On the basis of the theory of bound charges the calculation of the motion of the charged particle at the
Coulomb field formed with the spherical source of bound charges is carried out. Such motion is possible in
the Riemanniam space-time. The comparison with the general relativity theory (GRT) and special relativity
theory (SRT) results in the Schwarzshil'd field when the particle falls on the Schwarzshil'd and Coulomb
centres is carried out. It is shown that the proton and electron can to create a stable connection with the
dimensions of the order of the classic electron radius. The perihelion shift of the electron orbit in the
proton field is calculated. This shift is five times greater than in SRT and when corrsponding substitution of
the constants it is 5/6 from GRT. By means of the quantization of adiabatic invariants in accordance with
the method closed to the Bohr and Sommerfeld one without the Dirac equation the addition to the energy
for the fine level splitting is obtained. It is shown that the Caplan's stable orbits in the hydrogen atom
coincide with the Born orbits.

Casimir energy for a double spherical shell: A global mode sum approachMiltão Ribeiro
In this work we study the configuration of two perfectly conducting spherical shells. This is a problem of basic importance to make possible development of experimental apparatuses that they make possible to measure the spherical Casimir effect, an open subject. We apply the mode sum method via cutoff exponential function regularization with two independent parameters: one to regularize the infinite order sum of the Bessel functions; other, to regularize the integral that becomes related, due to the argument theorem, with the infinite zero sum of the Bessel functions. We obtain a general expression of the Casimir energy as a quadrature sum. We investigate two immediate limit cases as a consistency test of the expression obtained: that of a spherical shell and that of two parallel plates. In the approximation of a thin spherical shell we obtain an expression that allows to relate our result with that of the proximity-force approximation, supplying a correction to this result.

The notion of gravitational radiation as a radiation of the same level as the electromagnetic radiation is based on theoretically proved and experimentally confirmed fact of existence of stationary states of an electron in its gravitational field characterized by the gravitational constant K = 1042G (G is the Newtonian gravitational constant) and unrecoverable space-time curvature Λ. If the numerical values of K 5.11031 Nm2 kg-2 and =4.41029 m -2 , there is a spectrum of stationary states of the electron in its own gravitational field (0.511 MeV ... 0.681 MeV).Adjusting according to the known mechanisms of broadening does not disclose the broadening of the registered portion of the emission spectrum of the micropinch. It indicates the presence of an additional mechanism of broadening the registered portion of the spectrum of the characteristic radiation due to the contribution of the excited states of electrons in their own gravitational field. The energy spectrum of the electron in its own gravitational field and the energy spectra of multielectron atoms are such that there is a resonance of these spectra.

On the Mathematical Structure of the Fundamental Forces of NatureRamin (A.) Zahedi
The main idea of this article is based on my previous articles (references [1], [2], [3]). In this work by introducing a new mathematical approach based on the algebraic structure of integers (the domain of integers), and assuming the “discreteness” of physical quantities such as the components of the relativistic n-momentum, we derive all the mathematical laws governing the fundamental forces of nature. These obtained laws that are unique, distinct and in the form of the complex tensor equations, represent the force of gravity, the electromagnetic (including electroweak) force, and the (strong) nuclear force (and only these three kinds of forces, for all dimensions D ≥2). Each derived tensor equation contains the term of the mass m_0 (as the invariant mass of the supposed force carrier particle), as well as the term of the external current (as the external source of the force field). In some special cases, these tensor equations are turned into the wave equations that are similar to the Pauli and Dirac equations. In fact, the mathematical laws obtained in this paper, are the corrected and generalized forms of the current field equations including Maxwell equations, Yang-Mils equations and Einstein equations, as well as (in some special conditions) Pauli equation, Dirac equation, and so on. A direct proof of the absence of magnetic monopoles in nature is one of the outcomes of this research, according to the unique formulations of the laws of the fundamental forces that we have derived.

