This document discusses the flow behavior of amorphous solids and connections to geoscience. It explores "Eshelby-type events" as a mesoscopic notion of plastic flow, involving nonlocal deformation patterns resembling the response to shear transformations. Particle-based simulations of sheared granular materials show that frictionless grains undergo localized Eshelby rearrangements, while frictional sliding involves longer chains of grains producing dilatancy. The relaxation mechanism, macroscopic response, and prefailure dynamics transition from plastic flow to brittle fracture depending on friction. Open questions concern implications for geophysics contexts.
The document discusses different types of friction including static, kinetic, sliding, rolling, and fluid friction. It provides formulas for calculating static and kinetic friction forces and explains how they relate to the normal force and coefficients of friction. The coefficients of friction depend on the properties of the surfaces in contact, and can be measured experimentally for different surface combinations. Microscopic surface irregularities cause friction as high points on each surface temporarily bond during contact.

Main Features of Viscoelastic Behavior in MaterialsLuís Rita
Homework III - Biomaterials Science
Viscoelasticity is the property of materials that exhibit both elastic and viscous characteristics when undergoing deformation. Viscous materials: resist shear flow and strain linearly with time (Newtonian material) when a stress is applied. Elastic materials: strain when stretched and quickly return to their original state once the stress is removed.

1. Surface engineering aims to modify the properties of material surfaces to improve functionality, such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and friction reduction. Common surface engineering techniques include coatings, thermal treatments, and surface texturing.
2. Controlling friction through surface texturing has gained interest, as microscale dimples or grooves can reduce friction. However, the effects of texturing parameters like shape, depth, width, and orientation on friction are still being studied. Surface roughness parameters provide a way to characterize topography but may not fully describe surfaces.
3. The document discusses various surface roughness parameters defined by ISO standards and how they can characterize surface topography features relevant to friction, such as peaks, valleys
Does rotational meltin make molecular crystal surfaces more slippery?Andrea Benassi
The surface of a crystal made of roughly spherical molecules exposes, above its bulk rotational phase transition at T = Tr, a carpet of freely rotating molecules, possibly functioning as “nanobearings” in sliding friction. We explored by extensive molecular dynamics simulations the frictional and adhesion changes experienced by a sliding C60 flake on the surface of the prototype system C60 fullerite. At fixed flake orientation both quantities exhibit only a modest frictional drop of order 20% across the transition. However, adhesion and friction drop by a factor of ∼2 as the flake breaks its perfect angular alignment with the C60 surface lattice suggesting an entropy-driven aligned misaligned switch during pull-off at Tr. The results can be of relevance for sliding Kr islands, where very little frictional differences were observed at Tr, but also to the sliding of C60-coated tip, where a remarkable factor ∼2 drop has been reported.
The document discusses using a phase transition in a substrate material to dynamically control friction. A molecular dynamics simulation models a 2D solid with a structural phase transition. It finds that the friction coefficient is non-monotonic near the critical temperature Tc, peaking at Tc. Below Tc, different substrate polarizations result in different friction forces, but this difference disappears near Tc. Increasing load makes friction more sensitive to polarization. The peak in friction at Tc occurs because thermal activation helps the tip kick atoms out of potential wells, aiding dissipation. Near Tc, substrate property correlations diverge, increasing damping and friction.

This document summarizes research on modeling swimming microorganisms using theories of nematic liquid crystals. It discusses how flocking behavior can emerge from simple interaction rules and similarities to liquid crystal models. The document then analyzes a simplified 1D active nematic model to explore spontaneous flow, flow induced by shear, and backflow coupling. It finds different stable states can form depending on the activity parameter and initial conditions. Finally, it poses questions about including additional factors like density and polar order, using continuum models for large organisms, and effects on mixing.

This document discusses the relationship between amplitudes and cosmology. Amplitude methods have led to advances in computing cosmological correlations through recursion relations and generalized unitarity. Observations of the CMB and large-scale structure have revealed properties of the primordial fluctuations, including near scale-invariance, adiabaticity, and Gaussianity. Models of inflation aim to explain these properties, and the effective field theory of inflation provides a framework to study fluctuations beyond slow-roll. Future experiments will further probe the initial conditions and search for signatures of the ultraviolet completion of inflation such as non-Gaussianity and tensor modes.
SY - PP II - Rheology and Newtons Law of Flow.pdfKeval80

