چکیده
We argue that surface undulations observed after self-sustained rapid crystallization of amorphous films result from a thermal instability that induces a periodically varying crystallization rate. Its physical origin is discussed for a simple nonlinear heat conduction model which yields good agreement with experimental observations. The model displays a rich variety of interesting physical phenomena. It contains a co-dimension two bifurcation point in whose vicinity detailed analytic results can be obtained. A numerical analysis of the nonlinear oscillations shows that these, in turn, bifurcate via a series of period-doubling bifurcations.

North-Holland, Amsterdam FREE ELECTRON LASERS FOR THE XUV SPECTRAL REGION
The generation of high intensity coherent radiation m the soft X-ray region from a free electron laser will require the FEL to operate in the high gam or collective instability regime. In this mode of operation, which does not require a cavity resonator, the radiation field grows exponentially along the undulator until nonlinear effects bring on saturation . We discuss the conditions that the e...
متن کاملInstability-based mechanism for body undulations in centipede locomotion.
Centipedes have many body segments and legs and they generate body undulations during terrestrial locomotion. Centipede locomotion has the characteristic that body undulations are absent at low speeds but appear at faster speeds; furthermore, their amplitude and wavelength increase with increasing speed. There are conflicting reports regarding whether the muscles along the body axis resist or s...

In this paper, dynamic behavior of a functionally graded cantilever micro-beam and its pull-in instability, subjected to simultaneous effects of a thermal moment and nonlinear electrostatic pressure, has been studied. It has been assumed that the top surface is made of pure metal and the bottom surface from a metal–ceramic mixture. The ceramic constituent percent of the bottom surface ranges fr...
متن کاملNonlinear Instability of Coupled CNTs Conveying Viscous Fluid
In the present study, nonlinear vibration of coupled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in presence of surface effect is investigated based on nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam (EBB) theory. CNTs are embedded in a visco-elastic medium and placed in the uniform longitudinal magnetic field. Using von Kármán geometric nonlinearity and Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear higher order governing equations are deriv...

The fluid-conveying pipe is a fundamental dynamical problem in the field of fluid– structure interactions. In recent years considerable attention has been given to the lateral vibrations of pipes containing by a moving fluid. In this paper, the vibration analysis of composite natural gas pipeline in the thermal and humidity environment is studied. The effect of the non-uniform magnetic field is...