RCS of Chiral Elliptic Cylinder Embedded in Infinite Chiral Medium IJECEIAES
This paper presents an analytic solution to the scattering properties of chiral elliptic cylinder embedded in infinite chiral medium due to incident plane wave. The external electromagnetic fields as well as the internal electromagnetic fields are written in terms Mathieu functions and expansion coefficients. In order to obtain both the internal and external unknown field expansion coefficients, the boundary conditions are applied rigorously at the surface of different chiral/chiral material. Results are plotted graphically for the normalized scattering widths for elliptic cylinders of different sizes and chiral materials to show the effects of these parameters on scattering cross widths. It is shown numerically by adding the external chiral material to elliptic cylinder provides more parameters to control the RCS.
Comparative study of results obtained by analysis of structures using ANSYS, ...IOSR Journals
The analysis of complex structures like frames, trusses and beams is carried out using the Finite
Element Method (FEM) in software products like ANSYS and STAAD. The aim of this paper is to compare the
deformation results of simple and complex structures obtained using these products. The same structures are
also analyzed by a MATLAB program to provide a common reference for comparison. STAAD is used by civil
engineers to analyze structures like beams and columns while ANSYS is generally used by mechanical engineers
for structural analysis of machines, automobile roll cage, etc. Since both products employ the same fundamental
principle of FEM, there should be no difference in their results. Results however, prove contradictory to this for
complex structures. Since FEM is an approximate method, accuracy of the solutions cannot be a basis for their
comparison and hence, none of the varying results can be termed as better or worse. Their comparison may,
however, point to conservative results, significant digits and magnitude of difference so as to enable the analyst
to select the software best suited for the particular application of his or her structure.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. STATISTICAL THEORY OF THE EQUILIBRIUM
ELASTIC AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF CRYSTALS
V. B. Nemstov
A study is made of the equilibrium elastic and thermal properties of a crystal that consists
of particles with rotational degrees of freedom. To describe its strain and stress states,
asymmetric strain and stress tensors are used. On the basis of microscopic expressions
for the strain and stress tensors by means of a local-equilibrium ensemble, statistical ex-
pressions are obtained for the specific heat of the deformed medium for fixed strain tensors,
for four isothermal tensors of elastic moduli, temperature stress coefficients, and coeffi-
cients of thermal expansion. These properties are described by static correlation func-
tions of dynamical quantities.
Introduction
The dynamic theory of a crystal lattice is in constant use in the microscopic theory of solids (see,
for example, [1, 2]). Recently, the Born model of a crystal has been successfully used to construetatheory
of inhomogeneous elastic media with spatial dispersion [3-5]. However, because of the purely dynamic
approach, the theory does not contain thermodynamic relations. These are introduced when the system is
treated statistically.
In recent years the methods of statistical thermodynamics have been greatly developed and it has
been possible to construct a consistent theory of both the equilibrium and nonequilibrium behavior of macro-
scopic systems [6].
A deformed state of a solid is a state of incomplete thermodynamic equilibrium [7], for whose descrip-
tion the local-equilibrium distribution can be used [6].
In the present paper we develop a theory of the equilibrium elastic and thermal properties of a crystal
on the basis of the local-equilibrium ensemble. We consider systems with rotational degrees of freedom
msymmetric media). They consist of nonspherical molecules whose interaction is described by potential
that depends not only on the distance between their centers of inertia but also on the orientation of the part-
icles (noncentral forces).
The deformed state of an asymmetric medium is determined by two strain tensors. The fundamental
feature of this approach is that the dynamical variables of the strain tensors are included in the local-equi-
librium distribution.
The method of the local-equilibrium operator is of great generality and has great advantages over the
method of averaging with respect to a state of complete equilibrium. In the present paper, these advantages
make it possible to allow consistently for spatial dispersion of the equilibrium elastic and thermal properties
of an inhomogeneous asymmetric medium.
The study of systems with rotational degrees of freedom is of independent interest [8]. Such systems
include, in particular, liquid crystals, which have provoked particular interest in recent years (see, for
example, [9]).
Irreversible processes in these systems have been considered by the nonequilibrium statistical oper-
ator method [10], and studies have been made of the viscous and high-frequency elastic properties [11, 12]
and also the equilibrium thermoelastic characteristics of spatially homogeneous asymmetric media [13].