Dynamical Systems Methods in Early-Universe CosmologiesIkjyot Singh Kohli
The document discusses applying dynamical systems methods to develop models of the early universe. Specifically, it discusses:
1. Applying these methods to the Einstein field equations to obtain cosmological models that are spatially homogeneous but anisotropic.
2. Describing the process of analyzing the dynamics of these models, which involves identifying invariant sets, equilibrium points, monotone functions, and bifurcations in the parameter space.
3. The importance of numerical methods in understanding the global behavior of these systems, since analytical methods are often limited to local analysis near equilibrium points.
The document provides an index for a course on transport phenomena, outlining topics over 12 weeks that cover concepts like Newton's law of viscosity, shell momentum balance, boundary layers, and mass transfer. Key aspects of transport phenomena are discussed, including the governing equations for momentum, heat, and mass transfer as well as the boundary layer concept. Dimensionless groups and their importance in understanding similarity between different transport processes are also highlighted.
We study the effect of reversing shear flow on the stress response and particle dynamics of a glass-forming liquid. Flow reversal diminishes or eliminates the stress overshoot depending on if reversal occurs in the elastic transient, at the overshoot peak, or in the plastic steady state. Reversal in the plastic steady state yields no overshoot and earlier onset of diffusion, while reversal earlier shows a weaker overshoot. Particle dynamics also depend on flow history, with superdiffusion observed after reversal except when in the plastic steady state.
Timeless Cosmology: Towards a Geometric Origin of Cosmological CorrelationsDanielBaumann11
The document summarizes a colloquium talk about the origin of structure in the universe. It discusses how cosmological correlations provide clues about early universe physics before the hot Big Bang, including evidence that primordial fluctuations were scale invariant. Recent work has developed a "cosmological bootstrap" approach to derive correlation functions by imposing physical consistency conditions rather than directly computing time integrals. This approach reveals differential equations whose solutions encode particle production during inflation and emerge time evolution, providing a new perspective on cosmology without time.
This document discusses an experiment on friction force. The purpose was to determine factors influencing friction force, understand static and kinetic friction, and calculate coefficients of static and kinetic friction. Five activities were conducted: 1) observing tensile force on objects at rest, ready to move, and in motion; 2) examining relationship between normal force and friction force; 3) studying relationship between surface state and friction force; 4) determining coefficient of static friction on an inclined plane; and 5) determining coefficient of kinetic friction on an inclined plane. The conclusion is that friction force depends on normal force, surface type, friction coefficients, and angle of inclination.
This document discusses the connection between deterministic evolution over time and differential equations from philosophical, historical, and mathematical perspectives.
From a philosophical viewpoint, the author argues that deterministic motion can be associated with semigroups and is characterized by differential equations with time derivatives. Historically, the exponential function and semigroup theory emerged from efforts to solve linear differential equations. Mathematically, the document outlines the basic theory of uniformly, strongly, and σ(X,F)-continuous semigroups of linear operators and their generators.
Helioseismology is the study of the Sun's internal structure and dynamics through observations of its resonant oscillation modes.
The document discusses how helioseismology has provided insights into changes that occur within the Sun's convection zone over the course of the solar cycle. Observations of changes in oscillation frequencies and amplitudes have revealed shifts in subsurface flows and magnetic activity throughout the convection zone. However, the exact mechanisms driving these changes remain unclear. Improved observations from instruments like SDO may help constrain dynamo models by providing more detailed views of structural variations close to the Sun's surface.
Entropy (S) is a measure of the randomness or disorder of a system. It is related to the various modes of motion in molecules. There are several types of molecular motion including translational, vibrational, and rotational. Ludwig Boltzmann described entropy on the molecular level based on the number of possible microscopic arrangements or "microstates" of a system's molecules, with more possible arrangements corresponding to higher entropy. Generally, entropy increases with temperature, volume, and as the system changes from more ordered solid or liquid states to more random gas states.
Entropy (S) is a measure of the randomness or disorder of a system. It is related to the various modes of motion in molecules. There are several types of molecular motion including translational, vibrational, and rotational. Ludwig Boltzmann described entropy on the molecular level by defining microstates, which are snapshots of molecular configurations. The number of possible microstates (W) is directly related to the entropy (S) of a system. Generally, entropy increases with temperature, volume, and as the number and types of molecular motion increases when going from solids to liquids to gases. Dissolving solids can both increase and decrease entropy by dispersing ions but also aligning water molecules.
This document summarizes Bruno Lévy's talk on Monge-Ampère gravity. It discusses several mysteries in cosmology like dark matter and dark energy. It then provides an overview of 1) Newton-Poisson gravity, 2) Brenier-Monge-Ampère gravity, 3) optimal transport and its relation to Monge-Ampère, 4) discrete optimal transport, 5) the large deviation principle, and 6) the path bundle method for cosmological simulations. Results from a 300 million particle simulation show differences from ΛCDM including more filaments, fewer small halos, and faster spinning halos. Future work is discussed around exploring the shape of the universe at different scales.
This document discusses time-dependent behavior in rocks that occurs over a wide range of strain rates in rock mechanics and engineering applications. It introduces the topic, explaining there are 15 orders of magnitude between high strain rates like explosions and low strain rates like gradual deformation over decades. The document then covers dynamic rock properties, stress waves, time-dependent concepts like creep and relaxation, and rheological models. It discusses the relevance for rock engineering, including concerns over extrapolating short-term test data to designs that must last 1,000 years.
This document discusses the incompatibility between classical mechanics and electromagnetism. It shows that under a Galilean transformation, the wave equation governing electromagnetic waves takes on a different form in different reference frames, violating Galilean invariance. This means that the laws of electromagnetism depend on the choice of reference frame. As such, classical mechanics and electromagnetism cannot be unified without modifications to account for this issue.
This document discusses rheology, the science of deformation of matter under stress. It defines tensile and shearing stresses and explains reversible and irreversible deformations. Viscosity is introduced as the resistance of fluids to flow, with Newtonian fluids obeying the law of proportionality between stress and shear rate. Non-Newtonian fluids are divided into time-dependent categories like thixotropy and time-independent types including plastic, pseudoplastic and dilatant flows. Specific examples and rheograms are provided to illustrate different fluid behaviors.
This document discusses an experiment that measured the frequency and magnitude of microfracturing events in rock samples under stress. It found that microfracturing events obeyed the Gutenberg-Richter frequency-magnitude relation, where the frequency of events decreases exponentially with increasing magnitude. The b-value parameter of this relation depended on factors like rock type, stress level, and confining pressure. Microfracturing in brittle rock had a lower b-value than in ductile rock or during frictional sliding. This similarity to earthquake patterns provides insights into crustal deformation processes.
1) The document discusses viscoelastic characterization and rheological models. It introduces concepts of elastic, viscous, and viscoelastic behavior.
2) The Maxwell and Kelvin-Voigt models are presented as examples of rheological models used to describe viscoelastic behavior in stress relaxation and creep experiments.
3) A generalized Maxwell model is also described, which is made of several Maxwell elements connected in parallel to better fit real viscoelastic data compared to a single Maxwell element model. The method of successive residuals is introduced to determine the parameters for the generalized Maxwell model.
Uma questão fundamental na astrobiologia, é: se a vida pode ser transportada entre planetas extrassolares, e sistemas planetários?

