Crack dynamics and crack surfaces in elastic beam lattices

1998

The dynamics of propagating cracks is analyzed in elastic two-dimensional lattices of beams. At early times, inertia effects and static stress enhancement combine so that the crack-tip velocity is found to behave as t1/7. At late times a minimal crack-tip model reproduces the numerical simulation results. With no disorder and for fast loading, a “mirror-mist-mirror” crack-surface pattern emerges. Introduction of disorder leads, however, to the formation of the “mirror-mist-hackle”–type interface typical in many experimental situations. Peer reviewed

Lattice Boltzmann versus Molecular Dynamics simulations of nanoscale hydrodynamic flows

2006

A fluid flow in a simple dense liquid, passing an obstacle in a two-dimensional thin film geometry, is simulated by Molecular Dynamics (MD) computer simulation and compared to results of Lattice Boltzmann (LB) simulations. By the appropriate mapping of length and time units from LB to MD, the velocity field as obtained from MD is quantitatively reproduced by LB. The implications of this finding for prospective LB-MD multiscale applications are discussed.

A Monte Carlo Study of the Low-Temperature Properties of Strongly Correlated Localized Particles in Disordered Systems

1993

A computer simulation method is presented, which yields the ground state as well as the low-energy excitations for disordered systems of many interacting particles. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by the application to the Coulomb glass, i.e. many localized electrons with long-range interaction. The obtained knowledge about the specific configurations of a large number of excited states is only the starting point for further investigations. First results are presented which shed a new light on old controversies about the behaviour of correlated electrons within the Coulomb gap regime.

Linear inverse filtering improves spatial separation of nonlinear brain dynamics: a simulation study.

2000

We examined topographic variations in nonlinear measures based on scalp voltages, which were generated by two simulated current dipoles each placed in a different hemisphere of a spherical volume conductor (three-shell model). Dipole dynamics were that of a three-torus and the x-component of the Lorenz-system and scalp voltage were calculated for a configuration of 29 electrode positions. Although estimates for correlation dimension D2 and Lyapunov exponent L1 were close to the theoretical values for the original time series, the simulated scalp voltage data showed almost no topographic resolution of dipole positions. In order to enhance topographic differentiation, we constructed linear in…

Numerical simulation of free dissipative open quantum system and establishment of a formula for π

2020

We transform the system/reservoir coupling model into a one-dimensional semi-infinite discrete chain with nearest neighbor interaction through a unitary transformation, and, simulate the dynamics of free dissipative open quantum system. We investigate the consequences of such modeling, which is observed as finite size effect causing the recurrence of particle from the end of the chain. Afterwards, we determine a formula for π in terms of the matrix operational form, which indicates a robustness of the connection between quantum physics and basic mathematics. peerReviewed

Cantor Dust Zone Plates

2013

In this paper we use the Cantor Dust to design zone plates based on a two-dimensional fractal for the first time. The pupil function that defines the coined Cantor Dust Zone Plates (CDZPs) can be written as a combination of rectangle functions. Thus CDZPs can be considered as photon sieves with rectangular holes. The axial irradiances produced by CDZPs of different fractal orders are obtained analitically and experimentally, analyzing the influence of the fractality. The transverse irradiance patterns generated by this kind of zone plates has been also investigated.

Beyond the Vegard's law: solid mixing excess volume and thermodynamic potentials prediction, from end-members

2020

Abstract A method has been developed, herein presented, to model binary solid solutions' volume, enthalpy and Gibbs energy using the energy state functions, E ( V , S ) , of the end-members only. The E ( V , S ) s are expanded around an unknown mixing volume, V Mix , and the fundamental equilibrium equation − ( ∂ E / ∂ V ) S = P is used to determine V Mix . V Mix allows us to model enthalpy, straightforwardly. The same argument holds using Helmholtz energy, F ( V , T ) , in place of E ( V , S ) , and the equilibrium equation becomes − ( ∂ F / ∂ V ) T = P . One can readily determine the Gibbs free energy, too. The method presented remarkably simplifies computing of solid mixings' thermodynam…

Numerical simulation of Kerr nonlinear systems : analyzing non-classical dynamics

2019

Abstract We simulate coherent driven free dissipative Kerr nonlinear system numerically using Euler’s method by solving Heisenberg equation of motion and time evolving block decimation (TEBD) algorithm, and demonstrate how the numerical results are analogous to classical bistability. The comparison with analytics show that the TEBD numerics follow the quantum mechanical exact solution obtained by mapping the equation of motion of the density matrix of the system to a Fokker-Plank equation . Comparing between two different numerical techniques, we see that the semi-classical Euler’s method gives the dynamics of the system field of one among two coherent branches, whereas TEBD numerics genera…