2. It has been shown that macroscopic manifestation of rotational degrees of freedom is the cause of non-
trivial features in the propagation of sound [14], in Rayleigh scattering of light [15], in dielectric properties
[16], and in piezo electric and optical effects [17].
Local-Equilibrium Distribution for a Deformed Solid
Suppose the molecuIes have fixed mean equilibrium positions of their centers of mass and orientation.
SmalI displacements and angles of rotation of the particles are measured from these mean positions and
orientations.
To construct the dynamical quantities of the strain tensors we extend the method of continualization
of the dispIacement field of a discrete point lattice [3, 41 to systems with rotational degrees of freedom.
We introduce the dynamical quantities of the displacement field and the field of the angles of rotation
of the particles of the medium by the relations
N 2r
u(r)= v ~ u~8(r_ q0,), q~(r) = v ~, ~6(r_ q0,), (1)
where u u and q)v are the vectors of a small displacement and the rotation angle of the particle with number
v; v is the volume per particle; N is the number of particles; 5(r) is the delta function; q0u is the mean
equilibrium radius vector of particle v; and r is the radius vector of a point of space.
On account of the translational invariance of the lattice and the periodic boundary condition, the ad-
missible values of the wave vector can be restricted to the unit ceil of the reciprocal lattice (or the Brillouin
zone). Then the Fourier transforms of u(r) andq~(r) can be written as
N
= vB(k)~ u" exp{ik, q0~},ll(k)
(2)
(k) = vB (k) ~. q~"exp{~k 9qo~}.r
If k belongs to the unit cell of the reciprocal lattice, then B(k) = 1 and t~(k) = 0 otherwise.
Allowing for the transition of the discrete distribution of the wave vectors into a continuous distribu-
tion in the limit of an infinite lattice, we can represent the Fourier transforms of the functions (2) in the
form
/g
u (r) = v ~, u"~L(r - q0"),
v=l
N
~(r) = v}-~ +'6~(r - q0").
(3)
The function 6B/r ) is the Fourier transform of B(k) [3, 4]. It vanishes at the sites of the lattice and is equal
to v -1 for r = 0. The expressions (3) give the desired continual representation of the fields of the displace-
ments and rotation angles of the particles at the lattice sites. At the tattice sites, the fields u(r) and ~o(r)
take the values Uu and ~ou [3, 4].
On the basis of (3) we determine the dynamical quantities of the strain tensors:
e~ = Oa~ / Ox~ -- e,~p.,, ~ = OrO~/ Ox~. (4)
These dynamical quantities will be used to give a microscopic description of the deformed state of the
medium in the approximation of small strains. The expressions for the strain tensors have been derived
statistically already [11].
If the mean positions of the centers of mass of the molecuIes are not fixed (liquid or nematie liquid
crystal), the medium does not exert an elastic resistance to the quasistatic shear strain. Then instead of
the tensor elk one must use the dynamicaI quantity of the mass density (m is the particle mass):
N
(r) = m ~ 6 (r -- q~).P
v~t
197
3. The theory allows a generalization to the case of finite strains, for whose tensors one can also intro-
duce microscopic expressions.
In addition to the strain tensors, the dynamical quantity e of the energy density [6] will also determine
the state of the system. It is convenient to regard the state variables as the components of a 19-dimensional
vector: Pi{e, eli, E22, E33, El2, E2I, El3, E31, a23, E32, Tll, ")/22, T33, Y12, T21, 713, T31, T23, 'Y32}"
On the basis of the dynamical variables Pi(i = 1, 2,..., 19), we construct a local-equilibrium distribu-
tion, using the principle of maximality of the information entropy [6]. The local-equilibrium distribution
has the form
O,=Q~-~exp {- S[~(r)e(r)+~ F~.(r)P=(r)]dr}, (6)
m=2
where Ql is a statistical integral; fl(r) is the reciprocal local temperature. The thermodynamic parameters
and F m are determined from the condition that the loeal~equilibrium mean values of the dynamical vari-
ables P be equal to their given mean values. These thermodynamic parameters are the auxiliary fields
m
that give rise to the given mean values of the dynamical variables [18].
In the Fourier representation, the local-equilibrium distribution is written in the form
pL=Qz-,exp{_Z~F,~(k)p.~(_k~}. (7)
k m=l
Using (7) to determine the mean value of a certain quantity M, we can show [6] that
0<M(k)>~_=-(M(k),P~(-k~)), (8)
OF.(k,)
where
(M(k), P=(-k,)) = ([M(k) -- (M(k))~] [P.(-k,) - <P.(--k,)),])L. (9)
On the basis of (8) for M = Pm' we obtain
,0<P~ (k))L=- (P~(k),P~(-k,)), (10')

of the characteristics of the equilibrium elastic and thermal properties of the crystal. In what follows, to

