3D FE model based on McCormick's model is developed to numerically predict the spatiotemporal behaviors of the PLC effect in Ti-12Mo alloy tensile tests at 350 degrees C with strain rates from the order of $10^{-4}$ s$^{-1}$ to $10^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. The material parameter identification procedure is firstly presented in details, and the simulated results are highly consistent with experimental ones, especially in terms of stress drop magnitudes and PLC band widths. The distribution of simulated stress drop magnitudes at a constant tensile velocity (0.01 mm/s) follows a normal distribution and its peak value is in the range of 26-28 MPa. Furthermore, the simulated band width slightly fluctuates with the increase of true strain and its average value is about 1.5 mm. Besides, the staircase behavior of strain-time curves and the hopping propagation of the PLC band are observed in Ti-12Mo alloy tensile process, which are related to the strain localization and stress drop magnitudes.

Two critical characteristics for any MEMS resonator are the quality factor ($Q$) and the temperature coefficient of frequency ($TCF$). The connection between $Q$ and $TCF$ is demonstrated here with a phenomenological anharmonic oscillator model. Specifically, it is shown that the same nonlinear terms responsible for the $TCF$ set an upper limit on the resonator's $Q$. A concise formula is found to estimate this loss and is shown to be closely related to Woodruff's formula for Akhiezer damping. The use of this formula is illustrated by extending the model to an important class of MEMS; piezoelectric resonators. Finally, the model is applied to published data for an AlN-on-diamond piezoelectric resonator. The focus here is on MEMS resonators, but the method should apply broadly to any resonance with non-zero $TCF$.

Plastic deformation in metallic glasses at room temperature leads to the development of shear bands due to shear localization. In many experiments, shear bands have shown local density variations along their path, with a distinct imbalance in magnitude between local densification and dilation. However, a comprehensive mechanistic understanding or theory to explain this asymmetry has been lacking until now. Here, we introduce a new model that consists of a sequential arrangement of alternating topological 'charges', generating a dipolar field. The resulting microscopic displacement field, when integrated into the deformation gradient tensor, provides an accurate analytical solution for the observed imbalances in the density variations. The implications of this method are discussed, highlighting the potential to elucidate a broader range of observations in shear bands.

Linearised relativistic elasticity equations of motion are considered for a rod and a spinning ring encountering a gravitational wave. In the case of the rod, the equations reduce to a wave equation with appropriate boundary conditions. Using Fourier transforms, the resonant frequencies are found and an explicit distributional solution is given, both for a plus- and a cross-polarised gravitational wave. In the case of the spinning ring, the equations are coupled wave equations with periodic boundary conditions. Using a Fourier series expansion, the system of wave equations is recast as a family of ordinary differential equations for the Fourier coefficients, which are then solved via Fourier transforms. The resonant frequencies are found, including simple approximate expressions for slowly rotating rings, and an explicit distributional solution is obtained in the case of the non-spinning ring. Interestingly, it is possible to tune the resonant frequencies by adjusting the angular velocity of the spinning ring.

Schr"odinger-Pauli equation (SP-eq) derived from weakly relativistic approximation (WRA) of Dirac eq, combined with Electromagnetic (EM) field Lagrangian for variational principle, is expected to give a new level of EM response theory. A complete process of this formulation within the second order WRA is given, with explicit forms of charge and current densities, $rho , vec{J}$, and electric and magnetic polarizations, $vec{P}$, $vec{M}$ containing correction terms. They fulfill, not only the continuity equation, but also the relations $nabla cdot vec{P}=-rho, partial vec{P}/partial t + c nabla times vec{M} = vec{J}$, known in the classical EM theory for the corresponding macroscopic variables. This theory should be able to describe all the EM responses within the second order WRA, and the least necessary variables are ${phi, vec{A}, rho, vec{J}}$ (six independent components). From this viewpoint, there emerges a problem about the use of "spin current" popularly discussed in spintronics, because it does not belong to the group of least necessary variables.
从狄拉克方程的弱相对论近似(WRA)导出的薛定谔-保利方程(SP-eq),结合电磁场拉格朗日的变分原理,有望给出电磁响应理论的新水平。本文给出了二阶 WRA 中这一表述的完整过程,其中包括电荷和电流密度($rho ,vec{J}$)以及电极化和磁极化($vec{P}$, $vec{M}$)的显式修正项。它们不仅满足连续性方程,还满足$nabla cdot vec{P}=-rho, partial vec{P}/partialt + c nabla times vec{M} = vec{J}$,这些关系在经典电磁理论中对于相应的宏观变量是已知的。这一理论应该能够描述二阶 WRA 内的所有电磁响应,而最小必要变量是 ${phi,vec{A},rho,vec{J}}$(六个独立分量)。

We consider the problem of relativistic projectiles in a uniform gravitational force field. For the first time, we have found the curve that joins the points of maximum height of all trajectories followed by a projectile in the ultra-relativistic limit. The parametric equations of this curve produce an onion-like curve; in fact, it is one of the loops of a lemniscate-type curve. We also verify that the curve is an ellipse in the nonrelativistic approximation. These two limiting results are obtained by following two slightly distinct approaches. In addition, we calculate the nonrelativistic and ultra-relativistic approximations of the trajectory equation and parametric equations of the trajectory as functions of time. All limiting cases in the article are studied in detail. The content of the article is appropriate for advanced undergraduate students.

In a recent Note (Am. J.

A remarkable aspect of their argument is that it does not depend on the numerical value of $pi$, because $e^{x} ge x^{e}$ for all positive $x$, with equality occurring only when $x = e$. Moreover, their argument does not depend on the validity of the second law but is rather a limited proof of it for this particular case.
