The ratchet effect in social dilemmas [PDF]
Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2020 Abstract In this paper, we investigate whether dynamic incentive schemes lead to a ratchet effect in a social dilemma. We test whether subjects strategically restrict their contribution levels at the beginning of a cumulative public goods game in order to avoid high obligations in the future and how this affects efficiency.

Ratcheting occurrence conditions of piping under sinusoidal excitations
Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2020 Ratcheting is one of the dominant failure modes under excessive earthquakes and may cause extreme failures of structures (e.g., collapse). We focused on clarifying the ratcheting mechanism of piping under sinusoidal excitations.

Investigating asymmetric ratcheting effect on budgeted earnings in Tehran Stock Exchange [PDF]
بررسیهای حسابداری و حسابرسی, 2015 Asymmetric ratcheting effect occurs when an unfavorable (favorable) budget variance causes in increase (decrease) in next period’s budget. The current study aims to investigate the existence of this effect on budgeted earning in Tehran stock exchange. We

Thermal ratchet effects in ferrofluids [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2004 Rotational Brownian motion of colloidal magnetic particles in ferrofluids under the influence of an oscillating external magnetic field is investigated. It is shown that for a suitable time dependence of the magnetic field, a noise induced rotation of the ferromagnetic particles due to rectification of thermal fluctuations takes place.

Ratcheting behavior of Eurofer97 at 550 °C
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2018 The components in reactor are usually exposed to cyclic loading caused by frequent startups, shutdown and load fluctuations which lead to ratcheting effect.

Flexoelectric Fracture-Ratchet Effect in Ferroelectrics [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2019 The propagation front of a crack generates large strain gradients and it is therefore a strong source of gradient-induced polarization (flexoelectricity). Herein, we demonstrate that, in piezoelectric materials, a consequence of flexoelectricity is that crack propagation is helped or hindered depending on whether it is parallel or antiparallel to the ...