Elastic and Thermal Properties of a Crystal
Setting M in (12) equal to the Fourier transform of e(k) , we establish an expression for the specific
heat of the deformed medium at fixed strain tensors:
ae t p -,
where k is Boltzmann's constant. If we set Pj = -p~kS, we obtain the well-known expression for the spe-
cific heat of a liquid at constant volume [19, 20].
In t13), Ca, T(k, kl) is the Fourier transform of the kernel of the integral relation between the energy
density e(r) and the local temperature T(r') at another point of the region of space occupied by the medium.
The expression (13) refers to the general case of a spatially inhomogeneous medium.
Note that the energy density includes the kinetic energy of the rotational motion in addition to the
well-known expression.
Using (12), we can also determine the temperature stress coefficients:
For this, we'must take M to be components of the microscopic tensors of the ordinary and the moment
stresses. The Fourier transforms of the latter are defined by
I ~" /e ~k'~

-qV is the radius vector joining the centers of mass of particles t~ and v; and XiV/z are its components;
F vg' and M v~ are the force and the couple applied to the particle v by the particle tz. To obtain (14) one
must apply a Fourier transformation to the Poisson brackets in Eqs. (5) of [11].
The flux density tensor of the intrinsic angular momentum, ~rij, can be expressed in terms of the
lattice variables and the force constants in the same way as is done for the momentum flux tensor in [21].
To simplify the notation in what follows, we shall use a single-index notation for the components of
the stress tensors: ~'i (i = 1 ..... 9), ~i (i = 10 ..... 185, and also for their temperature coefficients: k.

The statistical expressions for the temperature stress coefficients have the form

As in the case of the specific heat, the expreesions (15) are the Fourier transforms of the kernels
of nonlocal integral relations between the stress tensors and the temperature. It is important that the tem-
perature stress coefficients include the new coefficients ~n' which are not present in theories of media
with a central interaction of the molecules.

5. As is done for liquids in [20], it is convenient to replace the energy density by a quantity ~ such that
its static correlation functions with the strain tensors vanish. This requirement is satisfied by
19
0 = e- Z Pj(e,P,)(PP) if'.
Then the set of variables can be ordered as follows: Pi{ett, e22, e~3, a12, ~21, e13, %1, e23, e32, Tll, 722,
733, 712, ~21, ~/13, 731, 72~, ~32, 0}.
The static correlation matrix (Pi(k), Pj(-kl) ) has a diagonal block structure. The upper block is
formed by the correlation functions of the strain tensors, and the remaining part of the matrix has the
correlation function (e(k)O(-kl)) on the principal diagonal. For a nongyrotropic medium the upper block
splits up into two diagonal blocks, since (eij(k)Tmn(-k~)} = 0. On the basis of Frobenius's formula [22] it
is easy to show that the reciprocal matrix (PP)-~.tk also has a diagonal block structure, and that its blocks
~3
are matrices that are the inverses of the corresponding blocks of the original matrix.
Taking for M the components of the microscopic stress tensors (14) and using (11), we establish ex-
pressions for the Fourier transforms of the kernels of integral nonlocal relations between the stress tensors
and the strain tensors at fixed temperature T(k). We shall call these transforms the isothermal equilibrium
elasticity moduli.
In the single-subscript notation for the stress and strain tensors, the four tensors of the elasticity
moduli are determined by

For a nongyrotropic medium it fellows from symmetry considerations that the elastic properties of a
medium are characterized by two elastic moduli tensors, their expressions in the usual notation having the
form
0 --1

