Scaling Description of Dynamical Heterogeneity and Avalanches of Relaxation in Glass-Forming Liquids

We provide a theoretical description of dynamical heterogeneities in glass-forming liquids, based on the premise that relaxation occurs via local rearrangements coupled by elasticity. In our framework, the growth of the dynamical correlation length e and o ...

Des périphéries interrogées par le projet architectural

Emmanuel Rey

En Suisse, comme dans la majorité des pays avoisinants, les territoires périurbains sont révélateurs des limites diffuses entre la ville et la campagne. Depuis plusieurs décennies, le caractère diffus des périphéries urbaines suscite d’incontournables inte ...

High-order accurate entropy stable adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for special relativistic (magneto)hydrodynamics

Junming Duan

This paper develops high-order accurate entropy stable (ES) adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for the two- and three-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamic (RHD) and magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) equations, which is the high-order accurate ...

Modelling and Sensors for Magnetically-Levitated Disc Drives

Juan Patricio Tomás Peralta Fierro

The development of new industrial applications has diverted the focus of research towards compacter and faster rotatory drives. These requirements push the classical ball-bearings of electric motors to the limits in terms of operational lifetime and fricti ...

Extension of Lorentz reciprocity and Poynting theorems for spatially dispersive media with quadrupolar responses

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri

We provide a self-consistent extension of the Lorentz reciprocity theorem and the Poynting theorem for media possessing electric and magnetic dipolar and quadrupolar responses related to electric and magnetic fields and field gradients thus corresponding t ...

A teaching showcase unveils the links between special relativity and the birth of quantum physics

Giorgio Margaritondo

Quantum effects scale up with the frequency of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, modern synchrotron sources of high-frequency x-rays-that can be visited by students either personally or online-offer an opportunity for a captivating introduction to basic qu ...

On-line micro-vibration measurement method for Lorentz-type magnetic-bearing space actuators

Yves Perriard, Douglas Martins Araujo, Leopoldo Rossini, Guzmán Borque Gallego

A novel, cost-effective, real-time and on-line method for measuring the generated micro-vibrations and iden- tifying the forces in a magnetic bearing space actuator is proposed. For its validation, an actively-controlled electrodynamic (Lorentz-type) magne ...

Lorentz Force from a Current-Carrying Wire on a Charge in Motion under the Assumption of Neutrality in the Symmetrical Frame of Reference

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga

It is commonly assumed that a wire conducting an electric current is neutral in the laboratory frame of reference (the rest frame of the lattice of positive ions). Some authors consider that the wire is neutral only in a symmetrical frame of reference, in ...

Probabilistic Risk-Based Performance Evaluation of Seismically Base-Isolated Steel Structures Subjected to Far-Field Earthquakes

Aryan Rezaei Rad

The performance of base-isolated steel structures having special moment frames is assessed. The archetypes, which are designed per ASCE/SEI 7-2016, are simulated in the Finite Element (FE) computational platform, OpenSees. Adopting nonlinear dynamic analys ...

Electromagnetic Nonreciprocity

Karim Achouri, Christophe Caloz

We aim at providing a global perspective on electromagnetic nonreciprocity and clarifying confusions that arose in recent developments of the field. We provide a general definition of nonreciprocity and classify nonreciprocal systems according to their lin ...

The relativistic foundations of synchrotron radiation

Giorgio Margaritondo

Special relativity (SR) determines the properties of synchrotron radiation, but the corresponding mechanisms are frequently misunderstood. Time dilation is often invoked among the causes, whereas its role would violate the principles of SR. Here it is show ...

Breaking Lorentz reciprocity to overcome the time-bandwidth limit in physics and engineering

Hatice Altug, Kosmas Tsakmakidis

A century-old tenet in physics and engineering asserts that any type of system, having bandwidth Delta omega, can interact with a wave over only a constrained time period Delta t inversely proportional to the bandwidth (Delta t-Delta w similar to 2 pi). Th ...

Earthquake-induced loss assessment of steel frame buildings with special moment frames designed in highly seismic regions

Dimitrios Lignos, Seong-Hoon Hwang

This paper discusses an analytical study that quantifies the expected earthquake-induced losses in typical office steel frame buildings designed with perimeter special moment frames in highly seismic regions. It is shown that for seismic events associated ...

Supergravity with broken Lorentz invariance

Sergey Sibiryakov

The supersymmetric extension of the Lorentz violating Einstein-aether theory of gravity is considered. The most general Lagrangian of the linearized Einstein-aether supergravity is constructed using the superfield formalism. The constraints imposed by supe ...

Emergent Lorentz invariance with chiral fermions

Sergey Sibiryakov

We study the renormalization group flow in strongly interacting field theories in the fermion sector corresponding to the transition from theories without a Lorentz invariance at high energies to theories with an approximate Lorentz invariance in the infra ...

Completing Lorentz violating massive gravity at high energies

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Theories with massive gravitons are interesting for a variety of physical applications, ranging from cosmological phenomena to holographic modeling of condensed matter systems. To date, they have been formulated as effective field theories with a cutoff pr ...

A Novel Flexible PCB Conductive Structure for Electrodynamic Bearings and Measurement in its Induced Voltage

Hannes Bleuler, Guoping Ding

This paper proposes the concept of FlexPCB(flexible Printed Circuit Board) conductive structure for electrodynamic bearings. It has three main advantages: easy "printing" of considerably thin conductive wires, resulting in potential reduction in stray eddy ...

Experimental demonstration of broadband Lorentz non-reciprocity in an integrable photonic architecture based on Mach-Zehnder modulators

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Yang Liu, Qi Li, Ran Ding

Lorentz reciprocity is a direct consequence of Maxwell equations governing the propagation of light in passive linear media with symmetric permittivity and permeability tensors. Here, we demonstrate the first active optical isolator and circulator implemen ...

Form finding of twisted interlaced structures: a hybrid approach

Yves Weinand, Seyed Sina Nabaei, Olivier Baverel

Our study presents a set of form-finding procedures to explore curved structures made from interlaced panels. Interlacing introduces a particular coupling between assembly components which has to be formulated along with a pertinent flexible body model. We ...
