NON-LINEAR MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND THERMAL PHENOMENA IN PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTALS
2003
Mechanical, electrical and thermal phenomena occurring in piezoelectric crystals were examined by non-linear approximation. For this purpose, use was made of the thermodynamic function of state, which describes an anisotropic body. Considered was the Gibbs function. The calculations included strain tensor εij = f(σkl , En, T), induction vector Dm = f(σkl , En, T) and entropy S = f(σkl , En, T) as function of stress σkl , field strength En and temperature difference T. The equations obtained apply to anisotropic piezoelectric bodies provided that the “forces” σkl , En, T acting on the crystal are known. Механічні, електричні та термічні явища у п’єзоелектричних кристалах вивчаються у неліній…
Calculation of local pressure tensors in systems with many-body interactions
2005
Local pressures are important in the calculation of interface tensions and in analyzing micromechanical behavior. The calculation of local pressures in computer simulations has been limited to systems with pairwise interactions between the particles, which is not sufficient for chemically detailed systems with many-body potentials such as angles and torsions. We introduce a method to calculate local pressures in systems with n-body interactions (n=2,3,4,) based on a micromechanical definition of the pressure tensor. The local pressure consists of a kinetic contribution from the linear momentum of the particles and an internal contribution from dissected many-body interactions by infinitesim…
Variation of extent of reaction in closed chemical equilibrium when changing the temperature at constant volume
2011
In this paper it is presented a thermodynamic analysis that aims to find the mathematical expression of the variation of extent of reaction with the infinitesimal variation in the temperature at constant volume of a chemical equilibrium mixture. The goal of this paper is to establish an alternative approach to avoid both the Le Chatelier's principle and the problems that emerge when trying to apply its qualitative statements. This attempt is based on the laws of thermodynamics.
Left-Right Equivalence and Stability
2020
We introduce the key equivalence relations on germs of maps, which play an important role throughout the book—right-equivalence and left-right equivalence (A-equivalence). These are induced by groups of diffeomorphisms, so equivalence classes have tangent spaces, and we calculate many examples, including some multi-germs. We introduce the notions of stability and finite determinacy, and prove Mather’s infinitesimal criterion for stability.
Deformations of Calabi-Yau manifolds in Fano toric varieties
2020
In this article, we investigate deformations of a Calabi-Yau manifold $Z$ in a toric variety $F$, possibly not smooth. In particular, we prove that the forgetful morphism from the Hilbert functor $H^F_Z$ of infinitesimal deformations of $Z$ in $F$ to the functor of infinitesimal deformations of $Z$ is smooth. This implies the smoothness of $H^F_Z $ at the corresponding point in the Hilbert scheme. Moreover, we give some examples and include some computations on the Hodge numbers of Calabi-Yau manifolds in Fano toric varieties.
Canonical Brownian Motion on the Diffeomorphism Group of the Circle
2002
AbstractFor infinitesimal data given on the group of diffeomorphism of the circle with respect to the metric H3/2, the associated Brownian motion has been constructed by Malliavin (C.R. Acad. Sci. Parist.329 (1999), 325–329). In this work, we shall give another approach and prove the invariance of heat measures under the adjoint action of S1.
A geometrical constructive approach to infinitesimal analysis: epistemological potential and boundaries of tractional motion
2014
Recent foundational approaches to Infinitesimal Analysis are essentially algebraic or computational, whereas the first approaches to such problems were geometrical. From this perspective, we may recall the seventeenth-century investigations of the “inverse tangent problem.” Suggested solutions to this problem involved certain machines, intended as both theoretical and actual instruments, which could construct transcendental curves through so-called tractional motion. The main idea of this work is to further develop tractional motion to investigate if and how, at a very first analysis, these ideal machines (like the ancient straightedge and compass) can constitute the basis of a purely geome…
A C0-Semigroup of Ulam Unstable Operators
2020
The Ulam stability of the composition of two Ulam stable operators has been investigated by several authors. Composition of operators is a key concept when speaking about C0-semigroups. Examples of C0-semigroups formed with Ulam stable operators are known. In this paper, we construct a C0-semigroup (Rt)t&ge
Toward a Quality Guide to Facilitate the Transference of Analytical Methods from Research to Testing Laboratories: A Case Study
2009
Abstract At present, there is no single viewpoint that defines QA strategies in analytical chemistry. On the other hand, there are no unique protocols defining a set of analytical tasks and decision criteria to be performed during the method development phase (e.g., by a single research laboratory) in order to facilitate the transference to the testing laboratories intending to adapt, validate, and routinely use this method. This study proposes general criteria, a priori valid for any developed method, recommended as a provisional quality guide containing the minimum internal tasks necessary to publish new analytical method results. As an application, the selection of some basic internal qu…
Next-to-next-to-leading order N -jettiness soft function for one massive colored particle production at hadron colliders
2017
The $N$-jettiness subtraction has proven to be an efficient method to perform differential QCD next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations in the last few years. One important ingredient of this method is the NNLO soft function. We calculate this soft function for one massive colored particle production at hadron colliders. We select the color octet and color triplet cases to present the final results. We also discuss its application in NLO and NNLO differential calculations.