Q --1
If we set epq = -p(k), in (17'), we obtain the well-known expression for the isothermal dilational
modulus of elasticity of a liquid (see, for example, [19, 20]).
The tensors A ~ and C~ determine the elasticity of a medium with respect to a deformation due to in-
homogeneity of the displacement field. The tensors B ~ and Do characterize the elasticity of the medium
with respect to the orientational deformation. The statistical expressions for them can be used to describe
the orientational elasticity of liquid crystals. If the medium has an inversion center, the orientational
elasticity is determined by the single tensor D ~
It is important that not only the specific heat and the temperature stress coefficients but also the
moduli of elasticity can be represented as expressions containing the static correlation functions of the
fluctuations of the dynamical quantities, for which molecular expressions are known. Another important
feature of the theory is the fact that the thermoelastic characteristics of the medium are determined with
allowance for spatial dispersion for a spatially inhomogeneous medium.
Let us now consider the possibility of concrete calculation of the elastic and thermal properties of a
medium on the basis of Eqs. (13), (15), and (17). One of the possibilities is associated with an expansion
of the dynamical quantities of the stress tensors and the energy density in a series in the strain tensors.

6. Then the determination of the correlation functions of these quantities with the strain tensors reduces to
calculating the correlation functions of the strain tensors. And these - the correlation functions of the
strain tensors - can be expressed in terms of the correlation functions of the displacements and the rota-
tion angles of the particles. To calculate the latter, Green's functions can be used directly.
The calculation of mean values with respect to the local-equilibrium ensemble presents considerable
difficulties. Considering states that differ only slightly from a state of complete equilibrium, we average
with respect to the equilibrium ensemble. Then for the equilibrium moduli of elasticity we obtain simple
expressions if we restrict ourselves to the linear terms in the expansion of the stress tensors (14) in a
series in the strain tensors. The product of the correlation matrix of the strain tensors and its reciprocal
gives the identity matrix, and the moduli of elasticity are equal to the coefficients of the strain tensors in
the given expansions. In [11], the author determined these coefficients, ignoring spatial dispersion, in a
calculation of the high-frequency moduli of elasticity. (In the notation of [11], these are the coefficients of
the strain tensors in the expressions for ATik/V and AIIik/V.)
Using the expressions for these coefficients, we find in the linear approximation without allowance
for spatial dispersion

where V is the volume of the system. The formulas contain the mean equilibrium values of the spatial
coordinates and the angular variables of the particles. Since the mean values of the momenta and the
angular momenta vanish, kinetic parts are not present in the expressions for the moduli of elasticity.
The expression for the tensor A~ in the case of a central interaction of the particles is identical with the
well-known expression of the dynamic theory of crystal lattices [1].
It is interesting that the equilibrium moduli of elasticity in this approximation are identical to within
the kinetic parts to the high-frequency moduli of elasticity of a medium without the initial stresses [11, 12].
From this we conclude that the difference between the equilibrium and the high-frequency moduli of elasti-
city of a solid is due not only to their kinetic parts but, principally, to the nonlinear terms in the expansion
of the stress tensors in a series in the strain tensors.
In the same way one can establish a formula for the moduli of elasticity in the linear approximation
with allowance for spatial dispersion by expanding the expressions (14) in a series in the strain tensors.
The second possibility is associated with the fact that the static correlation functions of the stress
tensors with the strain tensors can be readily calculated in general form by means of the stationarity con-
dition
</)(k)A (--k,) > =--<B(k) A(--ki) > (t)=dB/dt).
Choosing B to be successively the density of the momentum and the intrinsic angular momenta and A to be
the strain tensors, and using the conservation laws for these densities, we reduce the calculation of these
static correlation functions to the calculation of the correlation hmctions of the momentum and angular
momentum densities. Therefore, the determination of the moduli of elasticity reduces to ealculating the
static correlations of the strain tensors.
Note that the expressions obtained for the speeific heat, the temperature stress coefficients, and the
isothermal moduli of elasticity enables us to calculate the adiabatic moduli of elastieity and the coefficients
of thermal expansion. For this we must use the thermodynamic relations [13], which are written down be-
low for the Fourier transforms of the corresponding quantities:

Note that in (19) and (20) there is also summation over the wave vector.
The set of coefficients of thermal expansions includes the new coefficients fii'" Since flij = (0s/~ij)T,~-
(s is the entropy density) [13], the coefficients of thermal expansion determine a n~w piezocaloric effect
due to the presence of moment stresses.
Equations (19) and (20) generalize the well-known relations [23] for an elastic body with symmetric
stress tensor. The generalization is associated with not only the appearance of new characteristics of the
media but also with the allowance for nonlocality. For a nongyrotropic medium the relations (20) simplify,
since the tensors B ~ and Co vanish.
