Vortex lattice (VL) elastic response is analyzed within the nonlocal London model which holds for high-kappa clean superconductors. The squash modulus vanishes at the field H( square) where VL undergoes a square-to-rhombus transition. For H>H( square), where the square VL is stable, the rotation modulus turns zero at H = H(r), indicating VL instability to rotations. The shear modulus depends on...

Abstract Amber is a typical natural glass with very long aging time. Elastic properties of amber at high pressures have been studied using Brillouin scattering and diamond anvil cell. Both longitudinal transverse acoustic modes observed up to 12 GPa. The pressure dependences longitudinal, shear, Young’s, bulk moduli, compressibility, Poisson’s ratio were determined. moduli show the remarkable i...

The complete set of elastic stiffness coefficients of a single crystal of Mg SiO in the modified spinel wadsleyite 2 4 Ž . structure are reported at eight pressures from ambient to 14 Gigapascals GPa . All moduli vary linearly with pressure within Ž . the resolution of the data. Third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation fits to aggregate elastic moduli yield values of 170 "2 Ž . Ž . Ž . GPa and ...

We report an extension of the smoothed profile method (SPM) (Y. Nakayama, K. Kim, and R. Yamamoto, Eur. Phys. J. E 26, 361 (2008)), a direct numerical simulation method for calculating the complex modulus of the dispersion of particles, in which we introduce a temporally oscillatory external force into the system. The validity of the method was examined by evaluating the storage G'(ω) and loss ...

field experiments were conducted on an existing subsurface drainage system in roodasht region of esfahan, ian, to test the performance of drain spacing equations for transient flow. the water table profiles recorded from a series of observation wells indicated an essentially flat water surface. the effective hydraulic conductivity and the degree of anisotropy were calculated as 19.2 cm h-1 and ...

When are athermal soft-sphere packings jammed? Any experimentally relevant definition must, at the very least, require a jammed packing to resist shear. We demonstrate that widely used (numerical) protocols, in which particles are compressed together, can and do produce packings that are unstable to shear-and that the probability of generating such packings reaches one near jamming. We introduc...

We propose a Widom-like scaling ansatz for the critical jamming transition. Our ansatz for the elastic energy shows that the scaling of the energy, compressive strain, shear strain, system size, pressure, shear stress, bulk modulus, and shear modulus are all related to each other via scaling relations, with only three independent scaling exponents. We extract the values of these exponents from ...

Residue Number System (RNS) is a carry-free and non-weighed integer system. In this paper an improved three-moduli set  in reverse converter based on CRT algorithm is proposed. CRT algorithm can perform a better delay and hardware implementation in modules via other algorithms. This moduli is based on p that covers a wide range on modules and supports the whole range of its modules in dynamic r...

S U M M A R Y We present a semi-analytic iterative procedure for evaluating the 3-D deformation due to faults in an arbitrarily heterogeneous elastic half-space. Spatially variable elastic properties are modelled with equivalent body forces and equivalent surface traction in a ‘homogenized’ elastic medium. The displacement field is obtained in the Fourier domain using a semi-analytic Green func...