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Redefining brain tumor segmentation: a cutting-edge convolutional neural netw...IJECEIAES
Medical image analysis has witnessed significant advancements with deep learning techniques. In the domain of brain tumor segmentation, the ability to
precisely delineate tumor boundaries from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans holds profound implications for diagnosis. This study presents an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning, integrating
the state-of-the-art Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone. The
model is rigorously trained and evaluated, exhibiting remarkable performance
metrics, including an impressive global accuracy of 99.286%, a high-class accuracy of 82.191%, a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 79.900%, a weighted
IoU of 98.620%, and a Boundary F1 (BF) score of 83.303%. Notably, a detailed comparative analysis with existing methods showcases the superiority of
our proposed model. These findings underscore the model’s competence in precise brain tumor localization, underscoring its potential to revolutionize medical
image analysis and enhance healthcare outcomes. This research paves the way
for future exploration and optimization of advanced CNN models in medical
imaging, emphasizing addressing false positives and resource efficiency.

Editor's Notes
dark regions show activity (before failure) that ultimately localizes into well-defined bands;
what was surprising is that structure correlations different; correlations anisotropic form (similar to quadropolar) means sit at damaged site next event likely to occur close at 53 degrees which surprisingly lead to a band with different angle.

the picture is that eshelby-like events perturbes stress field in some particular way
perturbation in stress
negative positive lobes: it’s very likely to see next event because shear is big at 45 degrees
why i’m showing pressure
be more quantitative about this angle, we should look at fy (coulomb)
\phi=35
perturbation in coulomb stress still has quadropolar symmetry positive lobes slightly tilting upwards
depending on internal friction \phi
