Microstructural properties of materials, especially crystalline solids, are implicated in many of their properties. Vice versa, there are macroscopic environments which limit microstructural configurations. Certain iron/rare earth alloys, eg, TbDyFe2, display both a huge magnetostriction and frustration, i.e., minimum energy not achieved, in which microstructure plays an important, if puzzling,...

Flexural wave motion in an infinite transversely isotropic, thermoelastic plate in the context of conventional coupled thermoelasticity (CT), Lord-Shulman (LS) and Green-Lindsay (GL) theories of generalized thermoelasticity has been studied by asymptotic method. The asymptotic operator plate model for flexural motion in a transversely isotropic thermoelastic plate leads to fifth degree polynomi...

There has been considerable discussion of the claim by Stapp [1] that quantum theory is incompatible with locality. In this note I analyze the meaning of some of the statements used in this discussion.

The possibility is investigated that a nonlocal formulation of gauge theories may provide an alternative mechanism for the generation of mass. For this purpose, a path-integral approach is used, with gauge-averaging term leading to an invertible integro-differential operator on field disturbances and to a mass term in the semiclassical Lagrangian. It is therefore shown that suitable choices of ...

Quantum mechanics and relativistic causality together imply nonlocality: nonlo-cal correlations (that violate the CHSH inequality) and nonlocal equations of motion (the Aharonov-Bohm effect). Can we invert the logical order? We consider a conjecture that nonlocality and relativistic causality together imply quantum mechanics. We show that correlations preserving relativistic causality can viola...

The Boltzmann local physical kinetics forecasts the destruction of SC regime because heat movement particles. Then, most fundamental distinction between a strange metal and conventional is absence well-defined quasi-particles. Here, we show that mentioned “quasi-particles” are solitons, which formed as result self-organization ionized matter. Shortcomings consist in description transport proces...
