Optimal operation of feedback flashing ratchets
Feedback flashing ratchets are thermal rectifiers that use information on the state of the system to operate switching on and off a periodic potential. We discuss different strategies for this operation with the aim of maximizing the net flux of particles in the collective version of a flashing ratchet consisting on N overdamped Brownian particles. We show the optimal protocols for the one-part...
متن کاملAnalytical aspects of the Brownian motor effect in randomly flashing ratchets.
The muscle contraction, operation of ATP synthase, maintaining the shape of a cell are believed to be secured by motor proteins, which can be modelled using the Brownian ratchet mechanism. We consider the randomly flashing ratchet model of a Brownian motor, where the particles can be in two states, only one of which is sensitive the applied spatially periodic potential (the mathematical setting...
متن کاملStiffeners Mechanical Effect Analysis by Numerical Coupling
Given any structure, we seek to find the solution of mechanical problem as precisely and efficiently as possible. Within this condition, the BEM is robust and promising development, standing out in the analysis of cases with occurrence of large stress gradients, as in problems of fracture mechanics. Moreover, in BEM the modeling of infinite means is performed naturally, without the use of appro...
متن کاملnumerical analysis of thermo-mechanical coupling in shape memory alloys
the phase transformation phenomenon due to the crystallographic change of shape memory alloys subjected to mechanical or thermal loading is very complicated. regarding the thermo-mechanical coupling effects in shape memory alloys, in case of high loading rates, heat generation/absorption during the forward/reverse transformation, will lead in temperature-dependent variation and consequently af...
متن کاملSecure Software Flashing
An increasing number of vehicular electronic control units (ECU) are equipped with reprogrammable flash memory. The software program in the flash memory determines the behavior of the ECU. The program code usually can be updated via a bootloader, e.g., for a firmware update, a bug fix, or an update enabling additional functionality. The download might be performed over a diagnostic channel or i...
