A skilled string performer is able to play a series of spiccato notes (short strokes played by a bouncing bow) with each onset showing little or no aperiodic motion before a regular slip/stick pattern (Helmholtz motion) is triggered. Kinematic analysis reveals that a well-behaving bow gives nearly vertical impacts on the string, and that the first slip of each note takes place when the normal b...

We present 2D dynamic rupture models of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake based on linear slip-weakening friction. We use different types of available observations to constrain our model parameters. The distribution of stress drop is determined by the final slip distribution from slip inversions. As three groups of along-dip slip distribution are suggested by different slip inversions, we present ...

On the micro- and nanoscale, classical hydrodynamic boundary conditions such as the no-slip condition no longer apply. Instead, the flow profiles exhibit "slip" at the surface, which is characterized by a finite slip length (partial slip). We present a new, systematic way of implementing partial-slip boundary conditions with arbitrary slip length in coarse-grained computer simulations. The main...

The aim of the present work is to analyze the accuracy and to extend the capability of lattice Boltzmann method in slip EOF; a phenomenon which was previously studied by molecular dynamics and less considered by LBM. At the present work, a numerical experiment on boundary conditions of slip velocity is performed and the proportionality of slip with shear stress in electroosmotic pump is proved....

General Comments: This is a well-documented and well-written article, however much of it seems to dwell on and define standard mathematical concepts (like deterministic chaos, fixed points and attractors) and seems not appropriate to include in a research publication. Furthermore, a parameter study (as done in this paper) finds different solution style regimes and a linearized stability analysi...

The steady-state fully-developed laminar flow of non-Newtonian power-law fluids is examined in a circular microchannel with slip boundary condition and under an imposed constant wall heat flux. Effects of slip as well as the hydrodynamic and thermal key parameters on heat transfer and entropy generation are investigated. The results reveal that increasing the Brinkman number and the flow behavi...

By integrating eeects of microscopic interactions between statisticaly self-similar fault surfaces, we succeeded in deriving a slip-and time-dependent fault constitutive law that rationally uniies the slip-dependent law and the rate-and state-dependent law (Aochi and Matsu'ura, 199881]). In this con-stitutive law the slip-weakening results from the abrasion of surface asperities that proceeds i...

many earthquakes occur in iran every year and some of these earthquakes cause loss of life and property. consequently earthquake is one of challenging topics not only in iran but also in other active tectonic regions in the world. investigating the mechanism of earthquake as a natural disaster is the first and important step. to study earthquakes, different information such as geometry and beha...

We consider the spatiotemporal fluctuation of slip-link positions via the implementation of elastic slip-links. The level of description is similar to our previously proposed slip-link model, wherein we use the entanglement position in space as dynamic variables, and the number of Kuhn steps between entanglements. However, since it is a mean-field, single-chain description it has some relevance...
