Extracting contact forces in bonded granular ensembles [PDF]
Interparticle bonding is prevalent in stored powders, geological formations, and infrastructure engineering, yet a comprehensive understanding of the effects of its micro-mechanics on bulk properties has not been established experimentally. One challenge

Nonlocality, violation of lorentz in variance, and wave-particle duality in quantum theory [PDF]
This thesis addresses some of the consequences of giving quantum mechanics a realist interpretation. We consider three main topics: wave-particle duality, locality, and Lorentz invariance.

Past of a quantum particle: old problem with recent controversies
Time-symmetric formulation of quantum mechanics—the two-state vector formalism—is presented as a tool for studying past behaviour of quantum systems. A role of weak measurement and weak values in the Cheshire Cat effect and a nested (Vaidman) three-path ...

Classical mechanics: systems of particles and Hamiltonian dynamics
This textbook Classical Mechanics provides a complete survey on all aspects of classical mechanics in theoretical physics. An enormous number of worked examples and problems show students how to apply the abstract principles to realistic problems.

Response to Pashby: Time operators and POVM observables in quantum mechanics [PDF]
I argue against a general time observable in quantum mechanics except for quantum gravity theory. Then I argue in support of case specific arrival time and dwell time observables with a cautionary note concerning the broad approach to POVM observables ...

Statistical mechanics of graphity models [PDF]
Graphity models are characterized by configuration spaces in which states correspond to graphs and Hamiltonians that depend on local properties of graphs such as the degrees of vertices and numbers of short cycles. As statistical systems, graphity models

Eulerian modelling and computational fluid dynamics simulation of mono and polydisperse fluidized suspension [PDF]
This research project is concerned with the Eulerian-Eulerian mathematical modelling of fluidized suspensions. We first derive new averaged equations of motion for particulate systems made up of a finite number of monodisperse particle classes; this ...

Relativistic Mechanical Model for Three-Particle System [PDF]
The relativistic mechanics of a system consisting of three point particles is investigated. The theory is derived from a Lagrangian with constraints which relate the internal variables with the total momentum of the system. The model in which the case of the unequal constituent masses can be worked on is presented and the consistent theory with the ...

Modeling, Simulation, and Design of Self-Assembling Space Systems: Accurate Collision Detection, Robust Time Integration, and Optimal Control [PDF]
Motivated by issues inherent in modeling and designing self-assembling systems (e.g. multiple collisions, collisions between non-smooth bodies, clumping and jamming behaviors, etc.), the goal of this thesis is to develop robust numerical tools that ...
