A series of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations have been performed to investigate the rapid fluid-like flow of a finite mass of granular material down a chute with partial lateral confinement. The chute consists of a section inclined at 40◦ to the horizontal, which is connected to a plane run-out zone by a smooth transition. The flow is confined on the inclined section by a shallo...

The analysis and optimization of the npvnp avalanche diode structure that includes two avalanche regions have been realized on basis of the nonlinear model and special optimization procedure. The admittance and energy characteristics of the DAR diode were analyzed in very wide frequency band from 30 up to 360 GHz. Output power level was optimized for the second frequency band near the 220 GHz.

The analysis and optimization of the npvnp avalanche diode structure that includes two avalanche regions have been realized on basis of the nonlinear model and special optimization procedure. The admittance characteristics of the DAR diode were analyzed in very wide frequency band from 30 up to 360 GHz and had been optimized for the third frequency band near the 300 GHz.

We analyze the scaling of avalanche precursors in the three dimensional random fuse model by numerical simulations. We find that both the integrated and nonintegrated avalanche size distributions are in good agreement with the results of the global load sharing fiber bundle model, which represents the mean-field limit of the model.
